@a2j 3 December 2021 more from that month

Three hour solo drive. We were meeting with cousins. My wife and kids took a cab yesterday. I joined them today. It's a 3 hour drive and, unfortunately, the highway was in bad shape after the rains in November. It was full of potholes and there were many detours to service lanes due to roadworks being done. Thankfully, the route went through some smaller roads that were surrounded by greenery and trees - much of a stress reliever! It was just me in the car and I listened to Christmas music throughout. That's what probably kept me calm!
