I got the New Trucking Job!

 I just posted a new blog about how I lost 130 lbs / 60kg. The views are already through the roof. Thank you! I hope you will be able to take something away from that post that you can incorporate into your life. Before that blog, we left off where I was at my ex, Derrick's place. He answered most of the questions I had. He told me how he met the new girl he saw after our split. Unlike me, they met in person. He seemed different to me in more ways than one, race, marital status, the whole nine. That whole deal ended dramatically, according to D.

Carbivore BBQ in my honor!

 I won't get into those details as that's not my story to tell. I did tell him though that he was acting disappointed but that's what people want. Not just guys, but people! This is just my opinion: people crave drama, action, whatever you wanna call it! Sounds like I am talking about movie genres. I told him, he had me, I was probably boring, all I wanted was meat, (and candy Shhh!), going for walks, blogging, meditating, jokes, and TV. He went out there and found someone who was not available and is acting surprised that it ended how it did. 

He wasn't going to get any pity from me! Not because I was jealous, it was just like, N word, pls! My ex husband, Calvin , talks to me about his girlfriends. I'm not jealous, nor do I want him to have shitty relationships. Why? We haven't been together longer than we were together. There's a lot going on there too, but isn't that what excites people. Maybe I am too vanilla for the regular human! But you know what? I'll stick to being vanilla, at some point, it might work for someone, or nobody, but it totally works for me. Ironacally, vanilla is my favorite flavor. Coincidence? 


I spent the night. When we were together, there was a situation that caused Derrick to move rooms, we spent majority of our relationshit in the other room. Now that I'm at his place, and he's all different and shit, he moved back to the main bedroom. I guess that's on brand with all the changes in his life. I was so thrown off! He even had a new tv hanging on the wall. He had new bedding and everything. I don't know how he expected me to feel about all these changes, if anything at all. Sometimes, we're excited to show off certain things to our exes. If that was the case with him, he had it all wrong. I was already dealing with too many changes in my life as an over the road truck driver. I was hungry for something familiar. Maybe, if he had shown up as the old Derrick that I knew, it would have triggered some positive feelings. Being around him felt like being around a stranger. One more unfamiliar thing to be exposed to. He did kiss me, I liked it. He's very movie star in the way he kisses. He makes you feel like a wanted woman. He pushes you against the wall ad everything. It's exciting! He's definitely a good time when it comes to that kind of stuff. 

We didn't do it! The following morning, I showered, he dropped me off. I had my interview and got the job! I let Derrick know. He was happy for me. "We should celebrate!" He told me! I wasn't Expecting that. He asked what I would like him to cook for me. Without thinking twice, I ordered his steak and shrimp. I love everything he cooked for me when we were together. My wasband was a great cook too. I'm lucky like that. Even the weird guy from Ohio was. 

I was to move out of my new truck that I just recently spring cleaned after the fire extinguisher explosion. This wasn't a part of the deal I was excited about. I did have a higher paying gig and would be home more often. Those were things I wanted. I was getting a Volvo truck. I hadn't driven one since trucking school. Even then, those were stick shift aka manual. This was automatic, thank goodness. 

My car was in one location, the truck in another, and so was the other truck I was picking up. I had to figure out how I was going to drive two of these mobiles to one location. That's where Derrick came in handy. 

I told my old manager what time I was going to be switching trucks, etc, as he had arranged for my soon to be older one to be taken to the shop, to get it ready for the next driver. I had the keys with me, all my stuff was still in it as I spent another truck at Derrick's. 

Derrick barbecued for us. I smile just thinking about that. Who doesn't love to be made to feel special? Dinner was in my honor! Come on, y'all! It came out great, as usual. I enjoyed it. It was a nice period in my life. I was done with over the road trucking. The new account was going to be within California. Good-bye snow! I didn't know what the future held regarding my love life. Did it include Derrick? No. He didn't ask for that it do either.

I've just done two blogs back to back, let me get off my touche. Thanks for reading, comments are more than welcome, they're invited! Add me on social @BabalwaBrook youtube.com/babalwabrook
