I think my motivation at the moment is spring break (for me at the college, not for my kids, there's isn't until Easter.) I had my first exam for stats today... I'm pretty sure it was easy and that I got an A, either that or it was deceptively difficult, but either way, I DON'T love math, so between the test anxiety for that and the wind keeping me up half the night and the physical strain from all the walking the last few days, I am just burnt-out today! Like not at all sleepy, but just TIRED... I just had a high-carb/high-calorie/high nutrient lunch, so I'm hoping that will help... if not, there's always booze!!! ;P
But I am still planning my getaway to the trail for spring break, and it's a lot of fun doing the research. I'm about 85% there, I think... like if I had everything on my list ready to go and I drove out tomorrow, it would be fine... but we're Dis-ers, we all know that "fine" isn't good enough!!!
I'm hoping my trail passport will arrive soon (should be any day now.) The "real" trail passport is just a thing where hikers get stamps from businesses and hostels along their way. Mine is a little different, it's how you document that you walked in all 14 states for the challenge I'm doing, but they said it still has places for trail stamps, so I'm excited to see what it looks like. Once I have that, I can start, and I'm hoping to do the WV/Harper's Ferry walk this Friday. (That's the "emotional midpoint" of the trail, and it's where a lot of people start, so it seems right... ) It's only about 90 minutes from here, so I can day-trip it as long as H stay home to look after the kids.
But for now, I intend to sit here, zone out, watch the trees dance in the windy sunshine from the comfort of my cozy living room, and appreciate NOT being outside!
