It took me 4 fucking hours to get down to SD yesterday. They closed the 5, so they rerouted everyone to the 15 – I fucking hate taking that route bc it’s boring as fuck. It was 90-something degrees out, and there’s nothing but casinos and outlets along that route. It detoured us through residential Corona for half an hour and through rural Murrieta for at least an hour. Any other day, I would’ve been like ‘fuck it’ and just stayed up in LA, but we had plans to celebrate Chel’s birthday at Balboa Park last night and my sister had an MRI at the ass crack of dawn this morning. Her biopsy came back negative for cancer, but they found lesions that could possibly turn into cancer, so she’s gonna have a lumpectomy to have them removed. The surgeon wanted her to do an MRI first to make sure they didn’t miss anything. She won’t get the results for a few days, but I wanted to be here for moral support 💕
Anyway, if I didn’t already hate this fucking administration, yesterday’s gridlock would have sealed the deal. Driving down to SD from LA already sucks ass on the 5 on a regular Saturday afternoon, taking the 15 route always sucks, but EVERYONE taking the 15 route down to SD??? Fucking kill me. I doordashed a horchata cold brew latte for the road and listened to my Deftones playlist the entire time, but no amount of caffeine or Chino could lift my spirits during that long ass drive.
I’m so glad I won’t have to do this commute anymore after next weekend 😮💨
