Adjusting to an Entirely New Way of Life

Well, it’s been over 24 hours since I arrived at my RV campsite beside the shores of Lake Superior. After 20 years of living in a home with all the creature comforts, adjusting to new ways of cooking, toileting, bathing, and keeping my RV home clean will be a (hopefully) welcome challenge for me.

Gone will be the days of walking to the laundry room to wash clothes on a whim, or putting the soiled dishes into the dishwasher for it to work its magic. Even the simplest thing as where to brush my teeth will need to be adjusted…inside at the bathroom sink or outside with the gallon jug of water? Will there be enough water to wash dishes, flush the toilet, brush my teeth or take a quick shower?

As for clothing…will I ever wear a dress again, or will my “camping clothes” replace my wardrobe?

Will the place I’m choosing to stay have water and electric hook-ups, or will I need to use my generator or make sure I have enough solar power to power my lights? The learning curve may be steep, but I’m up for the challenge. At the age of 63,

I’m actually reinventing myself and my life!
