update: looks like they're leaving the bridge closed overnight, so I'm stranded until then. luckily one of the churches up here is offering room for the night, otherwise I'd be headed 150 miles south back to the MIL -_-
I'm not going to bitch much. theoretically it means I make the entire drive tomorrow in the sunshine. and I have lte phone service and a phone charger with me. and my own pillow and blanket. and a warm place
part of me is laughing that with all the wildfires and ice storms and floods and everything else, the first time I need to go to a shelter is the bridge closing
