Hmm. I hesitate to put this out here because some of the people I follow are kind of miserable about this kind of thing, but I suppose I can always block them. The normal people who follow me deserve an explanation for the behavioral change that's about to happen here.

My parents have asked me to move out. Now I don't want to hear anything bad about my parents over this. It is a simple, objective fact that I'm a difficult person to live with. Not only is this better for everyone else in the house, it's better for me, too. I'm bad at living in group situations. On top of that, they can't really afford to continue to support me right now. There are six people in this house, including one disabled person, and only two of them are employed.

The problem is, I don't have a job or any way of consistently making money right now, and my chances of getting a regular job aren't high. I've been applying to jobs basically nonstop and have heard back from precious few of them. I'll keep applying, but it's honestly more so I can tell people I've been applying than because I expect to get a job that way. And even if I do, it'll be part time. I'm not eligible for unemployment because I left my last job instead of forcing them to fire me.

Basically, I anticipate being homeless.

This is probably going to result in more erratic and less consistent posting. The ko-fi store plan was never meant to cover more than just my dental insurance, but I plan on continuing on with that if possible. I may raise my prices from what I had intended or take on more expensive projects (if anyone wants to commission a hand-knitted blanket hit me up). But if anyone has any other ideas for ways I can make money let me know.

#honestly even if i can get a full time job ill still be homeless for a while because apartments demand employment history #i do have a real good credit score tho i might be able to get my mits on an rv #well see well see #once again i do NOT want to hear any slander against my parents for this #ive been in a situation with people who dont love or even like me and this is not it

Hello and welcome to my new blog Calliope’s Compass 😁

I’m so excited for you all to join me on this new journey.

My name is Molly and my new travel trailer is named Calliope! I live in Florida with my senior Dog, Riley who is currently 10 and my senior Cat, Laveau who is currently 7. They’re joining me on this journey so it will be an adjustment for all of us.

I’m absolutely brand new to RV living. I go full time starting July 1st and I’m going to share my experiences, pictures/videos, successes, and fails with everyone here.

For a while I’m going to stay with my current job and I’ll be somewhat stationary, learning the ins and outs, the do’s and do not’s, the maintenance and upkeep of RV life (because there is a LOT). But eventually I am going to move on to traveling either with a remote position or traveling in my current career. I’m a Certified Surgical Technologist and a Certified Sterile Processing and Distribution Technician. I work in the OR and while I LOVE what I do, it doesn’t offer me very much freedom. (And I don’t even take call! I work Monday through Friday!) but by the time I get home I’ve been gone 12 hours and by Saturday I’m dead tired. I love that I get to help people and that I get to be a part of safety and protection for all of the patients that I see every day and I don’t plan on giving that up completely. I worked entirely too hard to let my skills or my certifications lapse. There has to be just the right option out there. I’m going to find it!

T-Minus 68 days until I move in! In this first post I’m going to share with you the first FIVE things I learned while in the research phase. Now let me preface by saying I’ve had A LOT of help getting started on this journey.

The first thing I learned while researching Full Time RV Living is that finding a long term spot in Florida is much more difficult than I ever imagined! Everywhere I’ve called is fully booked or has a year+ waiting list. So where am I going to end up? I have no idea. My first booking is for 3 months. After that I’m parking in a family member’s driveway for two days before we take a family trip to Ocala so I can wander through the Ocala National Forest for my birthday and spend some much needed time with my family. Not to mention, more practice driving while towing Calliope! And after that.. I’m still working on it. Florida is also always a mandatory evacuation zone for RVs and usually mobile homes during a storm. So there is a lot to consider when it comes to location! However, it’s really a cool option that I can just pack up my entire home and take it with me.

My second discovery—you can’t have AC unless you’re connected to power! That sounds like a basic knowledge statement, but I have solar panels and a battery and the electric will turn on the lights so I didn’t know you still needed power. I guess that’s why it’s sometimes referred to as boondocking when you’re not plugged in. You have a nice comfy bed but no AC. Running water but that runs out quickly because the tank is only so many gallons. (speaking of comfy beds… A lot of RVs come with a thin mattress that not even Satan would sleep on. Lol it’ll be an immediate upgrade for sure. Thankfully, my current mattress is coming with me!)

Three: the maintenance and upkeep on an RV to keep it in good shape is a LOT of work. There’s weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual upkeep and maintenance required to keep everything running smoothly. Everything from just a weekly inspection of the interior and exterior seals, to sanitizing and flushing holding tanks, to AC coil cleaning and wheel greasing (because apparently that’s a thing). Oh, and emptying a black tank which is where all of the… unmentionable waste ends up. 😳

The fourth thing I have learned… moisture is the enemy! Dehumidifiers and Damprid will be one of my best friends!

And number five, DDO—Downsize, Declutter, and Organize. RV living offers a lot of interesting ways to store things but the space is minimal! I have a storage area under my bed, I thankfully have a large RV closet, a washer and dryer closet, a large pantry, and another storage section under my couch! plus some large drawers and cabinets. But the amount of things I have in my current home won’t all fit. So I am downsizing and decluttering and organizing. Not to mention everything you tow adds weight. The more weight, the bigger towing power you need. There’s an entire formula that I don’t understand at all. And you can only add so much. You also don’t want too many breakable items because whenever you move, things inside the RV also move! I’m looking into reusable plastic plates.

I hope you have enjoyed this first post so far! There could be more to come for this one!

Editing in progress because I’m just starting out! This may eventually also become a vlog! Patience please 🙏🏻

April 2023 Financial Update

Let's try this again. This time with the correct month. Thanks for reading!

April went by in a flash and it feels like May is shaping up to do the same. Ever since we left Mesa we have been busy trying to get caught up on projects and hobbies while at the same time getting back to enjoying the things we love like hiking and site seeing. And since we have family that lives close by we have to make sure we find time to visit and catch up while we can. Over the last month…

Airstreaming to Alaska - Chapter 10: The Alaska Highway

We finely made it to the Alaska Highway! The AlCan was born to be a military supply route, but it grew up to be a story-teller. This unforeseen attribute – like an E-ticket ride at Disneyland – had us riveted from Mile-0.

I'm sitting here thinking of cookies. Not the kind you get on the Internet. Not the cookies you buy at the store. I'm thinking of cookies made from scratch at home. Remember those?

They were always special to me. The aroma as they baked. Warm gooey goodness that somehow, on an almost primal level, lifted your spirits and made the day complete. Remember that feeling?

I'm sure you thought of a different cookie than I did as you read this. Though cookies come in all different shapes, sizes, and flavors we all have a favorite that, when we think of it, transports us back to a moment of contentment. That moment of contentment is the one thing they all have in common.

Why am I thinking of cookies? Sandy and I just came back from a celebration of her Aunt Denise's life. As Donna (Denise's daughter) spoke at the celebration she told us that her parents wanted their ashes put into a cookie jar. It seemed whimsical and a little odd at first but the more I thought about it the more it made sense.

We all have good memories associated with cookie jars. Cookie jars always held special treats that could make your day and take away bad feelings. Cookie jars, really their contents, always had a magical way of lifting your spirits and making you feel better.

Good call Denise! You couldn't be in a place any better than a cookie jar.

February 2023 Dividend Portfolio Update

There is only one word that can sum up our dividend portfolio for the month of February, “blah”! We could probably end this blog quickly as this was just one of those months where nothing exciting really happened. The only exception is that our dividend from ABBV hit a small milestone and continues to be our top performer. February is typically a slow dividend month in general and our…
