It has been a great week so far. I made my delivery over 1300 miles in 2 days! That's not a record for me, but it is a good haul for just getting over the cold from hell. I am feeling a lot better than I was last week at this time, but I still have a way to go before I kick this awful cold. It is still hanging on but I think I have it on the run.
Got back to the yard and my load was sitting there ready and waiting for me. I love that! It makes my life so much nicer not having to switch my sleeping schedule, and not having to wait for 10 or more hours to head back home. I left right away and made it up to Wytheville VA with time to spare. I would have kept going but I was about 30 min short of making it to the next god parking stop for the night. It is pretty awful that I now know every single place to park and fuel on this entire interstate. I have driven every single mile of it twice a week for 3 years now, I guess I should know it well.
I got in here just in time for the storm that was coming to hit full force. It dropped a bunch of snow, and the wind is blowing so hard that the truck is rocking back and forth like a baby's cradle. I am sure that will help me sleep well tonight.
I will most likely get home tomorrow evening just after suppertime. A nice hot shower and a good nights sleep will be in order. I know the weather tomorrow is not going to be a lot of fun and the drive is 10 hours easily. Should make for a long day.
No set plans for the weekend other than maybe seeing my friend John on Friday, and an oil change for the car. Hope everyone out there is doing well. I'm off to bed.

good to hear that your feeling better, at least you managed to work thru it. I hate when i have to do that.
when my husband drove all over michigan deliving wood flooring, he learned all the resting areas well. Every time we drive up north he can tell me how long till the next one. I rarely travel outside my city and i have lived here all my life..My husband has only lived here 16 years and he knows michigan better than i do..lol
That sure is one nasty bugger of a lingering cold you've got yourself there, matey! Geebus - hope it's gone already!
I know it's no comparison, but when my kids were little, we used to know every single place to stop along the way between home and Sydney, for all sorts of comfort or stretch breaks. All the parks, nooks and crannys off the road to pull over and get a quick breath.
Awww... mother natures' rocking you to sleep tonight, huh? How Loverly lol. Hope you arrived safely back home with your loved ones, matey.
