We survived. I may have more to say about it later. Maybe not.
I will say that I knitted and read, since my kind husband did the driving. I usually find the Stephanie Plum novels excessively violent, but I found that Three to Get Deadly made good freeway reading. My state of mind matched the heorine’s perfectly. Granted that she was finding gory corpses and I was merely traveling on freeways, it still made it easier to relate.
You are much braver than I! Gore scares the crap out me! Gore as in genre, not the former V.P….
I like riding places. I like to watch the scenery. Unless all you can see are other cars.
I’ve decided what I have is Social Agoraphobia. Or, social anxiety. I have no trouble getting out on my own, or to see a few people I know and like well.
I’m glad you survived. How’s the knitting?
I had no idea that so much was done online over there. This is definitely not the case in NZ – at least not yet. We do some shopping online – if we have internet and a credit card (I get books, DVDs, and software online that I can’t get in situ so to speak here) I would not even consider getting groceries or clothes online or getting medical advice online. We have just lost our local milk delivery in our area a couple of weeks ago but as most of the residents in my area work in the city we just pick up our milk from the supermarket or dairy on our way home if we need it. Hmmm – if you and KaliMama are not the only US ladies self-diagnosing yourselves as agrophobics perhaps the tendency to do everything in the virtual world (well almost everything – some fairly basic necessities for species survival still need real world contact đŸ™‚ ) and the incidence of reported agraphobia are correlated?…
