necessity breeds...what?
Sep. 14th, 2007 10:42 aminvention. In this case, then invention is my ability to drive. I'm sick and tired of having to depend on others any time I need to go somewhere, and so I've decided it's finally time to face my fear and learn to drive.
Right now I'm pissed because I want to go up to my parents' house tonight in a CAR, because I have laundry I want to wash up there, and I have a couple bags of clothes to give away to add to my mom's collection. So of course, no one wants to go along with my plan and we'll probably end up having to take the bus up to my parents' which means I won't be able to bring up loads of laundry and donated clothes.
Well, if I could drive, there would be no problem! Raph could sit in the passenger seat and nap! Natalie could sit in the backseat and nap! The laundry and donation would rest comfortably in the trunk! I'd have my way!
There are a couple of other reasons it's time for me to drive. Raph and I are starting to look into buying a home in the suburbs, which would mean driving EVERYWHERE. We currently live in Queens and everything we need is walking distance, or if not we take the subway. I've lived in NYC for the better part of 9 years, during college, and after, so I'm very used to having this convenience.
The second reason is we're planning a family soon, and I'd like to be able to drive in case of emergencies, and also for regular stuff like doctors' appointments, especially if we're living in the 'burbs.
But, I am TERRIFIED of driving! I sometimes get nervous when other people are driving. I'm going to need lots of clonazepam for this.
