Up at beastly-o-clock this morning for a quick and grumpy shower (gripe gripe gripe gripe) and then on the road to redmed‘s parents house in PA. We carefully planned this “leave early” and “take smaller roads” thing to avoid what we were anticipating as nightmarish traffic. In reality, I allowed the car to coast below 80mph only for planned stops and one little bit of construction. Basically, nobody was on the roads. What gives? Thanksgiving traffic was trivial, I flew out of freaking MIDWAY last night with only a half hour delay, and the roads were empty on the Friday before the Christmas weekend.
I’ll take the good fortune, but I’m a little weirded out by how light traffic has been this year. Am I an anomaly in seeing this?
The first thing I did when we got here was collapse and nap until about 6. I feel awesome, though I’m almost ready for bed. A couple more days of this and I’ll be back to full strength.
