Adjusting


It is amazing how you can adjust so quickly when you live like we do out here on the road. I thought about this last night. It was our first night trip on the bus- 450 miles from Calgary to Spokane. I was running late for our midnight bus call because Darrel and I were enjoying the BEST dinner, so I hopped on the bus without getting ready for bed in the hotel room first. Next thing you know, I am at a Flying J truck stop, not thinking twice about bringing my bathroom bag in and washing my face with paper towels taking out my contacts, and brushing my teeth. Our 8 hour trip turned into 12 because of horrible weather, so I adjusted to sleeping in my coffin of a bunk being tossed an turned. Get to Spokane, quick change of shoes and coats around in the suitcases because it is warm here (35), and off for the day. Did I mention no food or running water on the bus yet?

I am happy I live like this right now- it has taught me to be even more organized than I already am, and kind of take what ever comes my way. There is no set schedule out here. No set anything really. Anything that is 'set in stone' can change at the drop of a hat.

I can't wait for my sister to come out here and live on the bus with us for a week in January!
