I am paranoid that I am going to be by myself and get trapped on the freeway. A few weeks ago the Mr. and I went to the movies. We were driving back and I saw this sign about 40 minute freeway closures. I didn’t quite get it because we drove by so quickly but then the next sign said something about 40 minute closures starting at midnight. I said to myself, “well I’m glad it’s only 11pm” and then I glanced at the clock and it said 11:59pm.

Crap

I was just about to say “get off at the exit” but the words didn’t escape my mouth quickly enough and we just hit a large back up of cars. We were both wondering if they really were going to close the freeway for 40 minutes. 10 minutes later we are still in the same spot. 5 minutes later we cut off the car. 10 minutes later I see people getting out of the cars and it scares me. The Mr. fell asleep but I said I was staying awake because who knows what could happen if I fell asleep. 12 minutes later I woke up and I couldn’t believe that I had fallen asleep. 3 minutes later the cars ahead of us started moving.

I’ll never do the night time freeway driving again.
