The best laid plans

It's been one of those days. 

I worked in the school library where some of my smallest people don't speak English and some can't even tell me their own name!  Then I picked up my medicine, packed my clothes and set off on an adventure!

As adventures have a tendency to do, nothing went as planned.  I ended up eating at a Cracker Barrel because the choices were that or MacDonalds, but I only ate half of what they gave me and I didn't order that pumpkin custard I wanted to try so badly!

I also didn't stay at a hotel or motel there because it seemed like such a busy and drab area.  That was a big mistake.  Little did I know I was on the edge of the wastelands!  There wasn't another hotel or motel where I felt safe parking my car and you can't stay someplace if your car is afraid.  Instead of driving a few more miles, I drove a few more hours and now I'm going to get to the place I have reservations at tomorrow in time for lunch!

I can't cancel those without paying for them so I"m staying there anyway, but that means I still won't arrive at my final destination one minute earlier than I originally planned. 

But I am enjoying the driving when it's not raining.

And I can't wait until I arrive!
