On the Road Again

Well, he's on the road again and I'm left here with nothing to do. My husband drives this heavy duty tow truck. Lots of times he has to go out of state for his job. People think it's strange when I tell them that my tow truck driving husband has to go all over the states on runs. They're thinking of the regular tow trucks you see on the street every day and I have a hard time describing the truck he drives and what he does with it. He does the roll over accidents, tows semi trucks and busses and hauls stuff all over the place. When 9/11 happened, he had to go to New York to help out FEMA bringing all sorts of stuff the emergency crews needed for the job of search and recover and then the clean up afterwards. When the hurricanes hit New Orleans, he had to go down with generators and things that FEMA needed in that disaster. He was three and a half weeks driving back and forth in all the effected states in the area bringing them the things they needed at the time. Now he's taking a de-icer truck down to Mississippi Airport. Sometimes, when he goes on runs that only last a few days, I go with him. Unfortunately, I took last week off instead of this week so I couldn't go with him on this run. So I decided to clean out the laundry room on my day off today. That's the room that is a catch all for everything that we're too lazy to put where it actually belongs at the time, so we just throw it in there until whenever. Well, too much stuff was accumulating in that room, so since I didn't have anything to do and my husband is out of town, I decided to get to work in the laundry room disaster area. Oh, what fun.
