that the new job is going to work out in my favor. So far, I am running in the negative thanks to 4.00 a gallon gasoline and 70-100 miles a night run distance. We shall see once I get paid if I will keep it or run for the hills. On top of this, I am getting no sleep and everyone in the house is staying a bit on the grumpy side… since they have been graciously helping me… and getting no sleep either.
I don’t work “for” the newspaper… I am a contract carrier and as such, I can use whomever I please to help run the route. To get done faster, we have been splitting the route and both of my men have been working it. The boy reads directions and box numbers out to the Hubs and they run one side of the expressway and I run the other. Their side is mostly right off the road… and mine runs out in the boonies… and partially into another county. I found subdivisions that I had no idea existed and I have lived here for the last 15 years. Several are the mega dollar hoods… with mansions and the mini me versions right along side them.
Temps have been in the 90′s and with us being extremely broke… we have not turned on the air yet. UGH… have you ever tried to sleep while your skin slowly roasts? I know sweating is good for the body to get rid of toxins… and I swear I must be running on pure blood… cuz the only time I am not sweating is when I am out in the cool night air running papers.
I am hoping that something breaks in a good way in the money dept soon… so the worries will let up on these tired old shoulders. Not sure how much more stress this old body can take.
Hopefully next time I will have something more positive to convey to my one reader… (Hey Sally!)
Til then… hasta manana
