ORD to SAN


I am traveling again! I am currently enjoying a delicious chorizo and egg burrito at O'hare. I'm having a (somewhat) large late breakfast / early lunch as I am sure my friend JoAn will want to hit the ground running when I arrive in San Diego at 2:30 local time. The drive in was longer as normal and I take full responsibility for this. Normally, I drive fast as can be with no stops when I go places. I once left a class at Ball State desperately needing to use the restroom. I was in a big hurry to get home so I drove THE WHOLE THREE HOURS without stopping, having to urinate the whole time. A similar situation happened this morning. During the school year, I normally don't have a chance to use the rest room from the time I get up at 5 a.m. until after school. I am used to "holding it." Well this morning, after just two mugs of tea, I could not hold it anymore. It was like every bump in the road was a close call. I thus had to stop at the Hinsdale Oasis and use the facilities. I also had to get gas and go to the ATM on my way in. I'll do better on the way home.

I am traveling somewhat light today. Although I'll be gone for a week, I brought just my backpack and small suitcase. I still managed to squeeze in a laptop, 2 books, 2 magazines, a newspaper, water bottle, travel mug, 4 pairs of shoes, 2 swuimsuits, etc etc. I did forget to bring the diffuser for my hair dryer so I you may not see any pictures of my head this week.
