Road Trip - Part 1

Here's what has happened so far: worked from 6:30 am till noon, got home and finished cleaning, aunt showed up and started heading south...driving, talking, more driving, listening to book on tape, driving driving driving, talking and laughing, driv...OMG! there's a semi heading straight for us!!!! AAAAACCCKKKK!!!!! Hearts pounding, more driving and talking and FINALLY arriving at my grandparents!
Okay, the day doesn't stop there and continues to get even longer, but let me back up a bit...
It started out as a pleasant drive. My aunt had never traveled on HWY 26 to Southern Oregon, but it's my favorite route. Anyways, we are talking and catching up on what's going on and at one point listen to a book on CD she brought, but that lasted for about a half hour and we just kept talking. By the way, this drive is 5 hours!
So we are in the home stretch of reaching our destination...just about an hour left when all of a sudden we both notice that a semi heading in the opposite direction is starting to weave into our lane. My aunt begins to move towards the shoulder of the road, but he's got quite a bit of truck in our space and we're afraid we are gonna hit his back end cause at this point the driver realizes what he's done and is maneuvering himself back into his lane. BUT because he's a big semi and we are in a small car, the wind he created with the weaving, causes my aunt to somewhat lose control of the car and is frantically trying to make the car go straight, but the steering wheel is just going back and forth at a rapid rate. Finally the wind dies down and we are safe in our lane and the semi is far behind us. Have I mentioned that it's one lane only traveling in either direction? Yeah...so we were and still a little bit shaken up from that.
We arrive at my grandparents and my grandpa greeted us at the door but didn't seem too happy. He asked if someone knew we were coming down here. Yeeeessss....my mother knew as well as my uncle. "well", he says, "nobody told me." ummmm, yes they did...they told you yesterday. So he then proceeds to ask when we're leaving and if it could be tomorrow. Nope, sorry. We're staying till Sunday. ... sigh
My grandma then walks in the room and at first thinks I'm one of my aunt's daughters and starts to call me Terra, but catches herself and realizes who I am and begins to tell me how pretty I am and gives me hugs :D
It's just been a very long and crazy day. My aunt and I are staying in a local hotel so I'm glad to have a nice bed, where I can snuggle under the covers and prolly quietly cry myself to sleep.
Tomorrow I hope to get a run in, as I have to do our magic mile test to see if I can decrease my minute mile time. The running is going to welcomed and needed.
I best get to sleep now. Need as much rest as I can get! Night!
