Headache.
Other than that not much aftermath from driving all night long. Haven't done that in a while and actually not regretting it since I'm home 10 plus hours earlier than I would have been otherwise. Whether that becomes a habit for future runs where driving all night would actually get me home faster remains to be seen.\
Tomorrow's run will make no difference. Instead of the Brownsville run I was initially given, i was relegated to a rather worthless Oklahoma run - now that our manager is dispatching again I suspect I will see a lot more of this garbage while witnessing at the same time certain individuals who will get one gravy run after another after another. Oh, well it won't make any difference for it is impossible to do that run in one day. I actually wouldn't care about that garbage if it also means getting a decent run afterwards and counting on this pay period's paycheck.
It's already noon-thirty, the day wasting away, tho I just got up a while ago so I at least have an excuse lol.
Well, let's see here. Jaxon apparently fell off the bunk bed and hit his head on the floor. Docs said no need to bring him in unless he shows specific signs - what those were I wasn't party to. He seems to be doing okay besides throwing up at breakfast.
James I just found out is going up to Missouri for 10 days. Temporary job from the uncle who needs some sort of fencing work, I believe he said, done. James is unemployed at the moment and failed the welding test, unfortunately, so this will be a boost for his income while he figures out what's next. Of course, that leaves the family here without him, I'll certainly help out in his absence on whichever days I may happen to be home. Taylor will want the help I'm sure lol. I wouldn't be surprised if she finds a friend to come stay for at least part of the time James is gone to help out with the kids. I can't be here every day, obviously.
Umm, I'm only doing some laundry today and I guess I'll go out in a minute to drain out the horse trough so it doesn't turn into an algae infested, mosquito larvea filled cesspool, tho I suspect it's already headed that way. Easy enough to drain it out with the pump and clean it out with the power washer.

Sunday morning. My original load that was going to Brownsville, ditched and given an Oklahoma run? Yeah, that changed as well. I've been downgraded to the worst run we have: Cheniere. I thoroughly and absolutely despise that place. Last of our drivers that was there said he was stuck there for 2 solid days. They wouldn't let him leave but they couldn't take the product either. A one day run - sometimes, usually not because they drag their feet and don't care how long you are stuck there - usually drags out to a second day. I have not been there in at least a year, probably much longer. Like a faded memory, another company took over that account and none of us drivers cared. Please take over that account and never give it away! It's not even 500 miles round trip of driving ,which adds to the nausea that this particular trip is.
