1000 Day Plan

I'm starting to grok that this adventure is going to require much more preparation than I had anticipated. A web friend who is a fulltime RVer sent me a copy of her "1000 Day Plan" which is what they used to prepare for going on the road. It was quite intimidating. It was in spreadsheet form and consisted of 10 categories with each one having multiple sub-categories and had a plethora of points that I had not thought of. These were the categories:

Truck tasks (for us, this would be van tasks)
Medical
Residency
Securing Data
Finances
Retirement Data (not sure if this would apply for us)
Living Local
Asset Disposal
RV Organizations
Residual Tasks

Some of the things I had not yet thought of but seem necessary are: Advanced directive and medical POA, first aid information, healthcare, and residency. Well, maybe I thought of residency as its an important part of travel nursing. This kinda takes the fun out of it - its infinitely more enjoyable to play on etsy and daydream about mountain tops than it is to fill out paperwork. Alas, it is required if I want to make those mountaintops a reality. I will begin the slogging.

Meanwhile, I realized this morning that while doing all the etsy stuff is fun, I really needed to get going on the nursing stuff. I began the long, arduous, mindnumbing task of filling out an agency nursing application. I loathe looking for jobs. In fact, that is one of the things I liked best about working agency - once I did all the paperwork in one city, I could go to that agency in any city and they could just pull up my stats and send me out on a job. Job with a phone call - that's what I like. That is what I'll have again but I just have to do that initial work.

This is all too serious and I had to go out to a bead sale to recover. 40% off and I can rationalize it by saying that they are small and can be used to make things to sell. A girl must have her fun.
