We're Back....

Woke up to these pretty flowers
It's been a month since my last post. Both Jeff and I have been sick with the flu and just starting to feel human again. We both lost our voices for several days....pretty quiet truck! As usual, we worked through the holidays, but now that we are home every other day, it didn't seem like we worked through the holidays. The weather has been cold, but not a lot of snow....however we have been off this week and being home in 60+ weather has been fantastic.

So shiny and pretty
Same old same old here. Still running from Denver to Oklahoma City three times a week. We love our company that we work for and are very happy with our truck. We are now going to be rotating with running from Denver to Midland, TX and then the following week Oklahoma City. This will not only give us a change of scenery, but also it will give us more time off in-between runs at home. This is the first holiday that we have worked at a company that was worth working through the holidays for. We didn't miss a beat. We are guaranteed our three runs a week, even if we run empty, .which makes it worth staying out for the holidays.

Home Away from Home
London's new collar
After off-loading in OKC we head for the terminal to fuel and then it is off to home away from home to park the truck and get out and enjoy the day. We don't load again until around 4-5 in the afternoon so we usually have at least 4-6 hours between loads. London loves our route, since we run at night he is usually sleeping through most of the drive and as soon as we are off-loaded he has our routine down. He loves the fabrication yard where home away from home is located. It is fully fenced and he rules the roost. He spends his afternoons chasing bunnies and has befriended Stinker the cat which stays in a room at home away from home. He is now donning a new collar which was made for him by Stinker's daddy Dave H. Waggoner. Dave as taken a shine to London and he can't wait for Dave to get home from work every night. His new collar makes him look like a big dog...he is pretty proud of it. Monogrammed with his name, it's pretty sweet.

It's been pretty quiet and drama-free around here lately....just the way I like it!
