The curse of Abe Lincoln

Well here I am. I finally got rid of the Arm & Hammer load I was hauling in Bolingbrook, IL. Only to lose not one but BOTH of my next two loads that would have taken me to Ft. Collins, Co.
Why? because I had to spend 3 hours chasing around trying to get the right kind of empty trailer (yes there is a wrong kind). That time wasted made it so I did not  have time to do the actual load! So here I sit in the truck stop in Morris, IL, down for the night; with the SAME trailer I started with!!! UGH!!!
On the home front, my wife is going first to one of her Doctors to get her bad knees looked at (they are a mess, no cartilage!) Then it's off to her friend to swill beer and spend my money,
I am looking forward to finally getting home, it seems to take forever! I have been thinking alot about where we should live and although my heart says Phoenix, practical considerations say somewhere around Riverside, CA. In Phoenix we are VERY isolated from all of her family and really only have a few friends. If anything happens to her there is no one there to help, not a great situation for Sharry to be in. At least out in Cali she is near people that care about her and can help out, look in on her and make sure shes okay.
So really; as much as i kind of really don't want to be in California it is the logical thing to do.
I have been playing both sides of the fence for a while now and still hold an AZ CDL with an AZ address even though I have not seen Arizona in almost 5 months. (car is still licenced in AZ as well)
I guess I really need to get my CDL switched to CA and address as well as the car. I guess I have been putting it off this long because doing these things means the move is real and long term and in a lot of ways I feel like I have failed in not being able to keep us in Phoenix.
Time for me to admit that this part of my life is done, on to the next. Today is a very appropriate day for this to happen; October 31- Samhain-the pagan new year, and with it the wheel of the year turns anew. The end of one cycle the beginning of another. What will happen next? Turn the page.
Until next time-the road less traveled always has the best scenery.
