rosieknightToday, we traveled from Florida to Kentucky. That's about 12 hours of driving, ignoring food, gas and restroom breaks. In actuallity, it took us closer to 14 hours to reach here.
Normally, the dog wanders in the car on long trips. This time, she pretty much stayed in which ever lap she was in when we started driving again. My theory is that the junk in on the floor between my seat and Bro's seat prevented her from jumping down and moving freely.
Lunch was Sonic. Pretty decent burger for that place. I normal dislike Sonic, but it was alright this time. Perhaps Georgia's Sonics are better than Florida's?
Dinner was at Cracker Barrel. Not much to say about that. I like Cracker Barrel and we did the switch thing with who watched the dog.
My only complaint with the trip so far has to do with Mom. She injured her leg in... either late April or early May and has been using a wheelchair while it recovers. I'm usually not the person to push her around, so I really wish she'd stop bitching at me about how I'm not doing it right.
It's extremely rough when I need to take her to the restrooms. While people are nice and will hold doors for us, it doesn't stop Mom from complaining about me messing things up or not doing them fast enough for her. At our last restroom stop, I had no clue what she was thinking when she decided to try exiting the stall before I had completely opened and braced the door so it wouldn't hit the chair. She was not happy about having to reach Apparently, I was supposed to read her mind and know to bring the chair in the moment I saw her standing up.
The trip's been going well.
I've no real observations or anything to add, other than the note that we're reaching Ohio some time tomorrow afternoon.
Speaking of tomorrow, my time on this computer is almost up. So, I'll leave you with this comment. I've got a scene in my head to write out long-hand either later tonight or some time tomorrow. It should be up soon, though.
Until then,
RK
