I hate internal arguments...

I'm getting run down again, and that's somewhat annoying because the weather is finally starting to be nice. I want to be outdoors when the weather is nice, but I don't seem to have much energy to actually DO anything outdoors.

I'm worrying about too many things.

Work, for one. The workload isn't getting lighter, and the progress through it is limping along in piecemeal fashion while we train the new person and look for two more new people. I like both of our part-time people, but because they're part-time, they're not doing the sorts of projects that help us get day-to-day stuff done. At least the staff meetings have gone down to two hours a week of group meetings and fifteen minutes a day individually, and I got out of my fifteen minutes yesterday by being too busy to stop for them.

I'm also worrying about the moving situation, but only because I don't know for certain that it's going to happen. On the strength of being 90% sure it's going to happen, I've been letting myself dream about it. Unfortunately the 10% that isn't sure is getting good at counter-arguments. I honestly don't know what the hell I'm going to do if I have to start over, but I won't know for certain until at least the end of May.

And I'm a little worried about the driving out to Ohio and back. I can drive. I can drive on the highway. Unfortunately, my only experience driving on the highway in the Midwest other than my driving lessons was in the moving truck with the side mirror that wouldn't stay put, and I scared myself half to death at one point when I tried to fix the mirror and drive at the same time. Now, I know that won't happen this time, but I haven't forgotten about last time yet.

Half of me wonders where this week went, and the other half wants to know why it isn't Friday yet.

I'll take one of those worries off your list: Driving to Ohio and back. I promise that I will take the first shift of the drive that includes getting us onto the highway and out of the city. I'll keep going until I need a break which should take us out well past the city limits and possibly as far as the New York or Connecticut border. Once you get out of eastern MA, the drivers get more predictable and less scary. How's that sound?

That works. I was actually going to ask if you'd mind getting us out of Boston at least, since you know how that works better than I do.

(By the way, Mapquest says 10 hours and 55 minutes for the trip if we go through NY.)

We agree, that works. And I truly don't mind doing the first part of the drive out of Boston. In fact, on the way back, I actually have a sick sort of nostalgia for that part of the drive....Hmmm, So what does mapquest say about the connecticut and pennsylvania route? I can't get mapquest to even map that route.

Google Maps says 11 hours 22 minutes if we go through PA. I couldn't get Mapquest to do it either.
