Three Small Things I Have Learned
One: leave early.
Two: pack up the night before.
Three: when Schering-Plough HealthCare Products put the words "Won't clog pores or cause breakouts" on tubes of their Coppertone Oil Free SPF 45 Sunblock Lotion, they were lying.
Tomorrow will be a very light riding day - just fifteen miles to an Americamps campground in Ashland. I really can't afford to stay in hotels like this...more than half of the house proceeds are going to pay off other debt, so I need to start economizing immediately.
I've still got work to do on my animation and tech writing projects, but I just couldn't focus today as my body recovered from the first three days of riding and built some new leg muscle from the protein I paid too much for at local restaurants. It seems like the best thing to do now is make a short run to the campground, arriving early enough in the day to set up the laptop and solar panels so that I'll have enough battery juice left to work after dark if I need to.
So I'll enjoy my last night in the big fluffy bed, and tomorrow morning I'll scarf up a bunch of free, carbo-laden Continental Breakfast before I head out.
