Day 225 A Pie For A Car?

Today, I haven't left my house. The windows are open, the air is nice, and I have found no reason to venture beyond my living room, except to take the dog out. Tonight I made rice with some garden squash thrown in and some really divine corn bread, it was more than enough to keep me happy. Right now, I'm contemplating my next bold move, not sure if I want to work on my bedroom a little more, catch up on work, or go out and try to talk the guy down from the Clear Communications tower, where he's been for four days. I'm leaning towards working on the bedroom. I am also on day three of petitioning the universe for a working car and the universe threw me a bone in that a co-worker offered to loan me one her cars for a few days. I am still waiting for the full universe treatment with a brand new, slightly used, low miles, car with which I can sustain myself for the next five years or so. If anyone knows of any opportunities or trades, I am open to bartering! I could bake a pie and trade up like that one guy did, who eventually got a house. Who would trade me a pie for something slightly more valuable?

Day 81 Bean Pie Making Tulip Farmer

My car is almost ready and I'm so happy, I truly do not prefer depending on other people for rides. Today, I left my office, with the intention of walking to Warehouse Market, which is a little bit across the street, only when I got to the end of the sidewalk, the distance seemed really far to walk on my pirate leg so I turned back around and asked one of my co-workers for yet another lift. I could only buy certain things due to time between store and fridge, so I ended up just getting a squash, two avocados, some salsa, and tortilla chips. That is what I had for dinner. It's funny how something as stupid as losing transportation can affect everything else, including how and when I eat. This is a lesson for me to be more understanding when someone has several obstacles in the way of something that to me should be easily overcome. I'm lucky, my co-workers live close by and are able to help me out, what if I knew no one, what if I had no resources to get my car fixed? What if that meant, I couldn't get to work, lost my job, and became homeless and hungry? I'm not being funny, most of us are only a paycheck away, every month from this very situation. It's kind of scary how dependant we are on people, on cars, on a paycheck for our survival. My dream is to someday become self sufficient or at least enough so that I can get through a season, without having to grocery shop for food. Car's broken? It's OK, dinner is in the garden and dessert is in the orchard, no toilet paper? No problem, I'll knit some from that sheep in the yard! Lost your crappy job? No worries, we can sell bean pies and tulips by the roadside, people with real jobs will buy, I'm sure of it.
