Made it to Russellville, ArKansas...

...pretty casual day. Tomorrow, it'll either be Amarillo or all the way to ABQ.

Piper is a little nervous, but taking the travel fairly well. I've been stopping about every hour-and-a-half for a potty break, so I suspect that she might actually be getting more attention than she'd accustomed to. Combined with the stress and lack of sleep in the car, she's probably pretty exhausted. Still, she is eating, pooping, and doing OK.

As for me, I've really been enjoying the driving. I'm pretty sure that I could step it up several notches, in terms of putting the miles behind us, but I'm liking the time to be somewhat casual. I've been listening to The Deathly Hallows to pass the time (and having a hard time swallowing some of the stupidity of the characters this time around (Why the inane secret clues, Dumbledore? Harry, why don't you just "Accio Handgun!" and take care of "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Asked-Why-He-Didn't-Put-His-Soul-Into-
More-Secure-Objects" the old-fashioned way?*)), as well as dictating some journal stuff by means of Dragon Naturally Speaking (the actual copy of which looks hilarious, by the way. I think I'll leave it unedited for posterity).

Anyhoo, I'm tired, so it's lights out.
