First snowfall in minivan

It's the first snowfall staying in this van. Started after I showed at the gym and went to a grocery store to see if they had something sugar free cheap to drink- they had buy one, get two free on A&W sugar free rootbeer. It was just a slight anow when I first went in, increased in size, and then was hugh snowflakes once I got to tonights location.

It's 33°F and I'm doing fine in the back in teeshirt and shorts, unheated. I'm not ready yet to bust out the 20°F sleeping bag.

I gave out one of the four big blankets I bought to a homeless guy earlier. He was doing pretty bad. Going to play Total War: Medieval II and then get some sleep, have work tomorrow. If the guy who sleeps in his car nearby stops playing stuoid 80s music. I don't know why he does that. He's playing "These Dreams" on repeat loud.

What do you do for showers or bathroom breaks?
@SumKindaMunster I use subscription services like Planet Fitness and Panera Bread. Planet Fitness used to be 24 hours, 7 days a week bjt most are not anymore. Panera Bread allows for unlimited drinks.

I also can pee in whatever and dump it, and have a folding toilet seat in the back you attach garbage bags to if I really have a emergency.

@Dignaga That's very resourceful. Certainly cheaper than paying rent. Are you content with this situation? I'm curious how you feel about it.
@SumKindaMunster I used to be a Cynic Philosopher. It's nicer inside than a barrel, so I'm feeling a bit decadent with all my luxuries.

Where I am parked before work, the guy I gave the blanket to is sleeping in the snow. I wouldn't be aware of when to give and when to withold such aid unless I was in it myself. I'm just in a very luxurious position compared to him as I slept in a bed last night warm. I shower in a tiled or marble shower, and I get regular paychecks.

@Dignaga That's a good attitude, be grateful for what you have, because there are others out there who have less.

Still, how long would you want to do this?

Do you want to be in your 70's still living in a van?
@SumKindaMunster If I live that long. If I find a woman I might settle down, but otherwise the idea of living in a stationary house seems really weird and fetishy to me.

@Dignaga Thanks for talking to me. I wish you the best of luck and tip my hat to your charity for your fellow man.
