Today was finally a warm day. The past few weeks there has been sun, but the winds were so strong that it's been too cold for me to be outside very much. It looks like tomorrow will be even warmer. Ever since I got my 12 pounds of fresh, organic dates I have been eating little else. Sometimes I eat up to two pounds a day. They're very soft and Rowenna says they taste just like buttery cake batter. Only they have no fat and taste so much better to me than a pasty white cake. I've also been eating avocados for the first time in almost 6 months. I've eaten the odd one here and there, but lately I've been eating at least 2 per day. I know they're not good to eat in those quantities, but the price per calorie has been lower than other fruits so I'm just trying to get by. They make me feel nauseous and really tired though. I can't wait to spend weeks eating nothing but watermelon once they're good and cheap. I love how I feel eating only juicy fruits.
My website is just about ready to go as far as content, but I still need to figure out how to work with SEO and local advertising. I'm still hopeful that it will take off, but I'm trying to work out other options to make money this summer. I really want to work at a fruit farm, but Rowenna isn't very enthusiastic about driving me so I'm hoping to find one that will provide accommodations or at least let me pitch a tent.
If I manage to save up a bit of money I can be off for South America or Mexico this fall. If I do house sitting or camping, or anything with free accommodation I can live for very little and stay all winter. Round trip flight will be about $600, and food for 6 months will be about another $600, but those will be pretty much the only expenses. I'll feel pretty comfortable if I leave with $2000 and I think it's possible to make that this summer if I work really hard.
