I am on my way to Florida from Wisconsin. I am currently just North of Indianapolis and as I pulled into the truckstop the Comfort Inn across the street looked very appealing. I decided to get a room for the night and get some civilized rest. While I normally don't mind sleeping the the truck, it has a very roomy and comfortable sleeper, sometimes I just want to get out of the truck for a little while. I could have just waited until I got home on Tuesday afternoon, but the idea of a comfortable room just sounded too good to pass up.
As soon as I checked in I hit the shower which felt wonderful knowing I had it all to myself and didn't need to rush because several other drivers were waiting for their turn to de-hog themselves. I am now sitting in the lounge drinking a few after dinner brews before going back to my room to chill for the night.
I have a stop in Greenville, SC and another in a small town in Georgia, and my final stop is in South Florida for Tuesday morning. From there I'll cruise up to the house for 3 or 4 days before heading back out again. I'm looking forward to spending some time at home resting. I've been out for almost a month and am getting tired. I've been feeling it the past few days and know it's time to shut down and rest a while. I really enjoy what I do but it does wear you down after a while and you need to just relax and rest.
