So
I’m going to be delivering an in car training day over 3 days. I’m in Kent and I’ve got to go to Basingstoke (the course is training people to be instructors) essentially I’ll be working in a car probably doing most of the driving from 9-4 Monday and Tuesday then the next Monday.
i find long days very hard and struggle with tirednesss. So am a bit worried about doing the day then driving home.
I was planning on driving there on the first Monday staying overnight then driving back Tuesday evening. The second Monday driving there and back in the same day.
Common sense says I shouldn’t because it’s a long drive back and safety wise I need to be safe on the road and it’s a good 66 miles so rush hour quite a long time.
I should be able to get a room for the Sunday on both weeks. But.
My plan was to take all my own food for the Monday so only hotel stuff in the eve. Tuesday would be tricky because I can’t keep my own food cold as no fridges etc.
If I stay over on the second Monday issue is the same.
I could go off plan but then my sugars will swing and I’ll be exhausted and feel illthrough that.
so what do you guys do in this situation? Safety wise staying over on the Sunday is safer but eating wise it’s going to cause it’s own problems.
my other option is to tell them I can’t do it but then I’m letting the diabetes win and I don’t want that. I should be able to do this. I feel completely pathetic that I can’t. But that’s a whole different matter.
