My health was okay today. The weather wasn’t bad this morning. I just wasn’t ready. I needed one more day.

I woke up thinking I was going to head out, but after getting some necessary tasks done and beginning to really get all packed up, I realized it was way too late to be rushing to get out the door. I don’t want any more stress; I want to be completely relaxed as I begin this next journey. It is going to be a long one, and there is no point getting it started with anxiety and unnecessary haste.

So I took today to get some work done. My front bags needed some patching, as they have become a bit worn from the trek so far. I got some computer work done, something I have been putting off for a while. I also got some extra time to spend with my grandparents. I gotta say that it was tough leaving their place today, knowing that this may be the last time I ever see them. I hope that isn’t the case, but my heart was heavy as I biked away.

Tomorrow, now, will be the day. I can feel it. I think the weather is going to be worse tomorrow, but that’s okay. I got the rain gear now to keep me dry.

Good night.
