Road Trip!

11th of June 2018


I needed to get away from home. I couldn't stand people getting pissed at me for the stupidest things. I couldn't stand people just doing what they think is ok without asking me what I thought (if it involved me, that is). I get tired of watching out for other people just because they just want to do what they please without considering others. I get tired of others thinking "I'm right, you're wrong, and here's why." People nowadays are just full of not only shit, but themselves.

Political posts on Facebook get way out of hand. People paying more attention to their phones more than what's around them causes headaches when they run into each other. People just being downright nasty to each other is at the highest I've seen. Whether it's this-ism or that-ism, people hate each other. That's why road trips are a great cure. I prefer to be by myself because I have no one to answer to. It's refreshing to not have anyone mess with the radio while great music is playing. It's refreshing to not hear "are we there yet?" It's refreshing to not have to go to every rest stop on the way. It's even refreshing to have to stop when it's raining too hard and nothing can be seen for miles. Free car wash! It's refreshing to having the air conditioner on when needed.

Yesterday, I took a road trip at the spur of the moment. On Saturday, I pissed someone off, and she said she was going to call me Sunday. I knew she wasn't going to call. I gave her an opportunity to call, but she never did. So around 11am, I decided ROAD TRIP! But where was I headed? I would decide while at the gym. I worked with Buster for 30 minutes, and I had a plan. I had my gym bag with 4 water bottles in it and a couple sets of gym clothes as well. It was decided: Sioux City, Iowa.

The last time I visited my mother's grave was sometime in January. I couldn't find the grave because it had snowed a good amount. I came close. I was out there kicking snow around in my gym clothes, shorts and all. I could hear my mother saying "Put some pants and a coat on! And where's your hat?!" This time, it would be easy to find it since the snow has long melted. I paid my respects and grieved for a bit, and then it was time to go to the gym. Yes, again. This time, it was the tire flip machine that I love so much. I went at that machine until I had all my aggression out. It was a tough week I had after all (would saying elections be enough explanation for you?). It was a good 12 minutes on the machine with a break at 6 minutes.

After the gym, I know I needed to pay my sister a visit. The last time I was up that way and didn't pay her a visit, she got upset with me. With good reason. It's happened to me with some people. We had a good talk for a couple hours until I had to drive back. We talked about the family reunion over the weekend (I didn't go). We talked about a lot of things. I'm not sure what prompted me to go, but I'm glad I did. It was a refresher that I needed after lots of stress building up. I need to take more road trips, but I can only hope that the gas prices don't get way out of control.
