Clothes storage in an RV - YouLookFab Forum

I'm back in the RV, after I swore off RV life for good. It's cold in winter and an oven in spring (I'm trying not to think about summer, maybe by then I'll be in an apartment). It's cramped, the stove is the size of a postage stamp, the fridge is tiny compared to what I had in my ex-house...

In spite of all that BS, tonight I am content. It has been a couple of days of solutions. The handyman fixed my door so I can secure my abode. I have been the recipient of the most amazing outpouring of support, hugs, and love from so many people and the women have really come through for me like whoa. I have made new friends. I have attended some unbelievably good 12 step meetings. I have snuggled with my little Mollie (when she would stop barking at the neighborhood cats). And I have enough.

Enough food to eat, enough diesel in my tank, enough medicine to get me till payday, enough sadness to appreciate the happiness, and enough room to store my clothes and shoes. Ok, so the shoes might be a problem, but it's shoes so it's ok LOL

I lived in this RV for 8 years, and it sucked to try and pick an outfit in this thing. Sunshine got the better storage area, pic 1. I got all the scattered little cubbies. I have all this storage for my clothes now, and it's weird not having to share the closet space. My coats are hanging in a closet instead of over the driver's seat. I have an entire hanging cabinet devoted to nothing but sleeveless tops. One cabinet for jeans. One cabinet for sweaters. A cabinet for my handbags and laptop, and yes I keep all these things in the bedroom with me while I sleep since Doc robbed me. I have the use of both nightstands.

I don't know how to act with so much storage. I have room to spare. I could buy new clothes, but i have no desire for any new clothes. I'm actually content with my wardrobe at the moment. This is a frightening thing. This is strange days indeed. Cindy doesn't want new clothes or new shoes? Has the earth stopped spinning on its axis?

Just wanted to share my moment with you guys. Yes, it is a pain to have to reach into so many compartments to make outfit, but all of them are all mine and there is extra space for more if I DID want more.

Have a beautiful night

Thank you for sharing pictures and thoughts - you are an amazing woman! You are brave and strong.
I see a dreamcatcher on the wall in your RV - let it catch all the bad things that are hanging over you and bring hope, energy and good luck in your life. Hugs. Sending love and peace to you.

Being on your own can be liberating and exhilarating. You now have the opportunity to plan your own future. It's important to take time to consider all options. You are a gifted writer and may want to explore that. Whatever you choose, make it something that makes you happy.

Is it not strange that contentment can come from the oddest things - or nothing at all? It’s a gift and the only thing you can do is take it on faith. It has no reason.

...and btw, I see you do the window screen trick for winterising your RV. I once went down a Pinterest rabbit hole and watched videos on the whole matter. How to measure and cut, etc. etc. Lol. It was the first thing I thought of when you mentioned it being cold in winter... haha!

Cindy, I’m so sorry you were tricked and robbed. Please take this time to be kind to yourself and enjoy the newfound quiet and space to help ease you into the next phase of your life. I’m sure it’s an emotional roller coaster, but I hope this time of freedom brings you more peace and joy. It’s your time to take care of you! And of course Mollie — our pets are truly best friends at times like these.

Cindy, you are always an inspiration. Strength in the face of adversity--it may sound like a cliche, but to me, you embody this concept. I love how you write, "I have enough. . . ." You are a wonderful writer. I'm so glad you have an opportunity--and are taking it--to pursue this talent. Thanks for sharing your journey.
