Another visit to Indiana. I loved going home but the travel part really got to me this time. I left at 4:30 am on Wednesday and actually didn't hit too much traffic until Louisville. It bottlenecks where 64 and 65 divide and it was about 30 minutes and 2 1/2 mile of stop and go traffic. I still made it in 12 hours which wasnt bad for all the traffic. I only stopped for bathroom and fuel. I took a couple of ham sandwiches with me and ate them instead of stopping for my meals.
Coming home on Sunday was a different story. I didnt have it too bad until I got back into NC. It was a nightmare. I hit traffic at Greensboro and it took me 3 hours to make a normal 1 1/2 trip. Im not a patient driver so by the time I got home I was severely stressed. Im thinking that next year I wont do Thanksgiving and Christmas but just Christmas. My parents will be disappointed but I have to think about my sanity too.
Thursday we had a great meal and a good visit. My family is maturing, less fighting when we are together. We were all home this year which thrilled my dad, mom too but dad is more vocal about his pleasure of having us all there. Friday my niece and I went back to mom's and stayed a bit then on Saturday we all went there again because it was my parents' anniversary. They have been married 45 years.
I am going tomorrow to get my new glasses, Im excited. When I went to get my eyes examined I found out my eyes had improved though my astigmatism had gotten worse in one eye. The eye doctor left it up to me whether to go with the bifocals or not...I chose not. I have no problem with taking my glasses off to read or getting longer arms.. hehe. Maybe next time...
