3 states in 5 hours

So today I left Alabama and drove through 3 states in 5 hours...Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina...Atlanta was huge, swear to God it took a fucking hour just to go through the city!  wow...

I have been watching license plates on cars and so far I am the only lonely driver from Oklahoma...see a lot of local tags, plus a New York and Virginia tags...but have not seen a Texas, New Mexico or Oklahoma tag...

I think I use to hate to travel...the long drives and shit...but this "walk about" I am on, I find that the driving is relaxing, the scenery has been stunning...the only thing is the driving tends to make my head hurt worse..a friend called it "white line fever" or something like that....so traveling days I have to be more cognizant of staying ahead of the pain...

The hotel I am staying at here in Charlotte is the nicest one so far,,,the king size bed is fucking luxurious, down pillows, oh man  I wish I could steal the mattress and 4 pillows!!!
Have a feeling I will sleep like a baby tonight..

So I have been gone about two weeks now, and twice my mother in law has called me and so I finally called her back.  I was not sure what John had told her about me leaving..At first she acted like she didn't even know I was gone, then into the conversation she flat out asks me " are you leaving John"   I just was as Honest as I could be with her and told her "that one of the reasons I left was in fact, to try and figure out my marriage and what I wanted in that, and the second was to blog and write in the book..." she said she didn't know about the book, which is not true, because we have talked about it..then when I explained the book."living with TBI, brain tumors, radiation shit, depression etc and writing about what was in my head" she immediately changed the topic 360 degrees...SHE DID NOT WANT TO HEAR ALL THAT SHIT, BECAUSE SHE DOES NOT BELIEVE THE CHANGE IN ME IS BECAUSE OF BRAIN INJURY....and that is the heart of why I cannot be around family and Oklahoma...I am fucking suffocating...
