Pre-Departure to San Francisco

Pre-Departure.

I am not sure if you all knew this, but my grandma is the best grandma. Ever. There is no competition. I will be traveling across the Cascades to the “other” side of the state with my lovely grandma, aunt, and cousin. Our ETD is 7:30 am. I was not about to get up at 5:30, pack, and leave Pullman at 7:00 am. I would rather wrestle a grizzly bear than do that, so I decided to occupy the spare bedroom at my grandma’s house. It needs slept in once every couple weeks and it was in dire need. The night was spent flipping through channels on the worthless television and doing cross word puzzles until midnight rolled around. It was awesome. My grandma was very proud that she knew the answer to a Big Bang Theory question. The answer was polyglot and she informed me that it indeed is a real word. She then asked me a question about the show Rosanne which I am disappointed to report, I did not know. Sam had stayed the night last week and the next morning, I had noticed that she had left the television on with Rosanne playing. So I then whipped out my phone and called her to see if she knew the answer. The question was “Rosanne has many of these.” Sam failed at life. Sigh. (Which I must point out is worse than me because she actually watches that show) BUT good ol’ grams figured it out. Debts was the answer.

My cousin Andrew has the reputation of being late. He also hates mornings almost more than he hates poor grammar. My grandma told me to text him and say that if he is not here at 7:30, we are leaving him. She specifically requested that I use her name within the message. That puts a certain sense of authority within the text message. What grandma says is law.

Bah ha ha ha ha.

And she meant it too.

We’ll see if I am able to recline my seat tomorrow morning because the lack of a body behind me.

For our journey to the west side, grandma made sandwiches, packed tons of snacks, AND made cookies. Yes.

I did remember to pack an essential item. The Sound of Music soundtrack.

Good food. Good music. Fabulous first leg of my road trip ahead.
