ZERO mi, NONE gain, 55-85F/cloudy
Honestly wasn’t going to write a rest day blog. But here I am, sitting in the room with an extra hour because I completely missed the part about starting an hour later today. I’m SO early, might the first time in my life I’m this early.
Rest day was needed. I got up, ate a late breakfast around 9am. I grabbed a bagel and cream cheese from the buffet for lunch so I could just relax in my room. I reorganized my bags, tried to throw things out as I’ve replaced them with my shipment. I hope I’m not too over weight, as I use shampoo, conditioner, food, nuun, etc my bag gets lighter. After restock I’m the heaviest. Going to ask my brother to pass a few items to him if I get to see him in a few days in Champaign.
I did some yoga in the room and took a bath with the epsom salts I got from Walmart. If the throught of bath in hotel makes you uneasy.. here my trick: I put a towel in the bottom to sit on. Yes it soaks a towel, but I consider it safer this way. I mean I swim in questionable places when I hike, I think a towel in a cleaned bathtub is well within my realm of ok. Ha! Plus it really helps me to heat up, then stretch. I was a little more sore this past 9 day stretch than I have been. Things this morning should shake out.
I accidentally fell asleep watching tv. I think my body just said, ok rest. I woke up almost 2 hours later a little out of it. I walked to grab food for dinner, then came back and toned my hair with supplies I shipped to myself. Had a nighttime tea and called it good.
Side note, before I passed out nap style I bought a drone on Amazon! It will be waiting for me in St. Joseph, MO. I’ve always wanted one for instagram shots, this one I got on sale. If it’s too much to bother with, I’ll pass it off to Eric to play with while I finish out the trip. Ha!
Ok, successfully waisted some 20 minutes. Time to line up.
