So, What Now? in The Adventures of Sugarbear and Cupcake

This transition back home from being an OTR truck driver is a lot harder than I thought it would be. I didn’t get off the road by choice, and going back to the 9-5 lifestyle kind of sucks. I don’t really want a “regular job”. I feel like trucking ruined me in a way. I don’t know that I’d make a good employee anymore. I value my independence too much. I hate being micromanaged. I don’t want to ask for time off. I HATE applying for jobs and the language used.... I guess business speak or corporate speak, I guess it just gives me the ick. It just feels so fake. Pretentious.
But I’ve still been applying to jobs. Mostly remote for now, as Randy’s been applying to regular jobs and we only have 1 car right now. But I don’t want to stay at my sister-in-law’s house much longer. We need out own space. We’re thinking of building a tiny house. Don’t know where yet. But we need income first.
Randy’s getting some shifts with his old client that he did CNA work for, so that’s something. And we’ve been driving for UberEATS (which is hit or miss, really). But at least it’s enjoyable.
I miss animal interaction, though. Hopefully once we get more settled, I can start fostering dogs or something. That’s the dream, anyway.
And I know a lot of people are in the same type of situation we are. So, I don’t really want to complain or anything. Not that it would do any good. Overall, we’ve really been keeping a pretty positive attitude about everything. Just having a moment, I guess.
But, anyway, I’ve got to make my grocery list for tomorrow. We need more veggies.
So, until next time!
