 Saturday night.

After a very long day, it is finally over.  I am home.  I pulled the truck up in front of the house and the 8 year old came out yelling and jumping up and down.  It was a rather surreal experience walking back into the house. It had been so long.  

The dog remembered me, but we hadn't been together very long, I knew it would be like starting over.  And so it is.   

I just now got into my bedroom after being home several hours.  Had to visit with everyone and the kids wanted me to sit on the couch with them.  

Yes it is good to be home.  I am so tired.  I finally get to sleep in my own bad after 20 days.  It has been a rather horrid experience that I do not ever want to revisit again in my lifetime. It was no vacation, it would have been a lot better if I could have at least got some decent sleep. I have never heard or seen a setup such as the one I have described repeatedly in previous posts about that ridiculous bunk house.  

 Whatever the case, I have no plans for tomorrow, tho I may go to church and will definitely visit my park, I have no gumption to do much of anything beyond collecting rents that are past due. Not the fault of the park tenants that are at that point, I just let some of it go until getting back.  They are only a few days past, it's not like weeks.  

One of them contacted me today declaring she has never been late on her rent and it is due today. Yes, ma'am, but I'm driving right now and I just can't collect today. She seemed on edge about. It's my fault for not getting the rent, I'm not there, no worries.  That seemed to relieve her tensions and so, I will be visiting with her and another person that is acting out a bit too much about dog poop. I think that problem has been resolved, there is no reason for her to carry on like she has been.  

I get it, it's gross, it's nasty to have it laying all over the place, but the man has been set straight about his dog.  Keep an eye on it while it's out, don't let him just poop anywhere and then leave it. That's nasty and not allowed. 

 I don't know what else, I'm so out of it and the drive was so long today.  I just pushed it hard to get it done. They added hundreds of miles to the trip forcing me to take that trailer to the yard.  They didn't need it, it's just waste water. It will get unloaded and stored with a bunch of other totes filled up with that stuff. It isn't hazmat and won't hurt anyone.  

So, off to bed for me and hopefully a good night's sleep. 

 At a truck stop somewhere in southern Kansas. Nice place. However. Not one, not two, but three reefer units parked side by side right next to me after I had gone to bed. The noise was ridiculous. 

I didn’t get enough sleep last night. 

489 miles to El Dorado and then home. 

Plenty to say but I’m not on the computer and I just logged in. 10 minutes and I’m leaving. 

G’day. 

 Friday late-morning Typical morning when there is no work.  It was, I should say, until the new guy called.  "There's nothing wron...
