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
