Sunday - afternoon

What I didn't want to do this morning, what I abhorred doing this morning? Getting up at 5:00 am.  There was nothing in me to force me out of bed but sheer willpower to get the day rolling and get it over with.  I was still incredibly fatigued from the previous night' lack of sleep. OH yes, I slept well this time but it wasn't enough.  At least, until now. I feel fine now.

Anyway, I get up to the plant in Gurdon, drive down the driveway that goes into the plant where the scales are and what do I find? The gates are closed and locked! 

First off, I have newer seen those gates being used before regardless of the day of the week it is. Second, there is no way to flip a Uey there. Third? Well I called them.  What is with the locked gates?  Well the plant is under lockdown, you'll have to go around to the main gate (there are 4 gates).  

Umm, I can't turn around here, I'm going to have to back down this driveway (about 800 feet) and then back into the highway. There isn't much visibility for that. Umm I can't help you with that! WTH

I backed down that driveway - not a big deal - but backing blindly into a 2 lane highway with lots of traffic? Yes, a big deal.  I did it without running into anyone and went all the way around to the other side of that gate where the scales are. 

So what's the big deal here? The security guard said that someone had been fired and had called in death threats and threatening to shoot up the place.  Gee, that's just what I want to be in the middle of on a Sunday morning....

And what is with people going into rages like that?  Let's just kill people because - excuses?  Like, your life must truly suck to be threatening to act out like that.  Get help. Better yet, get Jesus!  Or repent and ask Him for forgiveness more like it. 

I forced myself to drive all the way back without stopping. I wanted to stop and take a nap, NOOO. Do that at home! Get this junk over with now!  So I did. Got home, went to Applebee's - the kids were insisting and I didn't mind that much since I don't have anything else pressing today - and now safely home and sitting at my bedroom desk.  

Although a little late, I intend on taking my Sunday afternoon nap after writing this, in fact, I can finish this later...

Yeah - no. Not feeling it at all. My voice is down an octave, my lungs are congested and I have a slight sore throat.  Headache, flu symptoms, crud.  Going to bed.
