Day 144, Thursday, July 5. Cobmin Ridge Motel, Branchville—Zero Day

Check out time is 11. We woke up at 10:30 (18 hours after falling asleep). We had told the owner we might sleep today. We have been planning to sleep for a day on one of our zeros.  Today is the day. 

The definition of necessity changes as we go

The place (Cobmin Ridge Motel) is kind of a dump. Bunny would drop the “kind of” in her description. Being a male, I’ve stayed in worse. There’s no seal around the door, the bathroom is stained from years (decades; centuries?) of abuse, and I don’t think the carpet has ever been introduced to a vacuum cleaner but there’s one thing the place doesn’t have and two it does. There are no bed bugs and it does have a TV and a very powerful AC. I’m happy.  Bunny didn’t start complaining until this afternoon, so she’s getting plenty of rest and becoming her old self again. 

A TV and a door that locks—kind of

After we woke up, we decided to shower. It’s usually best to not shower before you wake up. We went across the street for something to eat at the “Yellow Cottage Deli” not to be confused with the “Yellow Deli” of the Twelve Tribes. We aren’t joining yet, but we may move into the cottage.

After the long journey across the street and back, we came back for another nap. We watched a little news and the weather person is promising rain and storms for tomorrow which will usher in a new era of moderate temps for the next week.  We haven’t decided what time we will get up, but we are planning on taking advantage of the rain to get moving again.
