Yay! Medusa is back!

I got Medusa back today and it wasn't expensive at all! The radiator cap was cracked... so new radiator cap and I'm good to go. The owner of the shop said it's a great van and should be good for a couple of years without any major repairs!

Before I picked her up, I walked around Santa Monica listening to the Women on The Road Podcast.... It gave me so much confidence and reassurance... It turns out that other women also experience the same things I am experiencing...

I am SO FREAKING SCARED RIGHT NOW!

I mean, yes, not paying rent today for the first time in my adult life was pretty awesome. I also threw away my schedule!

But oh my god this is very scary.... As a strong independent Amazon, I am not practiced in saying I am scared, and really I often am made to feel shame when I do. But listening to that podcast made me remember that we are all scared most of the time, and sometimes, we just have to do it anyway.

So, I bought a paper road atlas, and got Medusa back!

Then finally I had the time and space to organize and I found a place for everything!
