Only two more full days in Capesterre!

Eagle Gamma

Huh, this morning the old phone looks like it may not be working any more?

Yes, looks like it is! :)

It just had to do a system update that I'd started last night.

Jejej, they updated the weather forecast to now predicting rain practically every upcoming day other than Saturday!

I guess it's my lucky day! :)

I can understand why women sit so often. It probably feels more comfortable to sit when you've got a big butt! :)

Woah, weird. A bird's flying around in the kitchen, and the door's closed! I think it must have flown in through the bathroom window.

Jejej, bird knocked over an empty water bottle. I think the bird probably tried to land on it.

Poor bird's having trouble getting out. Like me! :)

I'd forgotten about the bird and went to make a coffee. The bird flew into glass windows on the door. Then into the bathroom. Then I wanted to go to the bathroom, thinking the bird had flown out the windows, but the bird's still there. Seems to be struggling to fly out of the bathroom window.

Bunch of nice weather days. Makes me wanna ride instead of staying inside!

Poor thing's terrified. I wanna go to the bathroom though! :)

My plan worked. I went to the bathroom with a towel to push the bird out, then it flew out the kitchen doors that I'd opened for it.

Seems like many phones only work in some countries (as far as mobile data goes). Makes it somewhat inconvenient. Ah well, guess I'll carry two phones for now, test 'em out.

Just working through some old checklists. Doing other tasks in preparation for the big ride!

Huh, more rain. Here's hoping that it doesn't rain or at least not too much on Saturday. At least I should have enough time if I just have to duck out of a short downpour.

Down to my last cup of coffee from the huge container I had! :)

Finally working through some of my old checklists for leaving Capesterre from like a year ago!!!!! :)

I'm struggling psychologically not to complain to myself. As much as it's a frustration to have to stay in one place when you want to travel, it's at least a decent place, plus I've done a bunch of valuable things while here. For all I know it may work out even better in the long term anyways.

Knocked off many of my items other than the last preparations right before going, and the ride itself! :)

At least things are starting to make some sense. Until this week or so I had a bunch of vague ideas, feelings, plans regarding leaving. Now I feel like things are roughly in shape to go.

Whew! Checking off even more of my higher-importance goals for leaving! :)

The unmanageable-seeming mess of leaving now seems more manageable, through managing! :)

I think my remaining tasks involve dumping as much more stuff as I can. Find a place to leave my extra books. Say bye to friends. Go! :)

Nice feeling to move your to-do items earlier instead of later! :)

Germans seem really good at computer programming! :)

Still getting rid of tons of stuff! How much stuff can one accumulate?!?!

Quarantine the politicians!

I feel like it's now a different game. Optimizing, minimizing mass & volume, instead of packing up.

Leaving in a couple of days! Still feels weird, but also like the "right" choice. I'm not doing much these days other than prepping and relaxing, so I may as well at least ride.

The food seems like the big thing that's overweight in my luggage. I could just leave it.

Can't believe the weather's shaping up ideally for riding! After all those rainy days when I felt under the weather anyways! :)

On the verge of a new adventure!

I feel great, if somewhat nervous.

Getting readerier to go. Nearly emptied the fridge.

I feel more like a stud when in travel mode! :)

A somewhat complicated process just to leave from a place you've settled into over a year.

Tons of small obstacles along the way, that's normal!

There isn't enough time to do everything, so just select what you care about deeply and do it! :)

Just left the books out in a public market. Also withdrew some cash, should be my last withdrawal in Capesterre.

A bit of weight at a time! Just like I'm on weight watchers! :)

Super hot out. I've felt these days like come South America I'll want to do fewer hours at a faster rate than my previous touring. Not sure to what extent that's the Caribbean heat and humidity talking, or my age, or having different desires.

I think I'm more risk-averse now than a few years ago, due to age. I think I still have some edge, though!!!!! :)

Apartment's starting to feel empty... Just a few more chore before going...

Feels great to lose weight! :)

Remaining activities before going... Remove as much more stuff as I can, see my local friends, ...?

At least while stuck in Capesterre I've had plenty of opportunity to take care of tasks like fixing up my calendar, data backup, and other computer things.

Weird to see leaving Capesterre on my calendar in a couple of days! This week!!!!! :)

It's often tough to get what you want. Often we're our own obstacles. I think it makes sense to push oneself gently towards goals. Enough to accomplish some difficult goals, but not so hard as not to enjoy the ride.

Now feeling intellectually, emotionally, physiologically, and logistically ready enough to ride!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
