Day one: 800 miles, Toledo, Ohio. Super 8 motel. Awesome for 40 bucks.
Day two: roughly 800 miles, Seward, Nebraska. Super 8 motel, no coupon, alright, whatever for 60 bucks.

Now it is day three. I am shooting for a thousand so tomorrow will be a shorter day. Then I will land at my girlfriend's house!!!! 
I'm a bit wiped. I'm having a hard time getting everything I need as far as nutrients go, and I can feel my body being taxed. Muscles are sore that should not be sore.
I need to get on the road, but I have to mention this one thing. My nose being this in tune is WILD.I took a hotel book from a rest area that smelled strongly of disinfectant. An hour later, when I picked it up, the disinfectant smell took over my car. When I pee or poop, I can smell the food I ate. WTF?? Like, my pee smelled like beef jerky yesterday. I wonder if it because that smell, of the jerky in the package, is not actually the jerky but an artificial smell they put on it. I can smell dead things on the road before I pass them. I could smell our particualr meal being cooked at the restaraunt the other day. Anyway... My body is a cool place to be right now. Being this aware of everything is very weird. And I thought my nose was sensitive after I quit smoking!
 That's all for now. I have some huge states to drive through today. Namely, Nebraska and Wyoming. I can do this. I'm gonna make I-80 choke on my dick.
Yes. I just wrote that.

Here is a picture of everything I own. xoxo

The nausea and super-smelling power supposedly is an evolutionary thing to save pregnant people from getting poisoned. It's a superpower!!

As a non-pregnant person with food sensitivities, I've become aware over the years of my own terrible terrible version of that superpower. superpower.
It's terrible.
I wish I didn't have it.

Are you ready? (It's definitely TMI.)

ok.

I can smell what people have eaten based on what poo smell they leave behind. Eg - beef or chicken, spinach, pizza, curried spices, beets, mcdonalds, etc.
Unfortunately, this extends to STRANGERS IN RESTROOMS or... COWORKERS!!! And I am quite confident that my nose is telling me how well they are actually digesting their food. If it's well digested, there is less identifiable smell.

It is a terrible terrible superpower.
(However, it's mildly fascinating when it's just me in the loo and the smell is only mine.)

Oh my god, what a CURSE! That is awful. I am already doing things that are creeping out the Brute a little, like smelling things before they appear and tasting what she cooked in the cast iron days before I got here.
I must admit, it's creeping me out, too.
One thing I am realizing because of this is that I may need to chew my food better. Maybe that's why I'm not digesting so well. Again, TMI... but, well... That's how we roll, it seems. xoxo

Okay, are those back tires the same fucking ones from the junkyard outside of Flint on that dirt road? 'cause really... it just occured to me.

It was nice chatting with you. Drive safe and eat a green thing that is not "green salad" (pistacio pudding, green jello, cool whip, pineapple).

No, those are not the same tires! But they are the same wheels, and when I had to get new tires it was such a pain in the ass again!! Because they are a different size, remember? Oh my god. You were a nice girlfriend to go off into the wilds of flint michigan to get those godforsaken tires.
And, ew. Green salad. Or orange salad. Or... anything jello.
