I count sheep, I count heartbeats

"Face down, I count sheep, I count heartbeats. The only thing that matters is that I won't sleep, I count down, I look around." Who Needs Sleep by the Barenaked Ladies.

I slept pathetically horrible last night. I was rarely asleep for more than an hour at a time. So nauturally, I was up and moving once it was light out.

One seems to have more motivation when town is what's waiting for you at the end of your day.

Today I had a rolling descent into Erwin, TN. There were many little ups and downs that eventually lead to a final dwescent into the outskirts of Erwin.

I spent today thinking about many different things. I thought about how everything was on the homefront, and tried to figure out how I want to live my life when this thing comes to an end.

I rolled into Erewin at 3:20PM, where I promptly checked into Uncle Johnny's Hostel, my home for the night.

After checking in, I hung up my tent so it could air out and I did some laundry.

I then gave my dad a call. He informed me that Sprint charges an arm and a leg for roaming calls. I spend a lot of time roaming because Sprint has a pathetic network down here. Verizon is the best network out here. Lesson learned. We hope to drop Sprint quickly and switch to Verizon.

I then received a ride to a Mexican restaurant for dinner. I also completed my resupply. My next resupply will be Kincora, 70 trail miles north.

I have not decided what I will do tomorrow, I have been too busy thinking about other things.

My mind is a mess, right now. Good night, and good luck.
