Sunday, morning.
Got up a few minutes ago and amazingly, everyone is still asleep. It's after 9:00 am lol. They did go and watch a movie with their crowd of friends they normally play cards with last night, tho. I was invited but I didn't feel like doing anything but staying home, watch a movie and go to bed.
My fatness has grown to the point where I can no longer stand it. I will be starting some version of Keto up again this week. 221 pounds needs to go down by at least 30 pounds. I've been doing intermittent fasting but it's not enough by itself.
I'm also getting a bit antsy about getting back to work. Meaning, I feel like I need to get a job and get some money flowing back in. It may be a bit irrational fear considering I still have plenty of money in the bank, but with the prospect of 28 grand worth of gravel, that money will be more than cut in half.
I'd like to stay in the tanker business since it's relatively easy work and usually pays a lot more. But, I'll take whatever pays well, at least 70k per year. I won't go below that, you're really cheating yourself if you're not holding out for the best paying jobs. I'd start looking now, but if I find something? They always want you to start immediately. Or, they put you down for an orientation and that is usually within 2 to 3 weeks (at most).
Although I don't really want to do it, flatbed work is the best for staying fit and in shape. I've been wearing heavy work boots at the property to get used to having them on all day long in case I end up getting a job where that is required. Whatever the case, my goal will be to find local work, home every day/night and not spend endless time out on the road. That is what was getting old about the last job.
The trucking industry in general was really irritating me tho, not just the job I had. I'm not missing it, at all.
I'm not sure about how I feel today. Feel as in work. I'd like to go to Lowe's get the pavers and get them - somehow - to the back of the property where they're needed and then continue on with that work. It's because I don't have the 4 wheeler. I could possibly get them on the big trailer, transfer them to the small trailer and attempt to try to back it in a few hundred feet to where the bridge is. No way can I drive straight in, I'll just get stuck with no way out back there. Well, there would be a way out by unloading the trailer, unhooking it from the SUV turning it around by hand, etc, no thanks. I've got about 8 steps left to cut out and then get them nice and level, pack them in and put gravel around them. Fortunately, I have plenty of gravel back there! lol
Who knows, but this is the end of this one.
G'day
