For now I’m still here. But, my mind is elsewhere. Traveling.
I know it’s not easy. I read the boards.
And I’m certainly not prepared to leave alone in the cold.
They need all the help they can get to take care of things
around here.
I don’t think I could just up and leave Trina. There are a couple
other women here but it’s Trina and the girls I feel closest to.
She reminds me of my sister. A sister I know, no longer exists.
Preparing for winter is taking all our time. We have a sturdy
shelter in this motel but there are roof leaks and just things
we need to secure as well as winterize.
We all plan to sleep in less rooms in the winter. It’s such a
luxury for all of us to have our own rooms and beds. We are lucky
that the number of people is less than the amount of beds.
(with the exception of the children whom don’t seem to mind
sharing beds mostly)
We figure if we are all in smaller spaces. Together. Maybe
it will help keep the warmth in as well as keep people from
getting winter blues and feeling lonely which can happen even
if you’re surrounded by people. But if you are busy AND surrounded
by people maybe we can keep it at bay.
I am trying not to get too attached to everyone with the thoughts
of leaving when spring comes. But I think I’m already so attached.
Just the way it is, I suppose.
