Journal - Burnaby - Wednesday , Dec. 2

I am thankful to be awake for another day. The little dog greeted me . I have a home, running hot and cold water, indoor plumbing, and heat. It’s raining and cold outside. I was going to walk Madigan but so far the rains not let up and he’s enjoying sleeping in on the couch.

I’m a bit in the future given that I head south a week Friday. This Friday night I’ve the Dockside Christmas Party in Carderos’ north Vancouver.  Remember going there with George and the cake friends.  Alina and Iryna of Merry Maids cleaned my place yesterday. What a joy to come home to clean and tidy.  They make my place feel so homey.  Of course Madigan immediately begins to try to turn it back into a dog house, I’ll miss them when I’m away.  I’ve laundry to drop off for the last time so I have time to pick it up then I’m back to doing my own laundry.  I have to drop off my Mini for storage. 
Then. I’ll be ready to pack up and stow and take in my slide on Thursday next.  On the Friday I’ll only have to load my Vespa and Star Link. I can’t load the Vespa yet because the back of my Thor Hurricane is up against the branches of the tree so to load the Vespa I have to pull the Thor forward a couple of feet before I leave.


I’ve got all my paperwork passport, dog passport, Nexus, Vespa and Thor insurance.  I contacted Thaun from Insurance and asked him for a copy of my Vespa insurance. I can’t get into my glove box because its stuck but I only need the insurance papers so with a copy of that I won’t need to go to Vespa to unstick the glove box which will unstick on route most likely 

I made copies of the maps for the route and stops so I’m ready for that. I’ve audio books downloaded I plan to listen to. The first one is Dan Brown’s latest book.  The stowing is getting better.  It will improved this trip south as I’ll be travelling each day and will become efficient and streamlined.  

I am vvcry grateful for my relatives and ancestors.  I have work to do but will try to take a little walk with the dog despite the rain.  

Life is good.

Thank you Jesus
