so made it safely there and back again with many misadventures and a lot annoying things happening and car camping in parking lots and way to many screws in tires and expenses … but made it safely back and took a shower and went to bed…now looking for work every where..

Cross country trips go by slightly faster if driving yourself, but rather difficult to nap along the way.
Get motion sickness myself, so much sympathy there. Ginger pills seem to help a little, but best is a large window and some fresh air.
I drove cross country to look at houses in Arizona with my parents. We stopped at Las Vegas, but I find gambling extremely not for me. Driving across the country was one of the most terrifying and stressful things I have dealt with so far.
I once took a greyhound bus from Parkersburg, WV to Kansas City, MO for work, I vowed never to go by bus again, I had a 34 hour trip for a 20 hr drive with 14 hours of layover, my first layover was supposed to be at an outdoor bench but I was there early and the next driver was doing the same route so he let me go in early, then I had a 10-12hr layover in Columbus Ohio, sadly I asked the next route driver since I was early, could I take the 10am instead of the 6pm I was supposed to take since I was there before 10, they told me no. I had been told by the woman at the desk there was a free lunch if your layover was over 10hrs, asked how I claim my free lunch, the next woman I talked to said no free food.
It's possible to drive from New York City to Los Angeles in 42 hours. But public transportation is notoriously inefficient at getting to places fast. When I was younger, I remember taking Amtrak from Pittsburgh to Albany NY took 14 hours, now I can drive there in 7. Seatmates are a very mixed bag, I guess if you get a quiet one who doesn't scream, you're doing OK. I can still smell the Greyhound bathrooms and it's been 20 years since I was last on one. Sorry about your motion sickness, I seem to be immune to it but it can make life miserable for others. If you ever have to go back to Idaho again, I'd recommend taking a plane instead, it's more money up front but cheaper for the duration, and only takes a few hours (plus an hour or so to drive from Spokane to Sandpoint).
Amtrak is more expensive than flying. There's a lot more you can do on a train though, especially on the trains with observation decks. My sister and I drove from DC to Los Angeles in 40 hours when she moved. But that was straight driving stopping only for food, gas, and bathroom breaks. She, her husband, and I drove in 8 hour shifts nonstop while the others slept in the back, and we smelled pretty bad by the end of the trip. It is a big country. Texas alone can take more than a day to cross if you're driving by yourself. Houston to El Paso is further than the trip I drove from Frankfurt, Germany to Warsaw, Poland.

Happy to hear that you're done with this trial business and that you're now back to Texas and foxes and hugs. :)
