Since having surgery, I haven't driven. And then yesterday happened. The first time in 20 days.. that I drove a car. I was nervous. Sort of. Mostly I just didn't want to hurt myself. Or get into an accident. Stuff like that.
But Jason was sleeping- and Lily needed to get to school. So off we went. I asked her if she was scared.. she wasn't and told me if I was scared, to just think of something happy. I wonder where she got that great advice from?
It was a quick trip, no highways involved- just to her school and back. And it was fine. Backing up out of the driveway and twisting around to make sure I wasn't hitting traffic cones (yes, seriously), other cars, or trees was the worst of it.
On the drive home? I was alone. Alone. It was the first time in almost 3 weeks that I was completely alone.. no children, no husband, no doctors, no extended family.. just me and the car.
And then before I knew it, it was over. I was home. Out of the car and back with people again.
