Chapter 10a- My nose is froze, and my toes are froze, and my tail's froze...
It's freakin' freezing outside! (7 degrees- yeah I know that's nothing)...in side too...I'm currently shivering as I'm typing.
Last night I spent drinking Spiced cider and rum to try to keep me warm, but it didn't work to well and I didn't get drunk either. It snowed last night making the road not awful, but not real great. Of course everyone forgets how to drive in the winter once it's over anyway. So once winter comes again every body acts like an asshole on the roads.
Here's a quick lesson in winter driving:
1) You can't drive as fast in the winter as you can in the summer. I don't care what type of vehicle you have. Those of you who have SUV's and think you can conquer anything- you'll be the first ones to go off the road...stupid fuckin' gas guzzlin' SUV's. They should be banned.
2) You won't slip on snow, you slip on ice.
3) Ice you can't see
4) DO NOT BRAKE WHEN YOU HIT ICE!!
5) Try to avoid braking in the winter. If you have to brake other than stoplight and turning, you are too close to the vehicle in front of you.
6) If you at a light that has just turned green, and you think they car coming the other way is going to stop...they won't, probably b/c they can't...so at least wait until they have before you pull out.
7) Don't be in a hurry in the winter. You will only get frustrated, and do something stupid which will put you in an accident and then you will really be late for whatever you were rushing for...so, add in some extra time...come on guys, it isn't all that hard. Don't tell me you don't have time. There are 24 hours in the day- how many of those to you waste sitting on your ass.
8) It WILL take you at least 15 minutes to scrap off your car in the morning.
9) Remember to kick the snow turds off of your tires, or else you really won't be able to brake and stop.
Yeah, so anyway, I was planning on sleeping in and staying in a semi-warm house today, but found out that I had to drive my father to church to meet my mother so they could go to some family brunch thing. Good thing is that I didn't have to go, but my mother didn't want two cars there, so instead of my father just going with her to church I had to get up in the cold morning, brush my car off, and drive him....
There's your complaint for the day....
God, it's weird being a Sunday and not having practice...
Wait, sorry, I've got more complaints....
Like the dumb ass I am when it comes to pills, I never remember to take them...that is unless they are pills I shouldn't be taking in the first place, like diet pills or things of that nature...so I keep forgetting to take my medication to heal my bruised bone and hurting ribs...so of course I'm in pain again, but it's really my fault. And on top of that I feel sick today...but what else is new...
In good news my father gave me an early Xmas present yesterday. I got three new diecast for my collection! Alright, let me explain: I love sports, always have, always will. There are three main ones I cling to. I've grow up watching NFL and Notre Dame football for years. My love of Hockey was an on my own thing. The other one is auto racing...yup, like NASCAR...you know the hick sport where you watch the cars go round and round in a circle...yeah that. Make fun of me all you wish, but I've been watching it since I was 7 years old and I love it. Been to 14 or 15 Winston Cup (yes Winston, not Nextel) racing, and numerous other races. I know a whole shit load about the sport and cars. Yeah, who doesn't love a girl who knows cars and watches sports? Anyway, when I was younger I started collecting the little diecast matchbox cars (1:64 scale) of certain drivers...I've got over 200- some of which are worth $100 or more, but it's gotten to the point where I can't afford them anymore b/c I've got other bills to pay...so my father, who collects the 1:18 scale ones, buys me the ones I need for that year at christmas. He never tells my mother as she hates the sport, but I'm a daddy's little girl and Nascar is our bonding thing.
My head kind of hurts, so I'm going to watch some football and try to get warm.
There's so much shit I should do today, but I'm not sure whether it will get done or not :(
