Getting ready!
I'm going to Georgia for work tomorrow. BY MYSELF! I was making maps and seeing the highway system in Atlanta kind of scared me, but I have no choice, but to just figure it out and trust myself. It's always so empowering, however scary, for me to travel alone. I'm even thinking of venturing back into the city to go to the zoo on my day off. I hope I get tons of great pictures.
Then, on March 2nd Kristin and I will drive to Kimper, Kentucky. It's on the very eastern most corner of Kentucky. Very very rural. The family has to come and get us when we find "the gas station," because they said we'd never find the place otherwise. I've had this odd and somewhat irrational fear of imbreds for a long time (since seeing movies like "Wrong Turn" (but I was stoned) and "The Hills Have Eyes." I know most people I see in this area are going to have that look. They won't be the beautiful people we observed on our Utah trip. That's for sure. We've been told everything east of I-75 is dirt poor and very very hilly. I can't wait to take pictures there too!!! Our hotel is miles from anything. We might be stopping in Lexington for another genetics blood draw and then in Statesville, SC too on the way back around. I'm pumped for that one. Kristin and I are good traveling companions.
Things with Michael are getting easier to deal with. His "father's" mother is dying and they left him a message (the first contact since they told him) that he can ride up to Tawas with them to say goodbyes if he wants. He has to work Saturday night, plus he told me he's not ready to talk to them or sit all day in the car with them. I wonder if it will ever get better for him. I'm hoping he follows through and gets himself on some antidepressants soon.
All else is well and my psychotrophic medications are working just dandy.
