What roads are you taking?

Whichever ones my GPS tells me to take. Here to Fallingwater to somewhere not too far from there for the first day of driving, and then there to Cincinnati for the second day.

Pittsburgh as the place to stop that night is a little out of the way, but not too bad. It makes the second day's drive a little longer, but if I'm hurting too much during that drive, then I can stop in Columbus for a while, or for the night if I need to. I don't actually have to be in Cincinnati until Wednesday, probably.

There ought to be decent places near Fallingwater, it is a world-class attraction. It's been a long time since I've spent much time in the old stomping grounds, and I don't remember how close Fallingwater is to the country club sections near Pittsburgh.

Ideally, I'd drive another hour or two toward Cincinnati after Fallingwater, but the only places that are in that direction are Wheeling and Morgantown. Well, totally ideally, I'd switch the positions of a bunch of states, because there's a vegan B&B and animal sanctuary in Virginia that would be really cool to stay at, but, well, physics. The states stay where they are.

Morgantown is home of the University of West Virginia, so may be a decent option. In my youth, it was considered a trip you planned for, from my location in southern Greene County, buy my sense of distances was quite skewed then. Being a major university town may give you better options than Wheeling.

Second dose of pain meds finally kicked in. Little woozy, but not in screaming pain for the first time today. Though it's just six minutes until midnight, so that doesn't really give me much of today left.

I was planning on going out today, but it doesn't look like I can. My legs are way to swollen to get my braces on, and I can't figure out where my compression socks are. The asshole that I have been dealing with on an off at the medical supply company claims he sent me the other pair he owed me, but I never received them.

And as is so often the case, I complain here and things get fixed. The asshole has finally agreed to send me the pair that he owes me and I located one of the pairs I have. It doesn't get me out of the house now, but maybe if I wear them for a couple of hours while napping, I can get out tonight. Sorry to be so whiny all the time.

You're building a human, whine away.

Thanks, Connie. I should probably spend the next month making sure people have to deal with me as little as possible.
