Life is good no matter how bad it is. There always seems to be a little remnant of sunshine somewhere and I just recently found a great big ray of it.
My company truck has been in the shop since Saturday morning. At first, I was able to sleep in it at night, which as an over the road truck driver, means I was sleeping in my own bed. Each day, the mechanics would tell me they needed to look at this one more thing and they would be doing it later that day. Each day, they found something new and it would be ready the next day. Now, it's in a new shop 30 miles away from the hotel and I'm starting to run low on important things, like healthy food and underwear.
The hotel is nice. The one I was supposed to stay in had flooded and had lost 14 rooms, so I was forced to go to the fancier hotel next door. The company will be reimbursing me, so I'm not worried about the cost of the hotel, but I'm super antsy and I want to get back to work! So, I have been trying to make the best use of my time. I've gotten a few projects done, I've worked out and I've started this blog!
I took a walk and found blackberries. I snagged a cookie and some almonds from the hotel lobby and I already had some butter. Oven? Microwave. I'm not sure this even qualifies as pie, but it's delicious and I love that I made it with stuff I already had or found and that it's relatively healthy compared to other sweet tooth options.
So, what is this about? It's about being financially, mentally, and physically healthy in a mobile world. My world is a little more mobile than most and comes with it's own special challenges. Er, um, I mean, opportunities for growth! Yay!
The pseudopie is done. It's messy and delicious.
