DEAR UNIVERSE,

You must be on speed dial today. 

Just bought a tent, 2 sleeping bags, an umbrella, a queensized blow-up bed, a hammer and a flashlight from the loveliest French couple in my hostel for $40.  Read it and weep my friends.  $40!  If I had bought it in a shop it would have been over $300.  They had used it to camp twice and don't want to be overweight when they fly back tomorrow... I saved them folks.  I did them a favor.

Not only that but my days of hard labor hell might be over soon.  Just replied to an ad for a housesitting gig in San Diego as of the 27th of September till the 9th of November... Yaaahoooeweee!  If I get it I can
  • come back from Burning Man on the 8th of September,
  • work at the Hostel for two more weeks till the 22nd, then
  • take the hostel shuttle down to LA for $25 to go and visit my friend Andre for a couple of days before
  • shuttling down to Ocean Beach, San Diego to babysit a beautiful cat and live in a duplex all by myself for 5 weeks.

Universe, make it happen.  Let it be so.  I will be the most greatful little South African in all of America.

Still your greatest fan.

Alice.

"And what does it live on?"
"Weak tea with cream in it."
A new difficulty came into Alice's head,
"Supposing it couldn't find any?" she suggested.
"Then it would die, ofcourse."
"But that must happen very often," Alice remarked thoughtfully.
"It always happens," said the Gnat.
