Well, its been awhile since our last post...three weeks, I guess. Wow. Anywhoo. Trucking, with STA or not, has been put on the back burner for awhile. We just can't afford to go weeks without pay (after doing so in March/April) and paying up front is not going to happen - right now anyway. Maybe in about two years, tee-hee.
So.
What are we up to?
I am a lucky Lour. My previous employer accepted me back and so off I run to the wonderful world of tech support. I really enjoy the position and the people I work with, so its definitely no hardship to head back there. And I have a window seat this time, so yay.
Grey is doing a driving job again - this time in a smaller vehicle (my poor little green car!) and delivering Pharmaceuticals for a private pharmacy. He really digs it and the money is good. I've ridden along with him a few times already - for instance last night we took an 8 hour trip to the very southern edge of Maryland! Its kind of fun, really.
Naturally, since I was up at 5:30 am and didn't get home again until 2:52 am, I slept most of the way home in the car and I'm kinda tired. I just hope my typing this morning isn't too loud. I'd hate to wake Grey up just yet. He had a long night.
Anyway - that's the news here in our world.

On Hiatus
Well, the fifth has come and gone and Grey and I are still not at the STA. We just can't swing it right now financially. So, maybe (maybe) once we get all our bills and whatnot caught up and our savings back above zero (oy vey!) that we can take another stab at the big orange dream.
Until then, I'll probably still be posting and reading at PumpkinDriver because - well, I'm addicted - and I'll definitely be following up with other folk like T-Net & Joe's blog, for instance, just to see "what happens next".
In the meantime, we're both headed back to work shortly and hopefully, it will all come out well in the wash. Thanks again for the support, guys - once we get our ducks in a row, I have no doubt we'll give it another try. Our gal in GB told us - no worries, when you're ready, call us. And so we will.

Coming up on Day One Again
Well, we haven't heard from CityMouse & company since they hit the STA - I hope everything is going well for them.
Grey is set to head back April 5th (this Friday) and get going. They didn't have room for two this week - plus, after three weeks sans work and therefore, sans income - our savings have dwindled abominably and since we were kinda behind anyway... well, its getting scary.
So I am post-poning my own trip to the STA and begging my old job back. Keep your fingers crossed for Grey though, at least one of us will end up a Pumpkinhead. ;)
