another update

Sunday 16th September:
What a week its been! its been so busy, its been hard to find time to sleep (don't worry pat is getting plenty of sleep, i've had to stay up to do things like laundry or keep an eye on our load being put on to let him know when they've finished). I think in a 2 day period i'd had a total of 7 hours sleep. Why had we been doing this? because we'd been stuck on driving at night time schedules and delivering early in the morning or really late at night. Thankfully though we stopped about 1pm the other day so we could get to bed about 6pm, i slept right through until 5am the next morning hehe. I felt a million times better afterwards though so its all good.

We've currently got a load on, it came from Alabama and is going to Wisconsin (which is the state we're in at the moment). To be delivered in the morning, we're only about 30 minutes down the road so thats no problem. That day we parked up early, something really annoying happened to our trailer - it got hit while we were inside having something to eat. Its a curtain side which is why its been a bit of an issue, the curtain partially ripped and with a load on (and the wet weather we've been having), we had to rig it up with wire and duct tape to keep the load from getting wet. Chances are the company is going to want us to go to the terminal here in wisconsin to fix it - you can't haul anything with it the way it is, heck we're going to have to undo what we've done so the people can unload whats on there.

Pat is going to ask his fleet manager if we can take our home time a few days early since we'll be at the yard, and they wont have to deadhead us twice (deadhead is what they call it when you travel places without a load - they're not making money which is why they don't like to do it too often). Not to mention our truck needs a couple of things looked at like the cigarette lighter in the back that we need functioning for our cooler and other electronics.

I found my necklace yesterday YAY, and all because my bookmark slipped down beside the bed. Its been missing for a few weeks now (the necklace), and i was a little worried i wouldn't find it seeing as how i looked in 99% of the nooks and crannies this place has. Turns out that under the side table there's a little dip down that it rolled under. Buts its all good now, and i've got it in a safe place so i wont lose it again.

I've got some photos from the past couple of weeks off the camera, its just a matter of uploading them to the blog. I'll do that tonight if we get the okay to go back to the house.

Hope everyone is well, safe and happy, love you guys!
