Sorry ya’ll! I didn’t mean to go missing like that. I had quite an eventful weekend.
I haven’t felt like “myself” since I returned to Nashville after Christmas. I was in a funk that I just couldn’t shake, no matter what I did. I didn’t want to go out, I didn’t see any of my friends. I mostly just slept.
So Friday at work, I got a bug and decided I was going to just get in the car and drive. I left work, got in the car, and left town with nothing but the clothes on my back. I did stop at one point to grab a sweatshirt and some snacks for the road, but otherwise, I just went.
I’ve never done something so impulsive in my life. It felt so good. Ten hours in a car by yourself is also a good way to clear your head and get your thoughts in order too.
My amazing friend Erica stayed up with me all night checking in to make sure I was safe all along the way. (How lucky am I to have friends like that!?)
I got to Erie around 3 a.m. I’ve never been so happy to see that town in my entire life.
I spent the weekend with friends and family. I got to celebrate my grandfather’s 73rd birthday with him. Most importantly, my batteries feel entirely recharged and suddenly I feel like I can tackle the world again. It was just what the doctor ordered.
Good for you! sounds like a great trip, you have a great friend there in Erica, I have a friend or two like that too :) I’m glad you were able to just get away like that, I envy that. Perhaps one day I’ll be able to just GO too!

Wow! Good for you is right! I’ve never done anything impulsive either, but I can totally understand how you feel totally recharged now. That’s so great. And yes you do have great friends. :)
Your family must have been so thrilled and surprised! You are my hero today for doing this. :)
