Day 128

Zero day in bend

All night I was sweating my ass off and coating the sheets with my sweat. So gross. I woke up with a headache and a slightly sore throat but I thought it was just from me yapping all of last night. I ended up taking some ibeprofen which helped a lot. Mom went to grab Starbucks and some other breakfast stuff before we settled into bed and gossiped. I gave her all the tea which took so long. Eventually we needed to leave the nasty motel room so we called up the guys and said we wanted to go to the river and lay outside. We grabbed all the food and made our way to Marc before heading to the very crowded downtown Bend. For the next 3 hours we laid out and snacked and people watched. It was much needed. Ben joined us about an hour in and finally got to meet my mom. After laying out we headed over to grocery outlet to do a lil resupply. At this point I was feeling shitty and couldn’t put up with anyone but my mom. I was in a foul mood for no reason until I realized I was developing a sore throat. I decided that I didn’t want to go out and mom and I grabbed salads to eat in the room. Marc decided to go to a taco stand which we drove over and dropped him off. Initially Ben from Boston said he would like to be dropped off at a restaurant to meet monk but then he changed it to getting out it tj marc, only to change it again after we dropped Marc off to the original plan. I had asked for the address of the restaurant the first time which I didn’t get until after Marc. The restaurant he wanted to go to was all the way back by grocery outlet where we started…I was cracking up because this is classic Ben. Luckily we would’ve had to go that way anyway but it was just hilarious how from grocery outlet he could’ve walked two blocks to get where he was going. Rocklicker, mom, and I made our back to the hotel where I just felt like shit at this point. I could tell I had developed a low grade fever and my throat was hurting. Rock and I had been trying to do laundry all day but continued to be so lazy so we had to do it now. We rethought we could use the motel one but we couldn’t but luckily there was a laundry mat 400 feet from the motel. Rock was kind enough to basically do the entire thing as I had expressed I was feeling like shit. I curled up to mom while she played with my hair and just laid there fighting for my life. I was getting chills and then would get hot. We did end up calling dad which was great as always and we heard about his adventure with Nathan this weekend to see where his legs were at for when he comes out for a long weekend with me. I think he’s good honestly! Mom watched some tv while we ate our salads and I tried to hydrate. Then I headed to bed and got some shut eye. I think my fever broke but again, I coated the bed with sweat. Not great conditions to go back on trail to.
