As promised, we are very unexciting at the moment.
We are currently outside of San Antonio in the middle of f**king nowhere, where it will be raining all day tomorrow. And that sounds like a bad thing, but given the world right now we think some day drinking sitting under the awning and watching the rain sounds pretty good. We’re thinking of just mainlining a speedball of vodka, rum, beer, and wine. At this point? F**k it.
We’ve been wanting to try and put harnesses on the cats so we can leash them up outside… mostly just for our own sadistic amusement. So maybe some stupid cat videos tomorrow, we’ll see.
And I also haven’t shaved in like… two months? Whereas most men would have a full ass beard and be looking f**king lumberjack by this point, my stupid half Puerto Rican face just looks… sad. It makes me look sad, and it makes the people who look at me sad and I don’t want to make people sad anymore. So I’ll maybe figure that out tomorrow as well.
Our time in Houston was purposefully non-eventful. We got carry-out BBQ and went for a hike.
Aaaaaand that’s it.
We probably interacted with about three people, and we’re okay with that. For two über introverts like us, this social distancing thing is a piece of cake.
(Hell yeah dropping umlauts like whaaaaaaa!?!?!?!?!?)
It’s just absolutely crazy the timing of all of this. This all blew up after we left, so trying to gauge what our normal life would have been in CO just hurts our heads. We watch the news when we have it in the camper, and we can read the stories online, but we honestly have no idea what’s happening in the real world. Like, are there tumbleweeds rolling down the streets and stuff? Outside of truck stops and RV parks, we haven’t seen much this week.
We’re just slowly watching this exponential graph get taller and taller along with all of you, and we can’t help but worry about… well everyone. The worst that could happen to us (outside of us or someone close to us getting sick, obviously) is having to cancel our travel and just hunker down in one place. Oh the horror, having to stay in a beautiful location going on hikes and outdoor adventures on a daily basis with the person you love. Gross.
But a lot of the people we care about are going to have much harder times ahead. Slowly but surely, this thing is creeping beyond small nuisances to “OH S**T” territory. And it’s this pervasive thought no matter where we go or what we’re doing.
Point is… we think about you guys every day, and we just hope you’re all okay. Honestly. And not even just friends and family reading this. All of you. Please be okay, please be safe. You’ll get through this.
We’ll get through this.
