So, on Friday I drove for 8 hours, covered about 500 miles and arrived at my parents house exhausted! Luckily, I was able to leave work early, so I got to their place at about 7pm.

I had a really good time with my folks. I was able to relax a little and catch-up with both of them. I was sad to leave this morning.

Today it was a repeat of Friday, except I pulled away from their house at 6am and got home at 2pm.

I have to say, I went a different route to their than what I usually take, and I live in a truly beautiful state. I haven't driven up by Mammoth in over 20 years and the parts north of there in about 40 years (when I was a kid). It brought back so many good memories.....and maybe an itch to go camping.  If I do go camping, I'm not gonna be doing the driving any time soon, lol! It will take a while for me to recover from this!

The only really shitty apart about this different route (apart from the desert part) is that there are a bunch of areas that the speed limit goes: 70 65 55 45 35 25. And you can't speed! I saw tickets being given all along the way. It's hard to slow down that fast, especially when there are big trucks on your bumper!

I was told on Friday, before I left work, that they wanted me to go to a new office tomorrow and help train people. I wish it could be Wednesday instead, since that guy I work with that's been out of the country is due back tomorrow and we had a meeting scheduled....that's not going to go over too well!

Now, I'm gonna lay around and do nothing.
