I enjoy the challenge….. but…. ~ 2 comments.
Well, everything around here is going according to plan, which is easy to do when I have no plans. And I tend to put off until tomorrow even thinking about what I should have done yesterday. I guess you could say that is one of the benefits of being an irredeemable procrastinator. But when you combine my endless procrastinating with a one-track mind, I end up with many things I need to do, but I only think about the one or two things that are important to me, and I put off doing even those things until the last minute.... Oh well, such is the life of an unmitigated procrastinator.
In less than four months, I will be 80 years old, and I wonder how it will affect me. I met a man while boondocking in a casino parking lot in Las Vegas. He was 83 and still boondocking in his fifth wheel, and I remember thinking that, at the time, I was probably 70 and hoping I had the physical ability to boondock until I was 83, which gave me something to shoot for. A couple of years ago, I met another guy who was 85 and still boondocking, so that gave me yet another age to look forward to.
But now here I am, not even 80 yet, and I'm already taking a blood thinner pill to thin my blood every day, and taking an old geezer pill like that makes me feel like an old man with doubts about how long I can continue my current boondocking lifestyle. I still enjoy what I'm doing, but I worry about things more than I used to.
Boondocking, as I've talked about before, can be a tough way to live, both mentally and physically, and even though I enjoy the challenge, there's no telling how long that will continue.
