Embarrassingly enough, I've been visiting the Detroit suburbs for all the years I dated Marc, and all the years we've been married. Sadly, I have no idea where he takes me when we are here. I've never driven here, I've always passenged*. I have no idea if we are east, west, or north of the city. I have no idea where the suburbs are that my friends live in. I've always just gotten in a car and arrived. Luckily, my new car has a navigation system that I have decided to trust. I actually drove home from the dealership yesterday all by myself- just my nav system and me.
My new keys are on my key ring from one of my favorite yoga client families in Chicago. I miss them, and I miss teaching. Hopefully I'll get back to all of that soon. For now, one step at a time. And my step right now is driving around the Metro. And making up words like passenged.
My brother-in-law Tim Carey of Star Lincoln found the MKC for me.
Congratulations on your new car! Driving yourself around after not driving for so many years can be daunting. I had to do the same thing after moving to the suburbs. After a few months you will know your way around so well that you will forget to even turn on your GPS! Happy driving!
ReplyDeletePaige! How did I not see this sooner? You are right- I am driving without the GPS (a little bit). I do miss the walking- it was such great exercise. I was just back in Chicago and realized how easy it was to walk more. But also how cold it was in the December weather. So I do love driving around in my temperature controlled car.
