What Amy Does During Taper

Deb reminded me of Heather's taper rules earlier this week. I am instead going to list the things that seem to happen every time I taper.

1. I visit the hardware store. This time I had to get Teflon tape and pliers to prepare my tubes in case I need to attach a valve extender. 
2. I watch a lot of Food Network. This is kind of addicting. I could sit on the couch or floor the entire Saturday and Sunday and watch all the shows.
3. I get sick. No explanation needed. I may also be partially dehydrated this time.
4. I start packing really early. It's Saturday and I have my clothes and nutrition laid out already. I don't leave until Wednesday morning. 
5. I eat way too much. This is due to having more free time. 
6. I clean (if it is a race requiring travel). I have a fear that if I leave my apartment for several days without cleaning the bathroom and kitchen things will start to grow. This also happens since after I stuff myself full of crap I feel the need to move around and do something to digest.

What I don't do, but probably should is to get my car washed.
