April 1: No Joke

Was walking on air. Screwed on my new plate, jumped in the purple seat, turned on bus, set my route, put it in reverse and bus wouldn’t move. Not in any gear. Waited nine hours for a tow to a Chevy dealer who does not have a truck or a van on its lot, let alone a bus. I will find out in the morning if Coach-Net (AAA for RVs) got it right.

My coping skills are almost nonexistent … all the while knowing I need to get back to extreme gratitude, forgiveness, and stop with the worst-case scenarios. I think it will begin with gratitude for the tow truck driver being a hell of a great guy who figured out how to do the impossible – tow me by lifting my rear, not the. front.
