I'm not feeling particularly "on form" today, so will try and take it easy, and keep stress to a minimum. I think the prep for this trip may be more stressful than I imagined it would be, and that is very definitely having a negative effect on me. So ...
Factors that mean I don't need to be stressing or worrying about any of this ...
1. The actual routes are complete, only some stop cataloging still needs work on. If I don't do that, it doesn't matter because I can pull up stops from the various apps, and just text Nick Lat/Long instead of a stop number.
2. It doesn't really matter if we are ready or not on Friday. All that really needs to be done is put clothing in the van, cos I can buy anything else along the way. Of course Nick's bike stuff also needs to go in, but I never get involved with that anyway.
3. It doesn't matter if we don't actually even do this thing, or don't stick to the estimated schedules or anything. We can bail and just holiday at any point.
4. I shall point blank refuse to get on the cross-trainer at rehab on Tuesday, because the pain in my left hip and shoulder is enough that I'm concerned that I can't drive properly. Its improving, but will be really bad if I let them put me on it again on Tuesday.
OK ... so ... strategy in place. Breathing and relax, breathe and relax.
Today, I shall spend some time on my waypoint spreadsheet, and after today, not look at it at all, whether it is finished or not.
