Car Dweller Tendencies

Hey Mom!

If you've been in this alcove of the internet for awhile you know that I'm fairly certain that my life is a sitcom. With that in mind, a car dweller tendency (CDT) may be defined in the following way:

Car Dweller Tendencies (CDT) - if you found out I was living out of my car, you wouldn't be surprised.

Now, I'm imagining a cartoonish sitcom world where solutions to all problems can be found within 30 minutes. This means that I'm probably living in my car for a hilarious and very fixable reason (like I'm too stubborn to admit that a clown lamp given to me as a housewarming gift scares me... or something, I haven't put too much thought into it).

So recently, I pulled into work and happened to park next to my boss.... then I realized that I had a pillow, a sleeping bag and a waffle iron in the backseat from a recent trip to Lethbridge (don't ask me why I needed a waffle iron, I just did). Then I realized if my boss walked past my car and they may get the impression that I am sleeping in my car (which I'm not... well I mean sometimes I have car naps but I have a bed in a house).

Then I realized I also had a pack of ham in my backpack. It could be because I get hungry at work.... or because while I can technically fit a fridge in my station wagon, it's not really an economical choice. We'll never know (we do know, Mom I promise I am not living out of my car).

Then I realized sometimes I eat my dinner sitting in a parking lot. It could be because I'm running from one job to the next or because I can't wait until I get home to eat or I just like the peace and quiet or because my car is also my kitchen.... we'll never know (Mom, again, we do know).

Finally, I realized that if I am not being productive enough at home. I will drive somewhere far away where the internet can't reach me and sit in my car to work on things. It could be because I need a small confined space with lots of natural light to focus... or because my car is my office. We'll never know (Mom... we really do know).

As many of you know, I love my car. Sure, one of the door panels is sitting on my backseat and one of my windows is currently being held up by paracord (although, I like to think of it as being hoisted like a mainsail).

This is after hours of trying to find a logical solution this problem,

My car has been a constant in my life for the past two years, no matter where I'm living my car is a little piece of home that comes with me. That being said, I AM NOT LIVING IN IT OK? SO DON'T CALL ME ABOUT THIS POST LATER.

That is all.
