My Prime INC Experience. (A Running Log)

Ok, so, this is the first time in a while that I've been able to take the time to log onto TTR with my laptop as opposed to Tapatalk, so I can afford to be a bit more wordy than is the norm. Whether I choose to exercise that right or not is yet to be seen.

So, a bit of an update on my situation at present: I've got about 3650 miles on three trips this week, should have been two, but I had to swap loads with a team because Dodge City's Cargill had me waiting for my load o' cow butt for over 34 hours, and I couldn't solo that beast to Florida on time any more, which pushed my 'home time' back an extra day, meaning that I only get two off days before taking my stepfather to SPRIMO for PSD training. The positive to the swap, however, is that I got to run through the house en route, because my house is almost exactly halfway between SPRIMO and most every Florida run we have.

Now, on to Gainesville after my 90 finishes up, to spend Thanksgiving with the family, and take my stepfather up for his training which begins on the third.

I've begun the Bethel University classes, and I'm zooming right through them. In fact, through my misunderstanding of the deadline, I completed an entire class before the deadline for just the first unit.

During the writing of this post, I stopped and went to take the paperwork in to the 90's receiving office, and I slipped and fell. I can barely lift my arms or move my neck now, as well as banging up and scraping my shin and elbow pretty badly. This storm that has been following me since Denver has been out to get me, it seems. Went from 12 degrees on Sunday to nearly 80 degrees out now, from thick ice all over the road and my truck, to slick rain and puddles everywhere, with high winds and low visibility tossed in throughout the whole week. Finally reached a dry part here in Florida, then here comes the storm, tossing me on my back.

I'm hoping that it is just a muscle strain, rather than a pinched nerve or herniated disk, so I can recover fairly quickly and get back to work by Saturday morning. Otherwise, I'll have to spring for a bus ticket for my stepfather, and he'll get a different trainer, and I'll be out for the count. If I end up having to go to the VA, it could kill quite a bit of time, particularly if I have to try to make it back to Chatanooga first.

Well, at least I have a movie to watch.

 

Was nice to see you tonight.

Nope, didn't go to the doctor. Woke up the next morning, and it had already started easing enough. Good enough to get me to my mother's house. Stayed down for a couple days. Got my full range of motion back, though turning too fast or in certain directions, or lifting my arms too high still hurts. Should be right as rain in a few days.

Start CDL Instructor training tomorrow. Nice to have a full sized bed with bathroom and tv access.
