I had been thinking of giving myself a vacation if I'd gotten the job, but I didn't.

A lot of times, when I'm really upset -- like now -- I just want to get in the car and drive. Would it be safe just to sleep in the back of my SUV at rest stops on the road? I am a 58 yr old female. Plus, I've never even been camping in my whole life.

this is probly a dumb idea

The idea of wanting to get away is NOT dumb ... but you need to do it faerody's way my dear.

I know I am not in the US and don't know your state at all but here is my analogy:

Here, there are big road campaigns for drivers to 'pull off and have a nap if they are tired'.

To anyone half in their right mind, this is a ridiculous proposition.

I got a flat tire one night about an hour out of the city heading down to the beach, and I was lucky enough to have it happen by some LOVELY people's farm, and they were so cool - they changed to my spare of me and I had cups of tea and chatted with them a while - you know sometimes you just meet really nice people

Anyway, we started talking about this VERY thing - they live in the area and they're like, you as a young female pulling OFF THE ROAD into little tree-y grassy areas, and having this 20 minute power nap in your car is ASKING for trouble.

I actually feel like making a complaint to LTSA about what they are trying to do with the campaign - but *sigh*, I guess stopping tired drivers is their core message, not protecting ppl ... it's a perfect opportunity to get mugged really.

Anyway - I wouldn't stop in a 'rest area' for a 20 minute power nap, let alone sleeping in my car, and I would hate to see you put yourself in danger ...

Please take care xoxo
