The Breckenridges

I am so excited!! The start date for the job I have been waiting so long for at Conroe Regional is finally here. As much as I have enjoyed my summer vacation, I am so ready to start work. I just hope I haven't forgot everything! Had to get a few things done this week, like my TB test, and CPR renewal. I did the CPR yesterday at the Woodlands Fire Dept. That was fun getting there...NOT! A bad wreck on Hwy. 105 (the road I take from Hwy. 59 to get to Conroe) had traffic stopped for over half an hour and, of course, the delay and traffic made me late. I was concerned about the amount of traffic in the opposite direction on the two-laned Hwy. 105. There was traffic bumper-to-bumper all the way from the Hwy. 59 intersection for about 15 miles to the little town called Cut-and-Shoot, almost all the way to Conroe. I have never seen anything like it and was grateful I was headed into Houston area than away from it ot I would be in the same predicament. I was thinking that if this is what traffic is like there is no way I could ever make it on time to my shift or home at a decent hour. Josh speculated that this was just traffic returning to Beaumont, after the threat of Hurricane Gustav had passed. Well, I got stuck in traffic at the same place returning home last night around 10:30. I know rush hour doesn't last that long!! So it probably was the returning evacuees. However, I am still going to find alternative routes, even if they are out-of-the-way back roads.
