Week in Review - lots of changes

I know, it's Monday, but it's as good of a time as any to review the last week, right? 

Last Friday we loaded out of California and slowly headed to Louisville. Winter storm Titan was coming, so we stayed as far south as long as we could to stay out of its path. We made it to Glendale KY (45 miles south of Louisville) and ran into ice. After nearly an inch of ice built up on the road, snow started falling. We waited it out in the comfort of our truck. Thanks to technology, we could see when the roads clear. We love technology!
We delivered Monday afternoon in Louisville, and reloaded Tuesday morning in Cincinnati. Tuesday night we loaded another item in Memphis, then delivered in Jacksonville and Miami. On Thursday we were empty and able to do a little work.

Thursday we replaced our cabin (sleeper) batteries with ThermoKing Eon batteries. So far we love them. And the thought of a four year full replacement warranty made them worth the price.
Friday we were able to run errands (wash clothes and such), which makes it sort of stressful. 
We sort of took some time off from school. With all the weather, it throws things off a bit, but my daughter still finished two more books.
This week I began reading Thin Healthy Mama. I was blown away by the ability to finally understand insulin resistance. So, this weekend I began eating the THM way. I will keep you updated on my progress. 
This weekend we also decided instead of totally refurbishing our trailer (at a cost of $30,000 - $55,000), we would buy another new to us one. 
This coming week we are hoping to get a load to go in the direction to get that trailer and be able to go out to see my grandmother before she gets too sick. Pray that things go well.
