Thanksgiving

Yesterday I went to a friend's house for Thanksgiving. It was so nice, and I was fortunate to be having a wonderful day. I was worried that I would be sick but was not bad at all. I took a little walk in the woods--slowly--which was nice.

And then I drove three hours. Crazy! I wanted to get at least halfway to where I wanted to be today. I kept going partway into the lane next to me, and I was afraid I would hit the divider. Someone was with me, but she ended up not being able to drive.
