Day 59

Ugh.  I'm getting fed up.  Another short, crappy day filled with knee pain and exhaustion.  I shortcutted the trip up the wildcat mountain by taking the ski lift up.  I don't really care all that much anymore.  If you were out here day after day, you m ight find yourself looking for ways to ease up the pain on your body.  I'm going back to Albany tomorrow.  Going to get to Gorham, rent a car, and just get away from the trail for a couple of days.  I mean, the trail is fun and its been an amazing experience, but I haven't taken a day off since Massachusettes, almost a month ago.  I figure, go home, recharge, have multiple consecutive days where I shower and use indoor plumbing, and I should be all set.  I hope.  I have to finish the trail, this I know.  But the problem is that I don't really want to.  I just wanna go home and drink beer and be lazy.  I'm sure it will pass, if not, theres less than a month left, so its not going to be too much longer.
