My sleep is really weird. One night I'll sleep 10 to 11 hours - when I'm home that is I don't ever do that on the road unless I am waiting on an appointment time or waiting on an empty trailer. The next night, I'll get 4 or less hours of sleep and be awake most of the night attempting to figure out - why I can't sleep. Nothing new, but when it happens on a night where I am getting up early for work to drive all day long?
Yeah, today was no fun. I have to really push myself to get to my destination on such days - today is Brownsville. Since it's Sunday I automatically assumed there would be no empty trailers down here, which gives me more motivation to get down here. That assumption was correct. 2 full trailers sitting there, no empty trailers but I didn't see any other drivers waiting. Odd, since there were two full trailers, usually they pull the loaded trailers out and then bring back empty ones for the waiting drivers. Tho it could be they might be around town somewhere and decided not to stay in this yard - which is full of trailers, the only place to park is out front, full of water-filled potholes and no bathroom.
I got here early, too, like probably the earliest I have ever arrived down here. I could almost take a hotel and make it worth it - but I'm too burned out to even drive out of this yard. I got the trailer dropped, my paperwork done, checked the other two trailers sitting there to ensure they are full and not empties and parked out front. I"m here for the night. I wouldn't mind having some wings from Wing Stop delivered. But other than that, I'm pretty fried right now, just that's its wayyyyy too early to be thinking about going to bed.
Yesterday - was interesting. James and the boys at a friends house, Taylor wanted alone time, but apparently not from me lol. We went to Lowe's, went to Chili's after that and then home, chatting and then having some conversation occur that I won't disclose on the internet. No, it wasn't sexual lol and no I'd never go after another' man's lady, but it was very personal stuff and would be inappropriate to disclose it here.
Despite that, we had fun with an empty house. Some friends of hers kept asking to come over, but she wasn't having it. Nothing wrong with the friends, she just wanted the house alone, no kids running up and down the hallways, screaming, crying, etc etc etc. My son texted me so after talking awhile, I gave him her phone number - he knows Japanese, she is learning it. They hit it right off since they are both into anime. Caleb, my son, is one of those people everyone loves. She ended up in the pool, I didn't feel like it. I went to bed with her still in the pool.
Their cat has decided to reclaim me as it's own after dumping me some months ago. So it sleeps on my bed now. Lol. Cats are unfathomable, can't figure them out, don't know what's going on in their minds, dogs get very jealous lol. Well there's two cats there, the other one wants nothing to do wtih me. I'm fine with that, my dogs are always down to get petted lol.
My son called me and wished me a happy father's day - we chatted for an hour about the degrading situation going on in this nation. He and his wife had finally decided to buy their first handgun. Citing the crap going on with rioting and overall desire to increase their own sense of safety.
He then told me they had X amount of dollars saved up - a pretty good chunk of change - for a down payment on a house. Their rent in their apartment is going up to $1,250 per month after their lease expires - which is really high. The reports I have been reading about the Phoenix area are apparently true with rising rent and housing costs. The American Dream is still alive and kicking, don't let the media fool you into thinking otherwise. My guess is they'll get a 4 bedroom house. Lots of those in that whole metro area. But if they're going to have kids, which he insists they are, they are going to need room for them. I dunno when they are going to take that route, I didn't ask, that's really not my business lol.
Well I think I'm going to end this. Drowsy, attention span waning, I may just very well go to sleep early.
