Woke up at 8 this morning. I showered and made a quick breakfast. I’m really bummed out that the past 8 days of journals has disappeared. I’ve done everything I can think of. The last thing I tried was contacting apple support. I talked with them for 45 minutes this morning. At the end they were not able to recover them… I’ve now got 8 days of journals to rewrite. I want to have them so I and reflect back on my trip, but it’s going to take the better part of 6 hours to redo them… I’d rather spend those hours doing other things.

I began rewriting a journal before I got my haircut at 10:30. I walked about a mile back into town for the haircut and got some food for lunch and dinner from the grocery store after.

Once back I ate my itialian sandwich and some barbecue potato chips. I’ve got a video meeting at 3:30 this afternoon and before then I continued practicing my rewriting skills.

Meeting finished I made a microwave dinner. It’s a pasta marina and pepperoni meal. It wasn’t as bad I expected. I took a nice long dinner break before resuming writing.

I’m trying to get the majority of them rewritten before I hit the trail again. I was hoping to be way ahead on things and be able to relax but it is what it is. I won’t regret it a few years from now.

Got a shuttle for tomorrow morning at 9:00am. I had met the driver, Pam, in the grocery store yesterday. She was very kind.
