Sureal is the best way to say it.
Most of the drive was listening to The Power. Odd in a way, not sure I totally agree with the whole power is the only thing changing things but perhaps there’s more to it.
Life is strange - driving back here is stranger. The highways once I got north of Toledo became oddly familiar but only in glimpses.
The concrete road surfaces.
I’m tired - it is almost midnight.
window open, rain is falling, am going to try and sleep.
writing to summon the Zzzs perhaps…
more later perhaps
(later)
Eventually fell asleep, woke up at 6:15 to the sound of trains and highway, and rain, fell back asleep until 8:15 when i could feel the coffee headache brewing - been drinking coffee since - it is now 11:30 - showered and loaded with enough coffee to neurologically disable most normal humans (we’ll see how that pans out) heading out to get lunch here in a few, maybe tour around the old hood and stuff. See the old bike shop in the new spot.
It rained all night - still raining, might taper tonight enough to get in a spin out the legs ride before it gets dark. gonna just roll with it. Need to sort out the stuff into check point bags. Still debating the coffee solution. Perhaps maybe just make enough coffee. Tomorrow. Really just need 4 bottles worth of it. Maybe make it tonight and ice it and keep it cold. One bottle per check point. But then maybe I don’t need one at that 3rd check point, the last 50 are going to be late - coffee shouldn’t be needed but then we’ve gotta drive back at the end of the race, although if I plan for two bottles at/before the start - one to drink immediately after waking up the other to drink while making the way there and then the 3rd AM bottle on the cage. That should be a kick start enough to only need to replace the bottles through the day.

of course i’m worring about something stupid like coffee timing and amounts and how…
Guess that’s a good sign? Making sandwiches, now that’s another thing to overthink. Kind of thinking that loading the bread up with mustard and mayo will make it soggy but that’s not always the worst but then putting a layer on the turkey slices with the cheese against the bread.

time to head out for lunch - no more writing about food - time to go eat some.
