On The Lonely Road

It’s time to hit the road and make the 8 hour drive to this signing. I’ve been looking forward to it up until today. I guess in a way I always had this spark in the back of my mind of hope that my author friend would be able to join, or my hubs would actually get the time off to come. But no. I’ll be going alone. Don’t get me wrong, I’m used to driving long distances by myself. I’m just kind of sick of it. I used to LOVE driving. In college when I would get pissed off I would go for a drive for like a hour just to calm down. I did that when I was first married as well…before gas prices went crazy this is. (I’m old…)

So now that I’m doing ANOTHER trip alone… I kind of don’t want to go. The car is packed, and I’m mostly packed… but I don’t want to go now. I know once I get there it will be different. I’ll be in my element around all my book world friends. I’ve never had this feeling before a signing. Maybe it’s because I had to start my long-term sub job early… or because I know that I won’t get sleep the next couple days and then have to go right to working full time. I don’t know… But, now you all get an insight into my feelings. I’m lonely and don’t want to drive by myself yet again… but I will.
