Frescatas
I am safely tucked into a nice motel in New Mexico. I bought two "Black Forest Frescatas" (ham sandwiches) at Wendy's before I rented the room. Richard was dismayed that all I have eaten this trip is one ham sandwhich a day plus granola bars I brought with me.... so I bought two sandwiches. One for now and one for later.
Okay, I know that sounds sad, but when I am tired, I don't want to think about what to eat. I like ham and it's easy... I can get it at a drive through.
I also had a Frescata this afternoon. I had been pain free all trip but a headache pushed into my life at about two in the afternoon and I had to stop. I saw a Wendy's and bought the Frescata to take my pain pill with (I have to take it with food) then as God would have it, I saw a Wal-Mart. Perfect! I parked in the farthest corner of the lot, backing into the sun, and felt safe and comfortable to rest there and pray the pill overtook the pain before the pain overtook me.
Actually, I feel pretty safe to sleep anywhere, but I like some places better than others. Partking lots, mostly. Wal-Mart is at the top of my list, drive in food places and computer stores are next. My least favorite places are rest areas and side streets. Once, when I parked in a residential area in Berthoud, CO, I woke up with a curious man looking in my window.
I also don't like to sleep along the freeway onramps like you so often see truckers doing. I didn't like that even when I was driving truck. For one thing, there is no rest room nearby for when you wake up desperate to go.
But getting back to here and now... my headache is all gone, but as they often do, it left me drained, so I didn't make many miles today. I still have two more days to get there, so I should be all right. It's so nice to know that even though my brain is unreliable, my God is not. He knows where I am and watches over me 24/7. There is incredible peace and freedom in that!
