​I have mixed feeling about how today went.  On a basic level this was another good day, but then I found out that the other person taking out the packages I left behind was in a smaller vehicle than mine I now feel guilty about taking most if not all the small packages……. Well, sort of guilty. I didn’t assign her to that route, and she never said anything to me just the boss (as if he cares). This thing has been in the back of mine all darn day and even now bothers me. Tomorrow I’m going to take a better mix of sizes, and hopefully, things go better (or she’ll find something new to complain about).
 
I don’t know about that will be happening the rest of this week, so I published what I have so I can keep the story going. This chapter is going to get a little nasty. I’m taking the story into a sort of a parallel between the two groups and just how far is too far something like Batman: Knight fall where Batman was replaced by someone who has no problems with killing. I will keep working on the story when I can with more to come………
 
Thank you for your time. 

​This was a nice (all be it cold) delivery day. It started out cold and slow at the warehouse, and it stayed that way throughout the day, but the sun came out changing the day from what could have been like the dreary Monday to something better. The package count has slowed down a little, but more importantly, they are smaller making it easier to take more on one trip rather than two trips for the same amount. This saves me two to four hours at the end of the day. My route was well planned out with only a few misplaced locations and no bad addresses.
 
I got home in time to cook dinner which is so much better than fast food (not healthier because I made or baked pork chops). We had pork chops, corn, mashed potatoes (instant), sage stuffing (stove top), gravy (mix) and refrigerator biscuits (US). I didn’t make a make a desert, but I did stop and buy a few Save-a-Lot individual fruit pies. I plan to work on the story tonight hoping to have at least a thousand words down before I publish (as of typing this I’m at 460). I hope this week goes like today because this was a nice day and with days like this there will be more to come……….
 
Thank you for your time and patience. 

This was yet another busy day. The Christmas season is trying to kill me. Every day seems longer than the last with no end in sight. I worked a little on the story, and hopefully, I will have something soon. Tuesday is the longest day for Blue-Apron deliveries which will most likely mean two trips. I found one large trip works out better for me in both gas and time but you have to do what you have to do. This chapter will go into better detail on who Luis and Jorge are and their plans. I will work on this new chapter when I can and publish it as soon as I have something worth publishing with more to come………
 
Thank you for your time. 

​A short, strange message alert
 
This was a very long day. I got up at the usual 4 am and made my way to the warehouse where I found the grand total of four packages waiting for me. I used this opportunity to get my (as in the car’s) oil changed (if I could change my oil then…... well…...I don’t know). I made it home in time to finish my laundry and work on the story. Typing of which, I finished the chapter and posted it earlier today. The story took a strange twist going in a different direction then I planned as well as following a character that was never going to have such a detailed backstory. I think the long driving days changed the story. I don’t know when I’ll have more time, but when I do, I’ll work on the next chapter with more to come………
 
Thank you for your time.

​Short bitching about the weather message alert
 
Here comes the snow and yes, I know it’s Ohio in December, so yes, it’s going to snow, but it doesn’t mean I have to like it. I pulled something in my neck, and the pain is making it difficult to turn (my head). We didn’t get the snow they were promising (1” to 3”) but there is snow, and it’s going to slow me down Friday. I only made one trip today, but the pain made it difficult to work on the story. I did do some work, and hopefully, I will have something to post this weekend. I hope to finish out this chapter soon, but after that, I don’t know when there will be more to come……….
 
Thank you for your time

A Short, tired message alert
I am just so tired of all this weather (and the weather don’t care).  It was supposed to be cloudy all day, and it was along with rain and snow. It was dark around 3:30 pm. I did 69 stops today. I finished and made it home in time to fix dinner and type this. As before I don’t have enough to post in the story. I’ll work on it some more tonight and hopefully will have something soon with more to come………
 
Thank you for your time.

Wow, what a day. Somebody miss-judged the height of a bridge and hit that bridge with the excavator knocking it off the back of the truck damaging the bridge and closing the highway. This happened on the part of the highway that is already tearing up with construction. Then it rained and snowed (a wintery mix). On the way home, the road signs said the highway under that bridge was still closed.
​
I hope to work on the story tonight I just don’t know how much I can get done and I won’t have the money to pay for the Grammarly until Friday so when they cut me off, I won’t be able to edit my work. Taking this time to work (as if I had a choice) I lost the direction I was going, and now I have a new(ish) plan for how the chapter ends. I hope to do a little every night and post as soon as I can edit with more to come………...
 
Thank you for your time, and yet again I’m sorry for the lack of posting. 

This is both going to be as well as proving to be a hard couple of weeks. I didn’t get home until after 7 pm last night, and that has become the norm for the week with double trips. I usually do 200 to 240 packages a week as of right now I’m at 420 packages. Then you have the weather (whether you want it or not). It either rained or snowed and was always dark even at noon. Also, because it just wasn’t enough the city of Akron had to take a three-lane road down to one for emergency bridge repair until the nebulous "after Wednesday." Today was nice, well sort of. I had one package with a bad address. I hope they don’t send so much for us next week. This is just taking so much of my time that I don’t have any for anything else from my basic laundry to cooking dinner (five days of fast food). I took 69 packages with one trip, and it was nice not having to go back as well as the weekend traffic. I’m working Sunday and all next week maybe through to December 24th, but I don’t know if I’ll last that long. The money will be nice, but the late days are killing me. I hate trying to deliver in the dark. I don’t know when I’ll be getting back to the story (all this time off helped me lose my place). When I can there will be more to come………...
 
 
Thank you for your time, and I am sorry for the delay. 

​Short whinny message alert
 
Oh my god was this a long day. Yet another day going from 4:30 am to 7:30 pm. As of right now, I’ve delivered 285 packages. I am just so very tired. I get home, eat, read emails and go to bed in a vicious cycle with no end in sight. I’m working doubles Friday and Saturday then one trip on Sunday. I don’t know when I’m getting back to work on the story. This might be something like after Christmas before I have something more to come………...
 
Sorry about all the package drama and thank you for your time.
 

Lazy whinny fat man short message alert
​
I started today at my usual 5 am (at the warehouse) where I found my route had 115 packages. I helped them sort then I sorted my route taking a total of 68 packages between two trips. I didn’t finish and get home until 7:30 pm. If you count from the time, I left to the time I got home I had a 15-hour day, and this is going to be the norm until Christmas. I am just so very tired. Somehow in some way, there will be more to come………. I just don’t know when.
 
Thank you for your time and patience.
