Today is one of those days where I'd rather be doing anything but driving. Knitting, sewing, cooking, reading... Wait! Reading! Yes, I want to stop this truck and read. Spend the day curled up on my bunk, a cup of hot Gingerbread tea close at hand as I lose myself in the book my son picked out for me for Christmas; Zen and the Art of Knitting.
Sounds heavenly but not today. Today I'm making my way to Kansas City. Oh, I have plenty of time. I don't have to be there til Monday which means that when I stop I can get that cup of tea and relax. Maybe get a bit of knitting done. Knitting you ask? Yes, I knit. I'm currently working on this brilliantly red scarf for my son. I had hoped to get it done before I left out again right after New Years but alas it wasn't meant to be. I am, however, about 90% done.
Did that ruin your vision of what a trucker is? Sorry about that, but I'm not your average driver to be honest. I don't think there really is an 'average' driver anymore. Do you think plaid shirts and base ball caps when someone says trucker? Maybe you think Smokey and the Bandit or BJ and the Bear or even Convoy when they mention it. Sorry to burst your bubble but that's not me either. Oh, don't get me wrong, I love those movies! But I gave up outrunning the cops several years ago. Shh! Don't tell them though it gives them something to do.
So what's on the menu for tonight? Ah, but I'm tired and not in the mood to cook so I've stopped in Concordia, MO to eat in the truck stop. I know I'll regret that as most food to be found in truck stops is either greasy or bland. But tonight, it'll have to do.
See you next time!
