made it home

Well I am home now, much thanks to loren and Jim... I get kinda frazzeled right after somthing tramatic.. perhaps its flashbacks to when I was in HS and had my accident.. I dunno.

I am home now, took the whole day off work, I am a little sore but for the most part I am ok. don't really have the desire to be in a car agian though... kinda looking forward to being back at work... get my mind off things..

WOW... What a day....

So I decided to come home today, left really early (8:am) with the intentions of making almost all the way home, staying in like indio or kingman.... near bakersfiled I decided to go through LA. I think this was a mistake. long story short, I have been feeling like my head has like 30PSI to much air in it. All plugged up and not thinking clearly. I go to magic mountain and got into an accident in rush hour traffic. it was not to bad, but I freaked out called loren not sure what I was gonna do being stuck in LA... ended up getting the car towed and I am now in a hotel here near magic mountain. have a flight out tomarrow, back home.

wow crammed all that into one paragraph. impressive. well I am sore and tired and want to sleep.. I wanted to go to the pool but it is outside and there are a bunch of little heathans running around and I would perfer not to be around anyone anyway.

Not sure what I would have done if loren was not there... my port in the storm.. calm in the heart of the storm...

sleepy time

Rain... what a novel concept.

SO it has been raining since I crossed the hill into the bay area... talking with grandma and grandpa, aperently it was really nice weather till I got there, and since then it has been raining non stop. got some pretty cool pictures of the squirls playing outside. Got some pictures of grandma and grandpa.

Glen and donna, chuck, jan, matt, and a couple of the other cousins all came over to say hi and visit with grandma and grandpa. Glen stayed for dinner, I can't shake the feeling that this might be the last time I see grandpa. I am really glad I came. I have decided to go into the city tonight, and take some pictures. kinda decompress for a while. mom said she would be up to let me in.

I think thats all for now. felling a little sad tonight.

Leavign for SF to see the grand parents

*this is a back dated entry*

Today I left Phoenix at 10am, to drive up to San Fransisco. The plan originally was to drive up see my mom (who was in town visiting) and my grand parents for easter. I drove my new VW jetta Diesel. This will be its first road trip.

I happened to talk to Rich and just and found that they were headed out to the white party the same weekend and were also leaving on thursday. We met up in avendale, had a little spot of breakfast and drove out to palm springs, at like exactly the speed limit.. was kinda nice actually.

Once in palm springs I though I would check it out see what it was all about. I was really impressed, it looked like a really nice place, and most of the guys were 30's and above which I thought was RELLY cool.

After I was there a while, helped rich and justing with their bags to their room, met their friends Philip and bernard who I think I had met in SF before. I though it was better that I finish up my trip. I left there at about 4 or so I think, and I drove to bakersfiels where I got a hotelroom for the night. This was a VERY good Idea, I remember making that trip in one day and how miserable I felt afterwards. Since I was feeling sick anyway, it was better to stop..

The next morning, I got up about 7ish, grabbed some Mc Donalds, and got on the road. A friend of mine let me use his navagation unit, so I let it plot the course and I ended up taking a new way to my grand parents that took me ofer this mountain pass what was just beautiful. it misted on me once I was over the hill which turned into a light rain. it was really a nice drive.

I got to grandma's house about 11am which was about 2 hours earlier than I had planned. Mom was out shopping (big shock) I hung out with grandma and grandpa, had some tea and some little nibbely things that I can't even remeber what they were.

I could feel that there was more going on than they let on, grandpa looked very tired, and grandma didn't really seem with the converstion. I let it go and enjoyed my time with them, mom just got home I think we are gonna have some dinner and then I am going to bed.. I am tired..
long trip..
