We didn’t sleep much last night (Best Western Rio Grande in Albuquerque, I do not<\/strong> like you). And you may remember that C didn’t sleep too well the night before.<\/p>\n

Thus, we are pretty tired. Forgive me if I’ve lost what little coherency I had.<\/p>\n

Today was a pretty hard day, the view was relatively monotonous, at least it was in Texas. Oklahoma is pretty, especially the new green grass on the red soil, a nice contrast. But nothing like the Painted Desert.<\/p>\n

Oklahoma is the first state we are in that I’ve never been to. Well, I didn’t set foot in Texas since that was just an airport layover. So maybe that was first, depending on the rules. Both are crossed off now.<\/p>\n

I thought Oklahoma seemed like the biggest lawn ever. Then C said they were actually farming sod. The conversation today has not been stimulating.<\/p>\n

Anyway, eight hours of driving is more than is comfortable. And I am not getting any work done. I was supposed to write an article, create an ad for my book, and work on that list of more technical blog posts. Oh, and I promised weeks ago to write a post for another blog.<\/p>\n

I think the radar detector may be what is keeping us awake. <\/p>\n

Oklahoma City has a Whole Foods. I tried to find a hotel near it but ended up several miles away. Still, stocking up on animal cookies should help a lot. And sleeping, that would help even more.<\/p>\n

The problem with getting so tired is the difficulty of rebuilding the reserves. Once we get tired, it is hard to get untired. I think we need two consecutive good nights of sleep to make up for a bad one. Unless we get that, we’ll keep digging the hole deeper. Poor food and hotel choices happen because we are tired.
