I was considering walking over to Appleby's for dinner and a couple of brews. A short walk down the hallway in the hotel quickly changed my mind. There is no way my back will allow a walk that long. I thought it was feeling a little better until I took that short walk and found my legs wanting to buckle and my back screaming in pain. Screw that. I like their food, but not that much.
There is another trucker staying here at the hotel who works for a different company. I met him in the hall, chatted for a minute, and mentioned that I was low on smokes. He offered to go over to the grocery store and pick me up some smokes and a 12 pack.
When he got back with my smokes and brews I told him to keep the change (around 5 bucks) for his trouble but he wouldn't accept it. Nice guy but I kinda felt bad about putting him through all the effort for nothing.
So I have beer, smokes, and have ordered a pizza delivery. Not Appleby's, but better than nothing.
Maybe I'll feel up to walking over there sometime this weekend. For now I'm not gonna push it too hard. I need to get better so I can get back to work.
