Vacation Hangover

10/29:  My first day back at work after a week off.  What a lousy day.  I made the mistake of leaving too many errands to do yesterday before leaving for work.  It got so late in the day that I decided to just go to bed early and leave home at two o'clock this morning.  It's only 3:45 in the afternoon and I'm shattered.  I won't make that mistake again.  The thing is, I didn't have it in me to leave last night by the time I had everything packed and ready to throw in the car.  Sometimes you just have to live with your decisions.

 10/29:  The way the day started I thought it was going to be a repeat of yesterday.  I left White River at 5:15 this morning hoping to arrive in Winnipeg by 4:30 in the afternoon to make a delivery.  Even with 7 hours good sleep under my belt I was fighting to stay alert all the way up to Nipigon.  I arrived in Dryden at about 12:30 Winnipeg time.  It was raining.  No way I would get to Winnipeg from Dryden in less than 4 hours.  A 4:30 afternoon delivery wasn't in the cards.  I stopped for lunch.  There's always tomorrow morning.

Winnipeg:  Well, it's a good thing I didn't try to do a delivery today.  I arrived at the Flying J with 0 minutes left on my EOBR.  (Electronic On Board Recorder for those of you not in the know)  Lot's of thoughts coming your way on EOBR's in the near future.

At the very least I'm going to get a really good night's sleep out of this day.
