 3 grueling days of late night, well tonight not quite so late but it is almost 11 pm and I just got home.  The first night I was behind schedule because the plant took too long, but I got to the goal destination at Smith's Grove in Kentucky with exactly 1 minute to spare on my 14 hour clock.  The second day - up the plant and back to Smith's Grove - I had over an hour left on the clock then but I was burnt out, no need to drive any further, I thought, I can make the trip home tomorrow - which is today.

663 miles on the drive today and home sweet home. Nothing was assigned to me for tomorrow - and no I wasn't asking for anything.  With only 10 hours left on my 70 clock, I couldn't go anywhere, even a short trip, anyway.  The best I could do is pre-load for someone else and  - NO THANKS. 

34 hour reset, won't surprise me if they try to dump me with something on Tuesday.  I won't turn it down, I guess, but I won't want it, either. 

I dunno what's going on here, I haven't heard from anyone at the house in 2 days.  I did hear from Kim - the lady that Maria is living with - and that went on all day long yesterday.  She was talking about Maria.  Maria - hasn't texted me in almost 2 weeks.  She is in some sort of misery. Her life not going as she planned, I know she has some health issues but she is capable of spending half the day cleaning house, she is capable of doing something for a job, even a part time job would get her double the money the government is giving her right now.  I'm not judging her, really, but if she wants a better lifestyle, she's going to have to do something about it.  

For most people, money doesn't just fall into your lap.  

Whatever the case, Kim has as much complaints about Maria as Maria has about Kim.  That obviously isn't working out.  I'm not really sure the exact details because the sides give conflicting stories. I just know they are both miserable and it's time to move on.  Kim says she's moving to Arizona, the original plan, up to Prescott. She has the trust her dad left her - it's a very large chunk of change.  It has lots of stipulations, but it will buy her a house.  If she does that, I don't know what's going to happen with Maria.  Kim said that Maria told her she would rent the rooms in the house - but that won't pay the bills there. Yes, the master bedroom is a luxurious room  that could be rented for $600 per month - providing she can find someone.  But, even if she had all 3 rooms rented out and taking in $1,400 per month, that isn't going to cover everything.

Maria is in a bad place right now, I feel for her, but I don't want to be responsible for that anymore. It was costing me too much money.  I don't know if my current situation is permanent - tho I've been here for  a long time now - things change.  They always do.  I've never had a living arrangement that didn't end up "going away" and having to start over again.  I wish that weren't so, especially here, but I keep that in my mind.  I have no desire at this point in time in leaving this area for I am making money like I've never made before and getting ahead.  

Never know what the future holds.

Tomorrow? Well, the weekend is over so everyone here is off to work and school, well not James tho he put in an application at a previous employer that will likely hire him back.  It's over 50 miles from here, tho, that's a long commute every day.  

I dunno, but it's bedtime.  








 Merry Christmas! It's Christmas Day and Santa definitely showed up for the kids.  Yes, I have Christian friends who believe you are per...
