Re: big trip...a little nervous LostTeacher: hey guys! just a quick update while i stole my sister's boyfriend's computer...
the drive was perfect. i am so totally proud of myself for being able to do 14 hours all by myself. stopped half way here and stayed at a hotel...again, for the first time on my own. took myself out to supper, and then just totally crashed. made good time here, and have been having a great time. my sis's house is amazing...a perfect view of the mountains from her kitchen. it's awsome.
had a little tooth emergency...big surprise...but all is well.
thanks for the support...i totally needed to see that.
will try to check in again later...if not, i'll be back late monday.
yaaaaahhh for me!!!

Re: big trip...a little nervous LostTeacher: well....back from the big trip.
my sister drove back with me this time, and we did the whole drive in one day...14 hours. i am a bit tired today, as i did most of the driving.
i have very mixed feelings about this trip.
on one side, i am super happy. i did things i didn't think i could do.....i drove 14 hours myself, no one else in the car with me. i did single lane driving, i drove thru calgary without getting lost, i did a long stint of night driving. i spent time with my cousin and her new baby (he's 7 months old, and i am in love with him!) i spent time with my sister, did some shopping, and had a restful experience.
the other side is sad. this was a trip that i used to do a lot with the ex. when we went to certain parts of the city, i was just reminded of things i used to do with him. i really thought about him a lot this weekend, in passing, sometimes quick thoughts, sometimes longer. it made me realize that he really is gone, and that this is just me.
it was an eye opener. made me appreciate my own place....actually left my sister with my parents to spend some time by myself! made me see how much i still think of him, and how i need to change that around a bit. i got a lot of that out of my system, and it's time to start thought-blocking again.
so....trying to do some cleaning and some laundry so my sister doesn't think this place is a mess!
it's good to be home...missed you guys...trying to slowly get caught up!

Re: big trip...a little nervous Chey: Hey LT! Similar lives again ;) Just got back from my 4500K trip from Victoria to Toronto, and I had a blast! Dropped down to Washington and took the I90 to the I94 back to the I90 again. It was totally awesome.
I feel completely liberated, I have NO Idea why and I'm not questioning it. I'm just thrilled I did it. PLUS I got to experience an American tradition...$9.99 All American Steak and Chicken All you can eat buffet! Oh my GOD. I crawled out but damn that was the best steak ever! ;D Go North Dakota!
Anyway...I'm so glad you made it, and you're doing good, and your sister is with you. Hope you waved hi to MY sister in Calgary while you were there ;)
Welcome back you were missed!
