What a whirlwind of activity... I worked Monday, Tues, wed. stayed up well past 10pm packing and organizing for my trip Thursday. Woke up at 3am and took a cab to the airport for my 0545 flight to Pittsburgh.
Arrived in Pittsburgh at 1130 and I was off to an appointment. After my appt. I picked up a bud and we went to Chili's for lunch and a few beers. From there a quick stop at the market to pick up supplies for the road trip and back home for a few hours.
The plan was to hit Hambones for a farewell drink. Well, I overdid it. In fact the bill came and the two of us downed $115.00 worth of beer - ouch! But it was a special occasion. I will most likely never step foot in Pittsburgh again and there were many parts of the experience I enjoyed and I would miss. So an expensive beer soaked farewell was okay.
The price however did not stop at the $115.00! We walked home from the pub and I must have passed out and before you know it - morning arrived. With it a massive hangover! See, I had not been drinking much and oh I paid the price.
Nothing in this world can be as horrible as being horribly hung over and on a road trip with two dogs that covers 1500 miles. However, I had only myself to blame and it was time to suck it up and get going - which I did.
We left at 0900 and stopped for the night around 10pm. I travelled 800+ miles and we found a nice rest area. I had a van where all the seats were stoed and we make a little bed on the floor and me an the two dogs slept all cuddled up - just like in out bed back home.
I awoke around three and it was a bit cold out - plus some fucking yokels parked directly beside the van and discussed their shitty car for an hour before leaving. Of all the spots that they could have selected to park they had to park directly beside me. Figures.
So, day two found me feeling much better and we set off for the remaining 600+ miles. We finally arrived around 1pm. I walked the dogs in the complex and unloaded the van. Some 20 trips up and down three flights and I was literally exhausted! I made a little dinner and crashed!! I cannot believe all that took place in just three days.
Today, is a recovery day. Yes, I may still run this morning but will not do much else. I am gonna plant my ass on the sofa and me and the dogs will watch football until our eyes explode - sweet!
