Annual HH vaycay! So since Georgia just passed a law making it illegal to even touch your phone while driving, got a hands free mount for the car just in case mother called or something. But since I had my phone mounted, decided to use the GPS even though its a trip I've taken for decades.
Which, in the past I've guess-timated how long it would take me to get there, but somehow having the exact number of miles/expected time of arrival made the trip feel... easier? Like before I could see how many miles I have of interstate travel I have to go, and then guess how many hours I have left depending on my current speed. which as time and distance went on, felt disheartening when it didn't seem like I was making any headway. But knowing exactly when I should get to my destination was more motivating.
Also, saved myself half an hour when the GPS routed me some weird way to avoid some traffic on I-95, taking me through the Savannah wildlife preserve. That was interesting, though the area smelled like a fish market.
Treated my mom and
durlxnemesis to a shared birthday dinner Sunday night, though my aunt paid for the tip in cash. But since the waitress never came back to check on the check, I've been paranoid that someone might have taken the tip and so all she got was a signed receipt with nothing written in for the tip and thinking I like ripped her off or something.
