Oh to be as happy as my sweet sweet babies!
Today was a long day; almost 250 miles for 3 claims! They weren't even that far apart from one another. I've decided that WV might just be against having shoulder on their roads. I so thought I was going down the mountain the hard way today. I met a Fedex van and for a while it was a battle of who was going to keep their side mirrors. In the end we both did , but he's clearly more experienced than me. I had some huge setbacks with my computer not working correctly today. I wanted to get so much more done that I did, but oh well there's always tomorrow.
The highlight of today was finding a Starbucks. An honest to goodness stand alone with a drive thru Starbucks. Not the greatest one I've ever had, a bit too sweet, but it was still yummy coffee goodness.
I'm still struggling trying to find a little bit of happy out here. My friend Brandi and I are meeting on Wed and hopefully she can clue me into as to what's so great about living here. I find mountains and the insane vegetation claustrophobic. I honestly get a bit panic-y when I'm driving in the mountains. It's all too much, small roads, trees too close, and not really knowing what direction you are headed except around the mountain! I talked to both H and Sue today about how I'm feeling and they were both sympathetic. I think we've all had this assignment more than once in our careers. I really think I'm reaching my breaking point with travel. 9 years really might be enough, time to buckle down and really work on paying off my debt so I can find a "normal" job.
