dying legs and cheesecake (oahu 2023-10-23)

I was exhausted and hungry when I got back to the hotel, but before I could go for food I needed to try to rescue my trail runners. I peeled off my wet socks and my leggings, then stepped into the shower. Watched the water run brown from the dirt on my feet and legs. Washed my skin clean, then soaped up my clothes with the little hotel bar soap, and washed them too until the water ran clear. The shoes came last, since I knew they'd be the most work. I wiped off all the visible mud first, washed off what was left, removed the shoe laces, took out the foam bottoms, then soaped and washed each part again separately. Then I took the hair dryer and dried each part until it felt but a little damp. Then laid out everything on the backs of chairs or tops of tables under the sunlight streaming in from the window.

Finally, now, to food.
