Preparing

I'm working preparing the truck to hit the road again! Yay! Took some stuff back over to it today that I had taken home for the time I was stuck at home. My mom gave me a little microwave so I took it over to the truck to see if it would fit in one of the cubbies. And it did! Top shelf of course, but I'm gonna grab some bungee cords to hold it in. That will definitely help reduce some of my food expenses on the road.

The hand is much better than it was a couple of weeks ago but I still have to be careful how much pressure I put on it. It's aching today from lifting the microwave up into the truck (thank goodness for 800mg ibuprofen). For the time being, I'll definitely need to utilize the brace I'm getting for strapping loads. I probably won't be able to take tarp loads immediately since there is no way I can lift the tarps one handed and I can't yet put that much pressure on that hand. Strapping won't be a big issue. I can do it without putting a lot of pressure on that hand. I tend to use my whole body on top of the bar anyway to get it super tight.

So took the time today to also change the windshield wiper blades, clean windows, check the oil and power steering. Going to need to get some of the last two. Need to pull out the electric cooler and clean it out. Never knew that Mayonnaise could make such a mess after it's been frozen. It leaked out of the bottle all over the bottom of the cooler. Yuck!

I'm definitely ready to get back on the road. Being lazy for a little while is nice, but not for long-term. I need to get moving again. Need to get to earning that money again too!
