Yes, I'm catching up three days. I went to Bakersfield and I forgot to bring my laptop. Not even considering trying to blog on my phone - its not that big.
On the drive down, I noticed that I make decisions differently on the medication. For instance, I do math to see if I can pass the other car; is there enough room for the speed that the other driver and myself are going? This is completely new. I started working on not taking other drivers personally when I got to San Francisco, and it has made for a much more pleasant experience, but I hadn't realized just how much a difference the medication makes in that now.
In at least one place in my life, I have successfully transitioned to a state of disinterest - a clinical term that means I'm not taking everything personally or wondering if other drivers will think I am a good person by how I drive. Because honestly, as long as I am not impeding traffic or being reckless, who cares if I pass you or you pass me. We all just want to get off the f'ing I5.
I must say that Shannon, my perpetual passenger, is rather unnerved by my new style of driving. I wonder how I would feel with him driving now? Usually I am totally high strung and freaking out when he drives.
