Music is necessary for my mental health

Good thing the Kia Niro has my phone GPS and music integrated and when the GPS needs to talk it quickly fades out the music and says what it needs to say and then fades the music back in. I love that feature! .

I also yell at M to shut up while she continues to talk. I'm about to miss a turn. I'm driving in traffic that I have to weave around. We could die any second. I'm trying to figure out what to do next. I know the voice will tell me what to do next.

High stress moment. Life and death decisions. Or merely being late. We're about to miss a plane. It's usually about to miss a plane since that's the only time I drive nowadays.

And M continues to talk over the voice but now is talking louder. And I miss the turn. And then I have 10 minutes drive around and pull a u-turn and explain to M that she has to shut up when the b**** is talking. The b**** is telling me what to do. You are not telling me what to do at that moment, the b**** is telling me what to do, and you are talking over the b****. Can you tell I have a love-hate relationship with my GPS?
