Now I'm terrified... I am quite a few (hundred) miles over my limit for an oil change, and I just read this, a link found through billy. Oy. That may scare me out of going for another hundred miles. (Actually my laziness will do that, but fear is a good excuse)
The first person I visited on my nation-wide tour is now hitting the road herself! How exciting is that? I am an inspiration! Of course, I probably scare off as many people with my rants. And I don't even tell you the worst bits, the bits that I am so ashamed of they will never pass my lips or my fingers.
I was researching my lists for her today, and feeling antsy. Yesterday I was highlighting my maps with my trip so far, and feeling antsy. The day before I was awake, and feeling antsy. I want to get moving again! There is so much to see, and so little time! I know, I'm young, I have all the time in the world... but I'm tired. I want to go home. At the same time, there is so much stuff I haven't seen! There's a Best Western in Colorado that backs up against a drive-in movie theater. You can lie in bed at a drive-in! Then there's the Salt Palace in Texas, the underwater main street in Tennesee... I just don't know that I can see it all.
Oh lord, I'm making myself hyperventilate. Relax, inhale, exhale. Whoosh. Que sera, sera. If I don't make it on this trip, I can come back on a mini-trip. And on the way back, I'll have plenty of time and credit card potential debt. See, I've been saving them. I knew I would feel like this by the end, and any further delays would kill me. So my last bit will be big, non-stop, and debt-inducing. Don't worry, I'll keep it down to reasonable levels.
And just think, you have a month more of these sedentary rants before I get moving again! How fun for you, my gentle readers.
Keep reading, it'll get better soon.
i think you need a couple of quizzes to take more serious concerns off of your mind.

Only one month left? Wow...what comes next, if I might ask?
And thanks for the kind words regarding my novelty nightmare!
Ugh, I am overdue for an oil change to...and a physical. ICK!

I know what that person was talking about what with the oil changes. My cousins now run one in Paso Robles, and I know for a fact that they are on the level, but a lot of other places.... well, no good no good no good.
I'd recommend talking to the nice people at your truck stops. If anyone would know where to get an honest oil change, they should. Or maybe they'll let you do it yourself there.
Good luck

But ya gotta pass through Austin on your way back home, right? If not, consider that you've got a free pass anytime. Let's see--music, nachos, mexican beer, three dachshunds--can I tempt you?

I like your rants. You're just keepin' it real...(that's right, I said keepin' it real.)
I am way past due for an oil change too...but it's, like, $19.95!I could spent that on yarn!
Where to next? Athens, Ga, right? :)

It's an annoying comment, I know, but for future reference the spelling is "Che sara, sara" (the last "a" of the sara has an accent over it)... I feel the same way you do about the whole time vs. stuff to see issue...haven't found a solution yet
