Phobia
This Summer Barbie and the Rogers want to go to San Diego for a Cousin Reunion, I do as well, but don't want to drive there. I have a phobia against driving on Freeways and other people driving me. I'm getting better, I drove to Lake Tahoe, I've sat in the front seat both ways going to Carmel, and when we came back from Tahoe sat in the front in Barbie's car, granted I had a blanket over my head, but I could see a little. Driving to San Diego is about 6 hours or more in a car. Barbie asked if I would be upset if she went. Of course not, there's no reason for her not to go just because I didn't. I've driven in LA, which is next to San Diego, people are insane drivers, they drive to fast, they tail gate. I don't like being this way. Also when we were little we drove to our Vacation where ever that was and when Barbie went to College in Oregon and worked and lived in LA and San Francisco, we drove there. There isn't a whole lot to do when your not old enough to drive or Dad didn't want me to drive when I could. I much rather fly any where that drive, but flying has become a huge hassle. Barbie suggested that I lie in the back seat, the only way I would lie down for 6 hours or more would be if I took sleeping pills.
When we went to Tahoe Tom and the kids went with me. There is no reason for Barbie to remember this, but 50 and I 5 merge into 1 huge lane. That scares me to no end because the person who's merging doesn't care about you, they practiclly run you off the freeway. When we did this, I happened to look over, there was a huge truck so close I could have touched it. Tom told me to ignore everything and drive. Going over the Summit was nerve racking, even for Barbie who has nerves of steel. On the right is straight down and on the left is on coming traffic. The roads are carved out of the Mountains. It must of been something when the Donnor Party tried to go over the Mountains way back in the day. I would have gone back to my house and gone on the freeway that way. When we finely arrived in Tahoe, Barbie wanted to see some homes, we got out of the car, she asked me if I was mad about something, I told her we would talk about it later. As I said she has no reason to remember that little fact. She apologized, which was nice, but not necessary.
I've lost 7 lbs.. yay me. I've been eating Special K, it's not bad. Also I was picking Oranges from my Tree, I don't ordinarily do that much exercise. I hope I don't sabotage myself, I'm my own worst enemy.
