Apr. 28th, 2024 06:14 pmTraining days were good. The subject - building trauma resilience in communities - is aligned with my public health education and personal interests.
The rest of the workweek was okay. I'm more and more convinced to start looking for something else sooner than later, even if that means jumping to another agency. I just don't have my heart in this, and the clients deserve someone who is committed to their cases.
The trip to Paducah was a good weekend getaway. The Jackson Purchase is a part of the state I'm not especially familiar with, so trips out that way have some learning experiences for me. Most of the drive time was on the Western Kentucky Parkway, which is now signed as Interstate 69 along much of its length. Traffic was light, for the most part, as it tends to be on the state's parkway system, and I had a few opportunities to let the Buick lay its ears back and run.
First stop in Paducah was a local restaurant, Just Hamburgers. They have a weekly special burger, and this week's is the Quilt Chamberlain - two burger patties, cheese, hash browns, and their spicy "Death Breath" sauce. Gods, that was a terrific burger, and at under ten bucks for the burger, side, and drink, it felt like a steal. After than, over to a model train shop, Fast Freight. Nice store, good stock of train stuff and other models and supplies. Found a couple of cars to add to my collection. Then, another shop called Classic Trains and Ferrari. I thought it was just a cute name to draw attention, but nope, when I pulled into the parking lot, there was a lovely red (of course) Ferrari convertible parked out front. Lots of Ferrari memorabilia in addition to train stuff.
Got to my hotel, checked in early, took a nap. Matt and Heather closed up things at the show and I drove over to Metropolis to pick them up. Dinner at a barbecue restaurant, where Steve joined us, and after that, we all went to my hotel for a couple of hours. Davie was on call and couldn't join us, sadly.
Left around 10:45 Central this morning, thought about detouring to a couple of game shops in Hardin County, but decided to just head home. Got in, emptied my duffel bag, started laundry, got in my GT7 workout. Watching The Crown now. Pretty good weekend.
