Road Food

From Janie:

Monday, October 22.  From Memphis TN to Oxford MS.

With all the road food we've eaten in the last two months, it's a wonder this hasn't happened before.  I had a day of feeling really crappy.  Mild food poisoning crappy. 

Spent part of the morning sleeping in the car.  Spent more of it looking out the window at the kudzu, which is clearly trying to overgrow the entire state.  Rode about 45 minutes this afternoon, which was all I could manage today. 

There are three stuffed lions (taxidermy not toys) in glass cases in the lobby of the hotel where we're staying.  It's a Hampton Inn, so we weren't expecting anything so exotic.  Interesting in a weird kinda way.  Even more interesting trying to check in - they had us booked for November 22.  Lucky for us, they also had rooms available tonight.  Had we been here a day earlier, we would have been out looking for rooms elsewhere. 

We got to our room, and I went to bed.  Jody did laundry. I feel better tonight, expect to feel fine in the morning.  And so it goes . . . another day on the road.

I'm a lucky woman.
