Engagements and traffic

I had an engagement session with a fun couple yesterday, Casey and Matt. We met at a park in Taylor, Michigan. The engagement session started out dry, but it didn't stay that way for too long.

After we walked to our first location, the gazebo, it starting raining. You wouldn't know it, but the photo posted with this entry, they are getting wet. They were awesome and didn't complain once. I was also thankful they were both wearing dark colors. It helped hide the rain drops from being seen in the photos. For the rest of the session, it continued to rain off and on.

On the way home, I was going smoothly on I-94 West. Over by Metro Airport, my speed dropped from almost 80 miles per hour to 60. I thought there was a crash or a cop pulled someone over, so I waited patiently while it felt like we were crawling. After continuing on for a couple of miles, none of those listed above were the cause for the slowdown. Everyone just slowed down for no apparent reason.

About a mile away from my turnoff to US 23 South, I tried to get around a slow semi. I merged into the most right hand lane. I saw the US 23 exits in front of me. But then I realized it was the wrong US 23. The lane I was in was an exit only for 23 North. I wanted 23 South but I was blocked in. I turned on my blinker hoping the car behind the slow semi would let me in. A Saab was the car behind the semi. The woman driving the Saab didn't let me in. I was forced to take the wrong exit. Twenty minutes later, I was finally back on US 23 South and going in the right direction towards home.

When I arrived home I was so tired. I do not envy people that have to drive on the interstates everyday. My drive was 133 miles round trip and it wore me out. I had no energy the rest of the night. During dinner I couldn't stop yawning. By 8:30 pm I could hardly keep my eyes open. I went to bed at 8:45 pm. It was a good day except for the three hours I was stuck in my car driving.
