Time to think, time to ponder, time to sit in the midst of the cemetery of my childhood that I once again have reclaimed as my escape from humankind...

I know one day I shall go, leaving the world far behind me both figuratively and literally...

First escape shall be leaving all that is this area and all that it has become. There is nothing holding me here. Indeed I shall miss my children though they have grown and for the most part, started their lives as adults. I have spent the last four years working on what I require for this escape, testing, experimenting, discovering what the bare minimum I need to live a life that I can tolerate. I have found the amount of clothing I possess will be adequate for my needs and if I do laundry once every three weeks I can manage a few years without the need to replace anything. I can feed myself for $30 per week. Personal hygiene items at approximately the same amount per month. Two points that I must overcome at this moment are having my car paid off in full and a new cellular communication device. Once the car is paid for, it shall be time for a new phone...

At $100 per week I can survive reasonably well. And I could possibly bounce around from campsites and rest stops to clean myself and do the occasional laundry...

Being I have a vast array of careers I have held over the years, I am confident that I could do something if I needed emergency funding...

These are my thoughts as I sit gazing out upon a sea of marble that conceals the remains of my ancestors...
