Maximum Minimal Living

Friday morning I left home to attend a VW test event. It concluded at 1:30pm, and I had no plans after that, and all my deadlines were done. So I flitted around, from couch to couch, no master plan, and didn’t return home until late last night.

I lived for 3 days with just this:

Message is: you need much less than you think.

It’s easy as long as you’re a little prepared (toothbrush and small essentials are always kept in my glovebox), and have an imagination for solving mundane chores. It’s so refreshing to live like this. Try it.

 

 

Shutting Down till Monday

All’s okay, just overloaded with work, am out-of-country next week, and feeling a little burned out.  Haven’t yet missed a day updating this year, so now we know – I can make it half a year like that.  Second half I think I’ll schedule in a few more long-weekends, look at me learning.

Have a great weekend xo

 

 

I Sneak Away from Parties Always

To go sit quietly, by myself.

I’m not anxious about socializing or speaking to people,
I just run out of things to say.

I speak so little in real life, my default is silent. I can make it entire dinners without speaking. One time, I didn’t talk to anyone for 5 days.

So a party or event is a lot of talking for me. This blog is a ton of talking.

This is a known. Here’s the email that came with an exclusive PR invite last month.

Remember that recent weekend I spent at the track? Apparently there was a bet going on, to see how long I’d last, before having to leave to be alone.

I’ve got it down to a science… don a cloak of invisibility…

… and I’m gone.

 

 

Back in Country Hi Hi

I could get used to this chartered stuff. Phft, already am.

This morning when I tried to open the room safe, it had malfunctioned, and the latch was stuck.  So an engineer had to rescue my passport.

Did you just have the same idea I did…

Left Tuesday, returned this afternoon, and despite being in an out-of-service zone 75% of the trip, still managed to hoover up 61 MB.

I know I said I’d blog the 3rd rally instalment today, but I’ve averaged about 4 hours sleep each night, and have moved into that next level of sleep deprivation that, although am good at and kind’ve get off on, I pay heavily for in the long run.

Because I may have out-published almost everyone this week, ha. Blogged 7 times, wrote the news, filed 3 stories and 3 photo galleries with the newspaper, and then interviewed and wrote next week’s column (“About car rallies”.)

So shutting it down and going to find food, will blog Day 3 tomorrow Monday.

OH!

Tonight is a full moon, on a Friday the 13th,
which won’t happen again till 2049.

Blog tag = The Planets

I’ll leave you with what I look like on a plane.

TTYT night
