stuffed

for hours, 12 to be exact, stuffed in a car...somebody, get me out. that's all i could think the last four hours, at the very least. don't get me wrong, i love road trips, always have. but the fact that i got little to no sleep the night before, didn't really make it easy to be curled up in a seat, craving the comfort of my own bed. not only that, but driving can be exhausting, even with energy springing from my toes pressing the pedal. i suppose what i am most grateful for, despite the discomforts, was the company- a few good laughs, an audio book and interesting conversation. it made the car ride worth the exhaustion. and of course, the ability to shower, eat well and pass out after. it's true, sheer driving gives no great room for deep thought, but certainly it gives way to a journey not explored. yes, even the same route can bring about new ideas and thoughts that were not experienced before. there is a learning experience to be had and each mile driven can lead to it in a way that was not done before. of course, then again, i was just glad to, finally, finish the "getting to"....my beauty zzz's are essential.
