Seven days with only my own thoughts! 2025 miles! 5 Cheap Hotels! I just want to sell my car and fly the rest of the way.
Just when I was feeling so happy to be out of Arkansas, I found myself negotiating three different I-40 splits in six lanes of traffic with my gas pump light flashing and I had to pee. Who knew Memphis was such a metropolis! I took the first exit after I was sure I was on I-40 East. There was a gas station, but it was a BP. What to do? I turned around in their parking lot and went the other direction. Another BP. Just when I'm about to give in I spy a SuperLo Station down the street. Hooray! It's probably BP too but at least I don't know that. There's only one thing to do after all the trauma. I stopped at Wendy's and had french fries and a frosty which are still laying heavy on my stomach.
I left the highway in Jackson, TN because I'm delirious. Luckily a Starbuck's appeared like a beacon of light in the darkness even though it's 3 or 4pm. I don't know what time zone I'm in. I'm regrouping here for a bit so I can make it to Nashville tonight. If I make it to Nashville, I know I'll arrive at Aly's tomorrow (Tuesday).
