The factory has rewarded my efforts handsomely.

Once again rescuing another load. Buddy's pump stopped working, so we are using our gravity pipes to feed from his trailer to my pump to the customers silo. Trouble is, his load has cooled, so it is VERY thick and slow.

Was busy as hell today.
Finally got internet at my house, finally put my snow tires on, did a few small renovations, & meal prepped about 3 weeks worth of food for the truck. My feet are killing me and I'm tired, but it's been a satisfying day. Off to Ben & Jerry's in Vermont tomorrow for a delivery

Oh Montreal traffic....Always giving me time to take a breath, stop and think about life. Whether I want to or not.

Got to my Unload early this morning, so it's going to be a good, long weekend for me, assuming I didn't just Jinx it lol.
It's finally getting cold enough that I can wear my insulated gear. This high vis sweater I got from the company has no right being this comfortable. #LongHaulLife

Didn't think it was possible, but I somehow managed the millennial dream and managed to get myself a house! Super thrilled to be going on this journey.

Look, I'm not SUPER well versed in the occult arts, but I get the feeling the truck stop sage and crystals probably isn't bringing the vibes or energy you want it to.

Had to go rescue a load when one of my co-workers stopped working. Essentially we're drawing into my trailer's pump, and using that suction to offload.
He was lucky that I was in the area.

Still can't get over the tiny lil knife my boyfriend, @starlightserpent.bsky.social gave me. It's way sharper than you would expect.

Honestly, one of the nicer truckstop shower I've seen, at the Irving BigStop near Lewiston Maine.
Boy howdy, my inner crow wanted to steal the Bigstop shower keychain. #LongHaulLife

Wasps swarming our drop lot and customers is a sign that summer is ending, thankfully. You got to get real comfortable with the wasps when hauling what is essentially liquid sugar. They seem to understand that if they sting us here, poison appears, and for the most part leave us alone. #LongHaulLife

Sad I wasn't able to go to Ottawa #Pride this year. I was working yesterday, and just got too burnt out from work to go today. My friends seemed to have a blast though. I'll definitely make time for it next year.

The armrest on my banjo got weirdly corroded and was giving me a rash, so I pulled it off, sanded it down, and gave it a fresh coat of paint. I think it turned out quite nice :)

In case you're wondering, this is the plate that's often used to keep trailers attached to the tractors. It's a beefy hunk of metal and I've never personally seen the plate or the kingpin itself fail. #LongHaulLife.

My beautiful boyfriend and I spent some time in Ottawa this past weekend. Had lunch on sparks Street today and then visited the National Art Gallery.
Just look at how damn cute they are!!!

My mother has started booking us surprise pedicures when she knows I have hometime and am feeling stressed. It's very sweet of her, and absolutely not a thing I would think to do myself.
I've never actually gotten colour before, so I figured I'd give it a try. #SelfCare

My barber does great work.
Seriously if you're in Kingston, and you're looking for a good cut check out escape hair studios.
