my kingdom for a mirror

Trucker-wife Tip of the Day: when you are packing before you leave for your trucking week, and a practical-sounding voice in your head says that an iphone will easily serve as a mirror - that voice lies. And then it laughs and laughs. Because you believed the lie.

Stupid voice.


Also, you know the Ron James bit where he waxes eloquent about a Tim Hortons appearing down the road in the darkness? I understood that sentiment this morning as we walked across two parking lots to its warm and friendly light.

Trucker Wife Bonus: There is never, ever a line-up for the women's washroom. You get the whole thing to yourself, almost every time.

Which is not a bad thing at all.
