Driving to Houston

It really wasn’t a bad ride at all this time. I popped out of bed in Livonia around 7:00 am and was well on the road by 8:00.

Because it was the weekend traffic was light and there was surprisingly very little construction. Although I would actually liked to see a lot more since it was good weather and construction all over would have at least meant that people were working.

The first night I drove fifteen hours and got to ‘Granada, Mississippi’. There was only one non-smoking room left in the whole town. Turns out it was really a very strong smelling ex-smoking room that they tried to mask with Lysol. Ewwww-but yes, I was that tired.

The next day I was much less enthused about driving so I’m glad that I made a lot of miles the first day.

It rained some but still was a pretty smooth drive.

So thanks to good traffic conditions, gallons upon gallons of Iced Tea, a new tasty treat from Hostess called ‘Cakesters’ (vanilla of course) and lot’s of Rest Area’s I’m now here in Houston and working!

I move into my apartment after work tonight. Woo hoo!
