Icarus Update

They just got the piece for the light today, so they will be fixing that, and getting a sticker put on it tomorrow morning.

Nothing else is wrong with it. Just need to show up and Pay.

Now I just need a temporary income to pay off my card and pay for gas for the first leg of our trip.

That is all.

Preparations are being made.

Icarus is in the shop right now. She needs herself some repairs, and it will be a few days. I am a little nervous, which is new to me. I am usually not this concerned about something like that. Hell, I have grown up around hospice patients, and had less anxiety about their deaths and well-being.

I got to drive her for the first time. I put the plates on and drove her around as I got her to the shop. It was a strange sensation. I felt like I was over-compensating for such a large vehicle, but according to my mother (who was following me) I drove it extremely well. I just feel like I need to be more confident. I also need to adjust to this new mood I am in. I can't put words to it. It doesn't feel real...or it feels like something new entirely.

Plus, now that I have the means, I need to find the end. (I believe I am using that phrase properly...but I've been wrong before!) In April we ship out, and I need to find out WHERE we will be going first. My first concern is to find us a temporary income. Or even just a single job. Someplace other than here. I would like to head south. Not all the way south...just south enough that I am not cold.
I am noticing that spring is starting to show. Which means that outdoor events should start soon. If anybody knows of Ren Faires, Re-enactments, or anything requiring performers, artists, costumers, makeup, etc...Please let us know.
We need to build our network. I would prefer to have a starting point. But if we don't, then that's our first hurdle.

Sp speak up! We will need help to make this work...I simply hope that we can repay any aid for us in kind.

Cross your fingers kiddies.

So I was handed my wax wings this afternoon...

I have been VERY out of sorts as of late. I'd say downright depressed. I've been caring less and less about things. Even things I cared strongly about before. It all built up until I stormed out of my own birthday party last week, refusing to go to dinner and have my own birthday cake and presents. I love drama...I love using theatricality to get a point across...but that is not one of those moments. It was pretty rough. I didn't speak to my family for a few days. I couldn't think of anywhere else to go, so I was trapped, or walking the streets in a snow storm. Hard place to be.

SO my dad calls me this morning, and tells me to get dressed and come outside. Him and my mother are in the car. I get in and they proceed to have a small fight with me. Then they show me the RV they are buying me.
I signed the Title this afternoon, and next Wednesday we are registering it and giving it a tune up. I am lying down in it as we speak. I'm spending my first night in my Ship.

I swear to god my family is bi-polar...or they are playing some sort of sick game.

But either way, we have an RV. We leave in April...just so you know.


Pics to come!
