Found out today that I am going to orientation November 9th for averitt express as a regional driver based out of Lexington. Pretty excited by this
When it rains it pours they say
Yep it was about time I had to spend some money on it, better now than on some dark highway in the middle of a blizzard!
Or a Lonely Dark Highway somewhere in South Dakota..
I would melt, from the inside out.
Or combust.
Perhaps it would cure the Acute Maxillary Sinusitis I am one week now on Penicllin for, 2 more to go.
Wanted to remove 4 Molars with a Hammer and use that Drill Bit Fastman brought up from the Deep South on my right cheek. Excruciating, debilitating Pain...still having breakthrough slight pain, but can function with this and Tylenol. I know, I'm whining.

After sitting for about 3 days, landed a 1400 miler for the weekend. Fair enough!
Thanks Mailer, I'm getting there. I've seen my Internist since 1989. She knows and I know, if this tough ole broad EVER says "I'm in severe pain" (which is never-ha!) she needs to get me something PRONTO. Opiod Pain killers for 3 days last weekend gave me some relief, sleep and a chance for the Augmentin (penicillin) to kick start. But I've never had a sinus infection before and NEVER want one again...never had pain like the right side of my face was having labor contractions...Ya that bad! Well, you wouldn't know. ; ) Ever had kidney stone pain or an abcessed tooth? Try 4 abcessed teeth, two top, two bottom....but it was just an infection. Where did this come from?!! The tooth nerve endings go up into that sinus air pocket doc explained.
And I recall a sore to the touch apple of my cheek on my birthday, Oct. 2nd. Like I got punched. That was when the infection began. That's why I haven't been here. Couldn't function thru the waves of pain. I waited too long to go in to be seen. Stupid, stubborn me.
Thanks Fastman...it's nice to be able to sleep, function, think and work again.
Back at home
When I was stopped over night in Indiana at a Walmart, I got to see something interesting.
I walk in the front doors and see a security person and another Walmart employee trying to get a not so valued customer to go into this side room. He starts waving them off, the whole don't touch me thing. I never see any live action stuff, so my interest was peeked. Then just like in COPS or stupidest criminals, he make a bolt for the front doors.
Unfortunately for him, his timing of the sliding doors was a little off. They closed just as he got there and he face planted the glass. He then proceeded to force the doors open, and to my surprise they came off there tracks pretty easy.
(Note to self, don't use Walmart to hide out during the zombie apocalypse, the doors won't hold up).
He managed to squeeze his way through the now off track doors, and took off running outside.
Walmarts finest gave some chase, but I think he got away. But have some good memorable video I'm sure.
During the course of all this, somehow, the fire alarm got triggered and was sounding in the store. About 10mins later the fire department rolled in.
I was talking with the check out lady who was not very surprised, saying "this happens about 6-7 times a week".
Kind of comical in a way, was the Walmart greeter who casually looked up and announced, "we got a runner"
