The story is too long and depressing, so let's just say AAA jerked me around for 20 hours before I sought my own jump, which then turned into a tow, for a total of $1,000. I made it to the Skoolie Swarm, left in the field inside the gate but away from the camping areas. Tomorrow several men are coming by to diagnose the problem. The good news is it could be just a loose cable.

I had a couple of visitors, including a sister witch, friends with whom I've camped, and a woman making her first long trip all the way from Connecticut in her skoolie. We finished the rest of a bottle of Prosecco, and my Purple seat cushion found a new home with her.

I need the rest of the night to decompress. The total darkness and quiet surround me with much needed stillness and calm.

Thanks to all of you who have sent love, hugs, laughter and encouragement. I will just keep breathing and let the universe take care of everything else.
