Job is getting better.
Life is ok.
I'm burned out and I miss Macon.
THERE IS A ZAXBY'S IN ORLANDO!! AND I FOUND IT TODAY!! I almost cried. I've been a little Macon-sick the past few weeks and I had actually gotten lost in Orlando when I found it. I had just gotten a little bit of my bearings back when I looked up and there was the Zaxbys. It was like an oasis in the desert of unfamiliarity. So, of course, I got dinner from there.
After that, I was driving down I-4 and I saw a sign to I-75. I haven't seen 75 since I got on the turnpike on the way to Orlando. It took a lot of rational thought not to hop on 75 and head north. I had to remind myself that it would take 6 hours and I'm not sure that anyone's there that's worth seeing and then it would be another 6 hours back and its a lot of money for gas to get up there and it would be really late by the time I got there anyway. It took ALL of that to get me not to go. Though I almost feel like I'm being led to go up there soon. So I'm planning a trip in September, if my days off don't drastically change between now and then.
If I have an opening shift, I can leave straight from work. So say I get on the road by 4. I'll be in Macon by 10. Either Crystal or Debra will keep me that night. Of course, I'll have made a million phone calls to alert all of Mercer I'm on my way up. I'll have all of the next day to spend with people and most of the day after that. Then I'll hop back in the car by 4 or 5 and be back in town by midnight so I can have a nap before my closing shift (hopefully) at work the next day. I'll be exhausted but it will be so worth it...
And I can listen to country music w/o being criticized. Woot!
Just pray my days off work out well for this.
I MISS GA!!
