Mood:  irritated
Now Playing: Phoenix, AZ
Ok, so we went home on the 21st and came back on the 27th. We didn't get a single thing done the whole time we were home either. Hometime always goes by too fast. Now we're sitting in Phoenix at a truck stop doing laundry and showers before we go on to Tuscon to pick up our load to Chicago. Well.. I'm in the truck, Swerve is inside doing laundry. I don't have a single pair of clean jeans to put on and he's got like twice as many clothes as I do and he's had a shower since I have so he usually gets to do laundry. So, in just a few weeks we're taking our hometime and vacation time together so we can go to Indiana and visit his family. We drive all month long at work and then we go home and take a trip that's 900 miles in either direction. But it'll be nice to go up that way in a car we can actually stop and do stuff and look at things.

Oklahoma City, OK
Mood:  lazy
So we're headed back east. We have to be in Tennessee by 10Am tomorrow and if we get there early we get a hundred dollar bonus, woo hoo! I'm pretty tired now. I just drove from the Arizona-New Mexico state line to here. We'll be home in about 6 days or so, maybe we can go home early. Technically we'll have been on the road for 30 days as of the 20th, so anytime after that isn't really going home early. I should have requested time off for Wendsday not Saturday. I guess that means no bar hopping this hometime either.. unless we get home early. But whatever, I'll try to talk them into letting us go ahead and go home before 5pm Friday or else the night and weekend dispatchers are likely to send us 2000 miles in the wrong direction. Hey, if you ever wanna chat with me on Yahoo, I'm xxx_weaver_xxx. Crap I'm tired.

Morrilton, AR
Mood:  hungry
OK, so I did drive out. My headache is gone for right now, now it's just my eyes. They're so dry. They feel like I've been awake for days. I even got pulled into a weigh station and had to show my log book... I know it's because my eyes are all droopy and bloodshot. Then the guy didn't even look at the log book he just stared at my tits, handed me the book back, and waved. He didn't even turn to the right page..or even a page that was filled out for that matter. But whatever.. I should have yanked my shirt over my head and yelled "TA DA!" But it woke Swerve up, well.. that and the fact that Arkansas' bumpy road were bouncing him a foot off the bed. Even the Evil One came up to bite my ankle, she does that if I hit a lot of bumps and bounce her around or if we're going over mountains and her ears pop. When we go home we're going to have to hold the Evil One down and put more Soft Paws on her. They're little plastic caps that glue on over her claws so she can't scratch and doesn't have to be declawed. But whatever, I'm like wasted I'm so tired suddenly. We just got fuel though so we're good to go all the way to Gallup,NM. Only $350 dollars worth of fuel... Glad I'm not paying for it. Oh, here's the Evil One doing what she does best.. eating. She's eating an apple by the way.

West Memphis, Arkansas
Mood:  crushed out



Ok so here I sit at the Petro in West Memphis. I'm so bored but I don't want to drive right now. I've been getting nasty headaches and I'm ok to drive during the day but at night they seem worse, they eyestrain I guess. Besides, I told them I was stopping here. The Evil One is asleep on my toes, and Swerve is curled up in the sleeper with MY PILLOW! We've gotta be in California by the 20th and it's only like 1750 miles and if we leave outta here at 11AM Eastern time we'll still get there two days early and we'll be able to drop this damn load and get showers and laundry. I don't think I'm driving when we leave out, I don't know. I feel like crap suddenly. Our dispatcher is going to have kittens when he finds out we sat here all night like this. I did send a message though, and they said ok. Still.. whatever, I'll get Swerve to drive if I still feel bad, he'll bitch but I'll end up doing most of the driving west anyway. God my head. I think it's my cigarettes, I need to switch brands.


Oh yeah, here's a pic of the Evil One. Hmm.. I can't find a pic of Swerve, I'll take one today sometime.
