Road trippin '

I tried to post this a couple of days ago from my phone, but I couldn't get enough of a signal in the Ozark Hills to connect and upload. This week my hubby and I took a quick trip to my home town of  Springfield, Mo for a funeral.  I get car sick, more and more so every year.  It makes the idea of a four hour car ride one that I don't relish!  I try to take something to do to keep my mind and eyes busy to hopefully distract me, but it usually just makes it worse.  I can't read, I can't write, etc.  About all I can do is sleep and as a over anxious passenger, that isn't exactly easy. For this trip I threw a little bit of needlework in my bag incase I had a little downtime during the visit.  As we were driving I decided to give it a try.  My hubby said "That looks like a bad idea".  I thought so too, but what the heck! So anyway, guess what, no problems at all!  It turns out that stitching didn't bother me at all.  Best of all, I kept myself busy, didn't have to look out the window, didn't have to nag the Hub about his driving or speeding,  and finished two projects.  Hmmm, who would have thought?! Next time I will have to rig me up a little desk so I can have a full workspace!
