Starting yet another adventure

Tomorrow I start my new job, after two months of looking for and turning down a not so right for me job I found one that I think will be a decent fit.

 It's at a semi granola but expensive grocery store which I am excited about, least I know I will be able to get my coconut milk coffee creamer that I have such a hard time finding ! And I was already told there is room for advancement working within the office from the woman that hired me ! Being in a grocery store is a comfort zone for me since it's something I am familiar with and heck I still remember the produce codes, lol. 

I would love to be in an animal clinic or doing something with animals but in all honesty it's just not possible right now, maybe down the rode it will happen but for now I am happy with where I am. Wish me luck :-)  

I've got the weight of a school bus on my shoulders

And it weighs a heck of a lot...15 tons or 30,000 pounds if you prefer ! I feel like this is all I think about now, pre-trip, air brakes, and freaking cones. Since I have started this training my blood pressure has gone up higher than before so my meds which I was taking once a day is now a twice a day thing, I come home with headaches almost every day and I cannot sleep at night. I have so much riding on this test, I cannot wait for it to be done and over. Then I can start getting a paycheck, lol.

Then I worry about when I pass and get my route...what if I am late ? get lost ? forget a kid ? I am not worried about my driving after all my daughter will be on the bus with me. And I am a mother with a child that takes a school bus, I know all about precious cargo. I think I need to sit back, take deep breaths and stop worrying.

Keep calm my friends and breathe on :-)



BTW: I got a package in the mail today with goodies to review so that post will be coming in the next few days.

The wheels on the bus go ..

It's been a week and a day since I have started training and I have come a long way in that short amount of time. I am really proud of myself !

I have finally driven on the street with other cars and get this, I even drove on the highway in the pouring rain .....woot woot ! Highway is super scary, you feel like you have no control and the bus has absolutely no pick up. But I did it.

The hardest is yet to come, the actual course which includes parallel parking and my pre trip. There are like a million parts I will have to point out on test day, craziness !

So far I am doing well. One of the trainers said I drive like I have had my license for months :-)

Finally getting myself back and on my own two feet feels awesome !
