Now that was a very different week!

My Buddy K.O. had a driver fall while getting in his truck and injured his back. K.O. told me they were slammed (meaning they were maxed out in equipment dispatch) and he wanted to know if I could help out. He asked if I would run the injured drivers truck for three days.

So, I ran Abilene to Lubbock hauling cross-docks.

This could be a really cushy run, IF the vendor could meet scheduling. The first night I had a nine pm. pickup for my second load. It was ready at 1 am.

I had an 8am. appointment with an insurance adjuster. I made it back with almost an hour to spare.

I got two brief naps totalling 52 minutes before I met Memama and Pat to look at head-stones.

When we were through I went to get my 3pm load, which was ready at 4.

I told K.O. this wouldn't be a bad run if that was all I had to do. A single is a piece of cake, while a double will wear you out pretty good.

For me the worst part is the waiting. I am not a good waiter.

I got to go to the farm Thursday and Friday.

On my way home Friday I picked up a weekend guest who is staying at our house. Her name is Oreo and she is a Chweenie. She belongs to my friend who went out of town so we are puppy sitting. We are so lucky to have our three pups to help!

Oreo thinks she is as big as our dogs and struts her stuff, eats from their bowls and is almost always ready to play.

We all slept remarkably well once everyone found their spot. Oreo slept until 5:46 when I let her and the redhead out to do business, then it was back to bed.

Oreo is sleeping now, laying on my forearm with her head in my hand. She is ROTTEN!

Today I am blogging doing a one hand three finger tap dance on the keys.

I've got lots to do here at the house and want to do none of it!

Have a weekend!

FATHER, we ask for YOUR rain blessing.
