I'm very glad to not be driving anymore. Today should have been an easy drive, with all straight, flat roads, but the rain was relentless. The Sunshine State has not been very sunny.
The thing about me and driving is that I tend to be very intense. I'm always on alert with the assumption that everyone else intends to kill me. That's not a big deal with drives an hour or less, but it mentally takes its toll on really long drives. There's a physical toll, too, because I'm always clenching my shoulders and back. I feel kind of wrecked for not actually doing anything.
Yesterday, someone tried to kill me by sliding across three lanes to get off the freeway, nearly forcing me into the nowhere in between. Today the people were cooperative, but the weather was awful. Had my first downpour serious enough slow traffic to 30 mph. It was pretty crazy, I couldn't see the car in front of me.
