As I suspected, the tiredness I had been feeling was the early stages of some damn bug I've picked up some place. After doing a short run down to O'Hare airport yesterday I returned and went to bed. I managed to sleep for 14 hours but it didn't help, I still feel like crap.
I'm going to be running a load down to TX with a stop off at an Air Force Base in OK, which is ok with me. The boss initially asked if I could make the OK stop Friday but I told him I'm really not feeling well and maybe he should make it Monday as I intend to be getting a lot of extra rest over the next few days. He understood and agreed.
I'm at the yard now waiting for them to build my load so I can get going although I'm really not in much of a hurry. I just want to get as early a start as possible so I have that much more time to get there.
I did shock the office manager by actually turning in the paperwork for the couple of short runs I did this week instead of waiting a week or so as I usually do. She's always on to me about not turning it in in a timely manner so I thought I surprise her.
Hopefully this damn bug will pass quickly. I hate being sick out here on the road.
