Welcome to life in or out of a van

Ok time for some more Lou mythbusting
Ok You know all those ones you think are really together and Expert
Here is reality as i am and have seen
First of all my van is never as neat or perfect as i wish. Some days the van and i are a hot mess. And some days you'd think I've lost what little sense i may have ever had
And far from having my poop in a group...some days it's spattered and far flung
I love those quiet boring Serene days
But between dogs and life and friends and things that crop up...lol
When i hear a strange noise in van I'm like omg oh hell no.
Organised and money perfect...nope not even close
My van will never be Shown as the nice set up
My van has been muh home for years. It's not got an official name. And i was surprised to be recognized. (Parts of van views plus really cute dog blew my cover)
My van is home. I'm actually pretty ordinary and dont stand out that much
Potty jugs still get spilled very rarely now
The dog had pooped all over my clesn sleeping bag. And something either finds three black hole in the van or a perfectly stored and secured item decides to go flying.
The coffee will get knocked over. And guess what i did on last two days
Left lights and and battery dead
Tonight it was being so busy i forgot to get gas. Engine stalled at light. Made it safely to station on fumes
My point is this
I'm good because I've made every mistake and then some.
The difference is
The other day when the hightop green 73 died. No panic. Trust me i had no time. But so used to the drill
Stranger pushed me off gas pump and coasted to good spot.
Went on store and told them. They are used ti it by now. Hooked 12v van in and turned on. Cold pop. Charged phone. Pulled front curtains for shade
And I'm not unique.
I could tell you at least a dozen of us old experienced ones take turns in this area.
Hell I'm so used ti vehicle being dead at gas pump it's more oh hell than omg
I had 2 or 3 months with zero van breaking something
It's this simple
Something will go wrong
You will be stranded and stuck..maybe an hour maybe weeks.
This is life. In a van or a house
.
And eventually you'll sometimes instead of fear..know ah shit me too here we go again
You'll handle it. Somehow we always do.  Breathe
