C drove almost all of yesterday&#8217;s much longer leg. But I am a little tired now. Let me catalog how I felt when when we stopped (most of this was typed waiting for checking into the hotel and then waiting for dinner).<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>My eyes feel like they went to the beach and rolled around in the sand without me.\u00a0Then they were put back in with an air gun to dry them out.<\/li>\n<li>My eyelids are so heavy that every blink is an ever-increasingly-difficult effort of will. It made driving the last ten miles very difficult.<\/li>\n<li>My lips tingle with sunburn and I think I&#8217;m glad I can&#8217;t feel the tip of my nose.<\/li>\n<li>My fingers are tired both of gripping the steering wheel and tired of dangling limply from it.<\/li>\n<li>My ankle is tired as though my foot was really made of lead. The cruise control only helps so much and it was not enough.<\/li>\n<li>There is a muscle in my lower right back that has been threatening to cramp for the last hour. I think I can stretch it if I turn&#8230; aaaaaaah!!! not that way, no, don&#8217;t turn that way. That way leads to cramping.<\/li>\n<li>My insides are so jostled my pancreas thinks it is my kidney and does not know how to do its new job.<\/li>\n<li>My throat is so dry, I expect a tumbleweed to tumble out of my mouth. And yet my bladder is so full the it is going to be a disaster soon. How is this dichotomy possible?<\/li>\n<li>My sinuses are so full of dirt and pollen from unknown plants, they don&#8217;t know whether to be stuffy or leathery dry, mirroring my windburned cheeks. So each one has done something different.<\/li>\n<li>My hip hurts (though, really, not as much as I expected so this one is kind of a win).<\/li>\n<li>My butt, though, oh, that doesn&#8217;t bear thinking about. Maybe if I don&#8217;t think about it the pain will go away. I may never sit down again. Certainly, I&#8217;ll need a tailbone transplant before we go on.<\/li>\n<li>Even my hair feels tired.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A beer and some dinner and I already feel better. A quick shower before bed and I&#8217;ll be fine tomorrow. I hope. I suspect we&#8217;ll be sharing the driving duties from now on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I ended up driving the whole day today.
