Today, I had a very inconvenient errand to run.  I convinced hubby that it is ok that I drive and do it myself.  I told him that I totally understand that his work needs him right now and that he cannot drive me there.  I kept re-assuring him that I have been driving for 10 years with a manual transmission and driving an automatic will definitely be a breeze.

I guess, he is just so concerned that I will be driving on my own and whilst pregnant.  Even Karen offered to do the errand for me as she is nearer to it than me coming from the office.

I had to re-assure both of them that I can do this and it is ok.

It’s the first time since we bought Cali (our Dodge Caliber… I just named it that whilst typing this post! Hahaha) that I drove it on my own.  I remember the second time I drove it after months of no driving, I was unusually nervous.  All my life I am known for being “malakas ang loob” or a fighter against my fears.  Anyway, since then, I didn’t dare drive.  I figured it’s the pregnancy that’s making me nervous so I didn’t think ever driving again until after my delivery.

Today…. Whilst driving, I realized how much I DO miss driving.  For a girl who absolutely loves being in control, I forgotten that driving is an ultimate “control” and therefore, as blissful as having a deep dark chocolate dessert after a sumptuous meal.  I can’t seem to enjoy chocolates these days… so at least, I discovered that I can get that bliss from driving.

Well, I think it will be a while until hubby lets me drive on my own again. Hehehe… so it was great that I got to enjoy it today!  It sure was a nice discovery… that I just miss driving pala…
