Grouchy drive to New Jersey

[breakinglight11]

I am currently in the car, narrating this entry using Siri on my smart phone. Apologies for any malapropisms. I'm on my way to Montclair New Jersey, so that I can attend Bernie's brother Joe's wedding. I expect it will be a Nice weekend, and I have been looking forward to it, not least because I'll get to see Bernie. But I'm frankly in a bad mood. This is been an incredibly rough week, and my emotional state in reaction to it has made me slightly nervous, truth be told, that the depression is starting to come back. That would piss me off beyond belief, let me tell you. It would be a testament to my abject and utter lack of coping mechanisms of any kind.

Now I have what looks to be a 4 1/2 hour drive ahead of me. Exactly what I need right now. Oh, well. I will try to be constructed with the time. Maybe I can brainstorm for some project or other, or at least catch up on a couple of TV shows like Netflix. I use them like radio.

Hey, that's my old hometown (and Steven Colbert's current hometown)! It's gentrified a lot since I was a kid, so I can only imagine that any wedding venue there is going to be gorgeous.

If you end up with extra time to wander around the town (which I doubt you will, but just in case) there's a really great bookstore on Bloomfield Ave. At least I HOPE it's still there!
