Urban Camping

So, I actually enjoy camping. Well at least I did when I was a kid and into my early 20’s (that was the last time I camped). These days I may feel differently now that I have the most comfortable bed on the planet and go to Dr. Ken Gee Ehrlich the most amazing Chiropractor in the world. I am not sure how my body would take it, but if I took an air mattress and had running water nearby (always a requirement) I might still be up for a camping trip.

But camping in my apartment - every day? Now that is another story all together! The thing is, I bought a refrigerator from Sears a few years back and it has been nothing but trouble. It has stopped working over 17 times and Sears sunk over $3,500 in parts, which includes 6 compressors, and who knows about the cost of labor.

Finally, just before the New Years, Sears approved a replacement. It took lucky number 17 repairman to decide that it was not worth it for them to keep replacing parts. What is truly amazing is that I have actually grown accustomed to not having a refrigerator! I know how to survive on fresh fruits, vegetables and “just add water” foods.

Last spring, Josh (my ex-boyfriend) banished my microwave claiming that it caused cancer. And when the weather changed a few weeks back and I tried to put the heat on it failed to work. The gas company came out and turned off the gas, as it was a hazard to my health. I am waiting on my landlord to get someone out to repair it.

Basically, I have been camping in my own home.

If the water stops working I am heading into the yard, at least there I have a fire pit and a fountain.
