					<description><![CDATA[The monkeywrench moments chain. That’s the thing I’ve been thinking about lately. Not the Monkeywrench Moments themselves — I’ve written about those — but how each one made the next one conceivable. The Philippines venture depended on having already done the nomadic RV life. The RV life grew directly out of the AT thru-hike.

					<description><![CDATA[Okay, this&#8217;ll be a short one. It&#8217;s 2023 already, what the heck happened to 2022? A lot happened in 2022. At the same time, not much happened in 2022. I tried to settle down here in northeast Tennessee. I rented an apartment. I bought some furniture. I traded in the AdventureMobile on a travel trailer. &#8230; <a href="https://monkeywrenchyourlife.com/2023/01/02/its-2023-already/" class="more-link">Continue reading<span class="screen-reader-text"> "It&#8217;s 2023 Already?"</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In my last post, back in September, I talked about my yearning to settle down. As it turns out, that wasn&#8217;t just idle talk.  I&#8217;ve slowly come to realize my discontent with nomadic life comes from a pretty deep-seated loneliness. As a deeply introverted person, it takes me a very long time to make friends. &#8230; <a href="https://monkeywrenchyourlife.com/2022/01/01/new-year-new-life/" class="more-link">Continue reading<span class="screen-reader-text"> "New Year, New Life?"</span></a>]]></description>

Probably somewhat uniquely, I didn&#8217;t know that&#8217;s what I was doing.  I had taken the AdventureMobile to the local state park campground and was expecting my now-ex to join me in a few days once she finished some &#8230; <a href="https://monkeywrenchyourlife.com/2018/08/30/happy-nomadversary-to-me/" class="more-link">Continue reading<span class="screen-reader-text"> "Happy Nomadversary To Me!"</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Monkeywrench your life. What does that mean? According to Merriam-Webster, a Monkey Wrench is: 1: a wrench with one fixed and one adjustable jaw at right angles to a straight handle 2: something that disrupts  It&#8217;s the second definition I have in mind; something that disrupts. And yes, I know it&#8217;s weird that I write monkeywrench as &#8230; <a href="https://monkeywrenchyourlife.com/2018/07/03/monkeywrench-your-life/" class="more-link">Continue reading<span class="screen-reader-text"> "Monkeywrench Your Life?"</span></a>]]></description>
