Car Ride

I don't think I need to go into how the 14 hr car ride on a post-injection Saturday went. I especially don't need to mention those 90+ miles of wavy, bumpy, cracked-up, swervey Mississippi highway insanity, popping a vicodin every 6 hours to hold back the deep bone pain panic, the nausea and the second thoughts. Yet here we are and I'm happy enough to be here. The cabin, the view are all gloriously the same. The headache and physical frailty are keeping judgement and an easy smile at bay.

At the moment, I'm home alone, husband's with daughter, meeting in-laws at the nearest town of Jasper. The jubilant caravan will arrive soon. Savoring these moments now. The crisp air, the quiet.
