    Today is the day that I leave everthing that I know and step into the unknown... well except for Klingon - I know him - LOL! He is at the motel already and will be there all weekend... so I'll get to see him before I start my side of this journey.

    I have such a hodge/podge mix of feelings going around and around inside me. Didn't really do much sleeping last night - my mind was WAY to busy. Guilty for leaving, and leaving what I feel are our responsibilities (Momma) - but I know we covered that/her as much as possible. Sad for leaving the comfortable routine, the people and the lifestyle I know. Scared of the unknown and possibilites of failure. Nervous about the process. Grateful for friends and family for being there and stepping in when needed/asked!! Excited (yes that is in there too) about new beginnings and adventures. There is even a bit of guilt for feeling so excited about leaving...

    As I type this I am 2 hours away from leaving the house and 4 hours away from leaving Sacramento. Wish me luck :D

    I can imagine that you are filled with mixed emotions right now. One side of your mind is nervous and feeling a bit guilty about leaving home and family, but the other side is excited and anxious to start a new career and lifestyle. Best of luck to you Lady K.

    LadyK you guys will be fine! Keep in mind too that husband/wife teams are very valuable to Central and they are definitely going to want to see you succeed. Plus I think with you all's personalities you are going to go a long way! Quit your worrying! Stress makes you get sick! Have fun this weekend. I am sure you will get to hear a lot of stories.

    Well I made it through security - but the lock on my duffles they wanted the key for - LOL! Thank goodness I left the explosives at home :biggrin_25523: Now I begin my first practice for being a trucker - the wait... only for an hour for a 'live load' - from what I understand, that's not a bad amount for a wait time - :biggrin_2559:

    Don't feel all alone when it comes to the proverbial "hodgepodge of feelings"...after two stints in this industry totaling almost a dozen years now, I still have those feelings....if not on an hourly basis, certainly from week to week!

    Be safe, and the very best to you!
