We just drove down the coast from the Central Valley to San Diego. A beautiful drive if you don’t count LA. (sorry LA, traffic still sucks in a Tesla)
Tidy snacks, do they have those? We tried. We did pretty well actually. Did I mention that we were driving my daughter in law’s parent’s brand new Tesla? Only because it held a longer charge than their’s and we would only need to stop for one hour at halfway to charge one time. Did I mention it was a six hour start-to-finish drive with a two year old? Thats a lot of sitting in a car seat. Sandwiches wouldn’t work. (Have you watched a toddler eat a PB and J lately? It’s a whole thing). We stopped for breakfast, but in toddler time there are many long snacking hours before lunch.
They had an appointment at 12:30. I had my meeting at 2. Somehow lunch was a quick hello to cousins and a few cucumber slices when we arrived.
My meeting was at first stressful, (getting there on time), then lovely, and long. By 4:30 the sun was dipping, a marine layer had rolled in and I suddenly noticed that I was cold. We were sitting at first in the sunshine.
When it was over, I realized I was hungry, cold and my blood sugar was dipping. Breakfast was too early for me, and lunch wasn’t really lunch so as time started creeping towards five o’clock, no wonder I was getting a migraine. G to the rescue. He swooped in with grown up snacks and some tylonal.
Circumstances got the best of me. Despite all the great things that happened all day, I needed a warm bath, a good meal and an early bedtime. Some days, no matter how fun or perfect, need a little time to wrap my brain around., I’m still wrapping.
