A Long Day of Driving

I have so much to write about today although I am so exhausted. I thought of things from yesterday that I wanted to write about and hoped to include them into today's posting as well.  Driving sure does give you lots of time to think and talk to yourself. And yes, I do talk to myself out loud all the time. It drives Jeff crazy and sometimes I have no idea I am even doing it.  I will go back and edit my first couple of blogs so that they are complete.

I started out today at 8:39AM and drive until 9:41 PM and you have to add an extra hour as I went through yet another time zone change and had to repeat an hour!  The good part of the extra driving today is that I have less to work out tomorrow and hopefully will get to my new home at a decent time so I can unpack, rest and get a good night sleep before my first day.

I did really good with my goals today.  I drove further and longer than I planned.  I not only saw one sight I saw several! And for the crying... well I did not cry but I will have to admit my eyes welled up with tears a few times.

I have a list of notes in the car of things I wanted to blog about today and of course that is still where it is .. in the car.  Just neat things I thought if I jotted them down as I saw them or thought of them it would help me make more sense and not forget things.

Highlights until I get my list and edit this log...

1. hit a bird
2. Oklahoma Visitors center
3. Geocache
4. saw Sequoyah's cabin
5. Trail of Tears
6. Carrie Underwood's home town
7. woman walking Llama at gas station
8. OKlahoma City -- how huge is that!
9. Route 66
10. Texas weather
11. New Mexico

Hope that will keep you guessing until I edit the rest of this.  I wish there was a way for me to really learn how to get my thoughts from my head onto the paper... well screen in this case.  I have always had a problem with this area.  I never have a problem with composing thoughts and letters among other things in my head.  Maybe on day I can just talk out loud and it will appear here.  That would be so neat.

Well it is really late and I am exhausted so I will end this for now although it will get a makeover in the next day or so .. stay tuned

Goals for tomorrow:
1. Get to Flagstaff before 5pm
2. See at least one sight
3. No crying
