Well, the day went much better than I had thought it would! So the long day is out of the way now! I was still functioning pretty well when I got in and got everything into the room, but decided I'm too tired to go out to get dinner (missed happy hour), so I'm eating a soggy-but-still-good corned beef sandwich I made yesterday morning, and a few containers of yogurt that I brought along for the trip. And you know, it's just right! And I didn't have to go anywhere!
Punkin did better today. She drank some water last night, and has been drinking a reasonable amount today. And she got her appetite back today. She had been just eating a few crunchies, but at one rest stop she was eating like she was hungry, so I opened a fresh can of her preferred flavor of food, and she ate a good amount of that. So she's doing well. She is hiding under the covers at the moment.
I made notes today at each rest stop of the things I want to write about, but I don't think I could do them justice tonight. I'll catch you up on the trip experiences after I get to Dad's, but here's tomorrow's route information:
Sunday will be my shortest day - 350 miles, estimated at 5 hours and 37 minutes. I'll be on I-64 the whole way to Grayson, at the eastern side of Kentucky. And my room is supposed to come with a whirlpool tub! Definitely soaking tomorrow night!
Monday I'll have a choice to make. There's a long stretch of toll road that I was planning to avoid, but the alternatives look like a lot of work without having someone to navigate. I was on a toll road for a while today, and it was nice and only cost $2.50 for the whole way (take THAT, E-470!)! So I'll do a little research tonight, and if you have any advice I'd appreciate it. The stretch is in West Virginia, from Charleston down through Beckley on I-77.
And I will write about the trip itself - as I said, I'm making notes so I don't forget!
Catch you later -
Linda
