This is the only photo I have to document my 1300 mile drive back to Texas from Florida. It was taken at the first rest stop once you enter the state from Louisiana. Might have been the stop with a gang of sweet feral cats, can’t remember.

I’m glad to be home. And I’m glad I went, even though traveling right now might not seem like a good idea. Flying wasn’t an option at this time. The trip for me was worth the distance and effort, to get to see my family for Thanksgiving. We were as safe as we could be. I don’t want to live in a bubble. And I don’t want to put others at risk. It’s a stressful balance to maintain. Let’s hope it all works out for the best.
