The trip through hell

I finally made it to Utah! It took me about three days! The last leg was kinda of too tedious for me because of flat plain of Nebraska and Wyoming. That drove me nut!

The first day of driving, I decided to buy the cord that would allows the radio to play my ipod but it didn't work. I was so pissed off that I texted Abbie multiple texts asking for some assistance. But I ended up returning the cord to the Best Buy in Cincinnati where I stopped for the night. I ended up plugged the cord for ipod in the boot of my procesor. That helped me to keep alert for long time. Because three days of driving without any sounds is hellish for me! Except I have nothing to look at but at 18 wheelers... How fun!

Like I said, I stopped in Cincinnati for the night because I have a friend who live there so I decided to make little detour from the usual route to Salt Lake City. We hung out and went to the bar where we did few songs for karaoke. We both sucks at it for sure! He would sing and I sign/cue the song.

The second night, I stopped in Lincoln, Nebraska. I literally passed out when I laid my head on the pillow that I found myself in the same position when I first laid down. But I was so tired the next day that I had to stop at the store or starbuck to get coffee. I just can't live without coffee!

The last day was very hellish because of 18 wheelers having zero patience! They would blaring their horn at me just because I was going 75 mph not 90 or 1o0 like them! I eventually took the processor off because I don't want to hear the horn again. But the drivers still get my finger.

I almost end up getting a room in Evanston, Wyoming but my destination was only 50 miles away so I just toughen up and continue driving. I finally made it! So when I got to my friend's place. I just say "Hi and good night" in the same sentence. I woke up this morning and I know that I really slept that heavy that I wouldn't wake up for anything.

Now, I am in the bed about to fall asleep. Just am happy that I am in better place.. With my processors off because I need the silence.


For those who didn't read my previous blog- please do so you will understand the whole story.

I'm glad I entertained you somewhat with the texting! I would have loved to drive across the country but listening to your play by play was good enough :)
