Today is the day I move into my second Airbnb.

After the disaster of my first Airbnb, my dog and I have been at an extended stay hotel for the last two nights.

The room was like a studio apartment. I truly believe my years of struggle and poverty make me more adept at rolling with the punches. I’ve definitely had apartments with smaller living spaces than this. In unsafe neighborhoods.

I have walked the dog this morning, and now we are relaxing until our late checkout. When we arrive at the new town, we are going to go on a long walk through a local park. By then, it will be time to check in at my Airbnb.

I also spent my life moving frequently as an Air Force brat. So I can pack and go with the best of them.

Here’s hoping that today’s space will be where we stay for the remainder of the nursing contract. I work all weekend at a very busy hospital, and it will be good to know the dog and I have a safe, comfortable place to call our temporary home.

This travel nurse has already had some unexpected bumps in the road, and explored some interesting places.

Time to focus on the job – patient care begins again tomorrow!
