I worked until 0300 this morning and then went home to pack. I did not get to bed until 0630. Then to top it all off I was wide awake at 0930 this morning. I tried to fall back asleep for a few hours before giving up and getting ready a little earlier than I had planned. I got Scamp off to his temporary home and then to work to pickup the vehicle I was assigned for the trip. I was assigned a 1998 Dodge Durango, on first look it is a nice car. I learned quickly though that it is not as quiet as I am used too, also the heater leave a little to be desired.
The drive was not bad, the roads were in good shape considering the snow/ice storm that came through yesterday. I made it all the way to just North of Ames, Iowa before I stopped for gas. Then it hit me, I was TIRED! I ended up driving a little further before I pulled of to a rest area to try to take a nap. Turns out that would be the first of three nap attempts, delaying me by about 2 hours. In the end I am glad I stopped, because I was ready to fall asleep a couple times while driving, that is not a good feeling.
The hotel I am staying at is very nice, the beds look really comfortable. I have class starting at 0800 tomorrow so I am off to try out the bed now.
