Where the heck are you going

i’m moving from oregon back to my parents house on cape cod, in massachusetts! the addition my stepdad is building should be done by like, spring, so i’ll have basically a whole house to myself for a fraction of the rent, in a state where the minimum wage is higher than what i was making in oregon with a degree 

but i have to drive because you know, no other way to get my car back out there

Three Levels of Command in Japanese: て-form commands, なさい, な-commands, ...

Lisa is new to Seattle from Boston, and she just tried teriyaki for the first time! Last weekend her brother visited, and they speculated about what this strange dish could be. Nasai exemplifies Seattle teriyaki in its purest form, and it is way better than Tokyo Garden (teriyaki rivalries never die). So, glad Nasai got to be Lisa’s first. We were happy that she liked it and didn’t wonder what the fuss is about.

なさい

What exactly does the 'nasai (なさい)' stand for? I understood it is polite, but why, where does it come from?

It's actually a specific way of conjugating verbs which makes them polite commands. The -なさい conjugation is often used on other verbs by parents instructing their children, or teachers when controlling their students.

As others have pointed out, 休む（やすむ）means "to rest", and by using this conjugation, the speaker is instructing the listener to get some rest. The phrase おやすみなさい no longer carries such a direct meaning, i.e. it's just a greeting now instead of being a command, but that's where it comes from.
