So this one will be fairly short because I'm really tired and need to get to bed soon. However, I can't help myself because watching my shows on netflix or hulu is too tempting. I know there are times that I should just go straight to bed especially when I have to drive when I wake up, but there are things that either I really want to do, or I have to do. Wants for instance: I'm currently watching the series "hero's" on netflix. Pretty awesome series! If you haven't watched it, I highly recommend it. People that have different kinds of abilities such as flying, time travel, it's an A+++ in my book! Other wants, posting blog entries, and chatting with friends and family on facebook.
Have to's: School work. I guess technically it is a "choice." I don't "have" to do my school work online, but I do really want my degree and in order to get that, I 'have' to do this. It's ok though. Since i'm only in one class at a time and not two, I'm finding it much easier to keep up. Lately I have felt like I would fall behind (even though I didn't fall behind.) However, I felt like it because I didn't get much done at all. I had the past 4 nights where I drove through out the night because of the way the load was. I ended up picking it up friday night to deliver from cali to missouri, and I ended up having to drive the night shifts to get it there on time. Otherwise I would have been late. So I get to the walmart distribution center in Harrisonville, MO, at 3:45AM, and then I finally left there at 7:30. I went to the closest flying j, parked, and did my inspection and put myself listed off duty. I was dragging so bad. I messaged my dm and said "hey, I'm having a major issue right now because of lack of sleep. I'm in no shape to drive for a bit, please do not reload me today. Instead, please reload me tomorrow morning so I can get some rest and recoup."
Well, he did reload me the next day, but not when I wanted. They gave me a load 2 hours away that was picking up at 4AM. I was like "damnit." So I tried to sleep through out the day, but had difficulty. I think it's safe to say I didn't sleep at all that day. I did get to meet up with my father-in-law Harry, which was really nice. So I literally layed in bed for 2 hours, not able to get to sleep, but feeling so tired. There have been quite a few days lately where I am broke and cant afford to really eat hardly at all, and I wonder if lack of nutrition can have a side effect or poor sleep. I'm sure it does! Seems like whenever I can get decent meal, like tonight I had gotten paid from CR England, and so I got some Chester's Chicken and okra, and then just about 30 minutes ago before getting online to do my homework, I went inside, got two gatorades and some nachos w/cheese, and then before starting my blog, heck, before finishing my homework, I'm sitting here on my bed, with the laptop on this lil pull out thing I use kind of as a counter for my computer, and I'm really drowsy. It's like "wow, I have felt exhausted, wiped out, tired, but not like this for days to the point where I know if I change into my sleep clothes and lay down, away I will go. I cant wait! But first, had to do homework and then come on here, and normally i would turn my trip packs in for payment by wednesday night, but with the holiday this week, our week was shortened and we have to turn all trips in by tonight at midnight instead. made for me having a short week. i think close to 2,000 miles. Just under it actually, which means maybe not much or any of a paycheck this next week, but hopefully I can hit 3,000 for the following week and make a $600 pay check.
So anyway, I'm going to call that it for tonight! Talk to you all next time!
