Except for that, it&#8217;s now all about learning in an actual vehicle, something I&#8217;m terribly nervous about. Lori gave me a very sweet lesson in her pick-up truck when she was in town last week, out in a parking lot along Spanish Banks, one of the most beautiful spots in Vancouver. It was nice to see her, nice to be a student, nice to be out of my apartment. She was remarkably patient, and though she says I did great, I&#8217;m still mourning the imaginary bumper I clipped while practicing parking. <\/p>\n<p>In other news, my quest to list <a href=\"http:\/\/minimalfox.wordpress.com\/sale-listings\/\">everything I own for sale<\/a> seems to be going well. Not only have people been putting dibs on my books, I&#8217;ve been getting a positive reaction from my Craigslist ads too. I can&#8217;t overstate how good I feel about this. I didn&#8217;t start this project to get rich, after all, but to find some relief. My debts are intense, ravenous things with sharp, horrible teeth, and any extra five dollars I can conjure to feed them makes my life better. Once they are gone, I&#8217;ll be able to save for myself, and maybe even, le gasp, go to school!<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow I plan on going through my mending box and seeing how much there is worth saving, as well as setting aside some time to actually fix what&#8217;s left. I&#8217;m also going to bring books to the post office to calculate shipping, return all of the household&#8217;s bottles and cans for bus-change, and maybe meet some friends for tea. Not the most thrilling plans, but enough, I think, to see me through a day without falling into unemployment depression.<\/p>\n<p>P.s. I have a bag of clothes to donate to charity, does anyone have a particular favourite?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>dance on thy red shoes, for Mark K Men and Women Entrepreneurs: Not That Different I only have one Young Drivers Of Canada classroom lesson left, on December 9th.
