Since I last blogged, I've gone on a few drives. On July 3, I drove to Silver Spring. This was not a huge far distance conquering drive for me, but it's a distance I want to be more comfortable with. I still have to bring calming tea in the car with me and I still have to prepare for it. I want driving to Silver Spring to feel like driving from Towson to Bel Air, which is where my parents live and does not cause me anxiety.
Silver Spring is about an hour drive and about 50 miles from my apartment. It's only about twenty minutes/twenty miles from Columbia, where I used to live, so it doesn't feel that far. I took Route 29 all the way to Silver Spring. Route 29 has become one of my favorite roads because it's like a small highway. There are stoplights every once in a while but mostly it's just a small highway with lots of exits. I never feel like I can't get off or turn around.
My goal of driving to Silver Sring on the 3rd was to look at places and see where I may want to live. The two people who were supposed to show me their places never responded, so I just kind of drove around. I got off 29 on a few exits before Silver Spring to see if there are any nice areas between Columbia and Silver Spring. I didn't end up finding exactly where I want to leave, but I made the drive which is the important part.
