road trip

I get to take the children on a road trip today! It is supposed to start snowing at our destination in the afternoon, so I would like to get there right about lunchtime. I think we are planning to return on Monday.

It is not a long trip, but it is along a notoriously heavy traffic corridor and, as I really have not driven much long-distance in a while, my anxiety starts to climb. It's not like I don't drive on the freeway anymore; I do all the time. But my point of view is so skewed...I don't trust a soul anymore.

She-Ra and I were going to caravan down (power in numbers) but it's looking probable that she won't make it today. Maybe that is a good thing. Maybe that is what I need, to know that I can do this all by myself, again, finally. It has almost been two years...

I was going to go to the gym, but I think I had better stay and do a few last things here. I think we'll be leaving in the 9:30 arena, anyhow, and I'll have to hit the store and Buckies!

Have a wonderful weekend.

  2. You'll be fine Mapi..

    Just remember what my father the instructor pilot always told me:

    "Keep you head out of the cockpit! and FLY THE PLANE.."

    Meaning: keep your eyes and situational awareness outside the cabin and scanning for possible "threats". Nothing inside the car will be the cause of anything happening.

    Biggest of all, just try to relax and scan, scan, scan for the other guys out there.

    Have a super duper awesomely wonderful weekend, Love!!!

  4. She-Ra did make it but she came back early. And now she can report that Mapi (obviously) made it safely down and is enjoying a well-deserved relaxing weekend away.

    I just hope they don't talk about me too much tonight now that I'm gone! :)
