Congratulations on a full year of every week! For someone who is phobic of any kind of commitment (with the exception you are well aware of), that is a stunning thing, that kind of consistency.
My one comment about van life is that -- and I know you know this -- the majority of people live that way aren't doing it because they wouldn't like to have a more permanent and larger home. They're doing it because they can't afford one in our housing market (I have several friends like this) and because they are who they are, they turn it into an adventure. I suspect they are they are the majority, and the people who are doing it even though they have better options are the exceptions.
To me, a year is okay but not extraordinary mostly because I've done it before when I started the EveryLibrary Medium magazine. In the big picture, the consistency is not as meaningful to me as continuing to keep things fresh. When I feel like I'm repeating myself that's when it'll be time to stop.

There's a really good book about this called Nomadland that paints the picture in vivid detail. It's a good and sobering read, if you're interested. https://www.amazon.com/Nomadland-Surviving-America-Twenty-First-Century/

And thanks for the book rec. I'll check it out.
A wise policy also in play with the Fabs.
Congrats on your preschool performance extravaganza! The thrill is a heady drug!
