I have never been drunk in my life. This is not a triumph of will over circumstance; it is simply that I am frightened by the thought of losing control of my actions.
And yet.
Yesterday, I drove from Virginia to Pennsylvania. I hadn't eaten breakfast or lunch. It was raining. And at least four times, I woke up as I was driving. I was not awake enough to realize that I should not be driving. That I was too tired to make rational decisions.
This morning, remembering this, it scared the hell out of me.
NEXT TIME GET OUT OF THE CAR AND WALK AROUND OR GET SOME HOT COFFEE OR CHECK IN SOMEWHERE!!!!
ReplyDeleteI do know that - now, when I am awake enough to be rational.
ReplyDeleteWhere in PA are you? Anywhere near Philly? Let's have coffee. :)
ReplyDeleteAbout two hours away. I'll send you a note -- I'm planning on coming there to pick up something....
