After running non-stop for three weeks on a bunch of long runs, I was
pretty tired out by the time Harri's humans managed to meet up with me.
However, my schedule allowed me to do a 34-hour reset - I took a day and
a half off. So Harri got to spend her first day and a half sitting in
one place, without things moving around or loud noises, getting to know
me and her environment and her new toys.

The load we're on now required that I move closer to the shipper today.
We're picking up in Springfield, MO this evening and delivering in
Seattle and Tacoma on Monday and Tuesday. So we rolled from Oak Grove,
MO at 3:00 this morning. Very light traffic due to the early hour, but
unfortunately poor visibility as well to the rain. Harri started out
sitting on my lap, then took turns sitting on my lap, crawling up on to
my shoulders, perched on my left leg looking out the window, sitting on
the dash board, sitting on the passenger seat, or on the floor by the
food, water, and litter. The few times I got tense due to sharp curves
Harri was immediately in my lap purring up a storm.

After riding for a couple hours Harri decided that the passenger seat
was the best place to ride. That works well for me - I can see her, talk
to her, and reach her, but don't have to worry about an armful of kitten
getting in my way if I have to maneuver suddenly.

About half an hour before we got to the truck stop where we'll wait for
delivery time to get closer, Harri disappeared into the sleeper. Once I
got parked I looked in on her - she is under my pillows, taking a nap.
What a good little girl!

I also learned that she quite the little talker when there are things
going on. I love that!

Tonight we're going to try to make it as far as Souix Falls, IA.
