Bitch of a day...but I’m mobile...

[dracomiss]

Today was exactly what my subject line says... a bitch of a day. I spent the night on the boat last night with mom and dad, and woke up to help dad replace the sewer lines. Fun, fun. Then we headed down to Seattle to pick up my new-to-me vehicle. When we got there, we discovered that a jeep had blocked me in. We also discovered that the headlights were not working, and it was getting dark, and the windshield wipers were falling apart, and it was raining. Hours later, after we were afraid it wouldn't run, and then it finally did, we had it out from behind the jeep, discovered that the headlight wires were not connected, and realized that the driving issues it was having were because of low transmission fluid, and crappy gas from sitting too long. We get on the freeway and drive to get windshield wipers, and find out that the tabs expired in 2001. Fabulous. We get the windshield wipers on, dad follows me until the alger exit. Somewhere along the line, I try to put my cigarette out in the ashtray, to discover that my dad's buddy (the previous owner), had left a wad of tissue paper in the ashtray. So now I'm driving on the freeway at night, in the rain, with a fire in my ashtray. I finally put it out with my soda. I made it home without any furthur incidents, and immediatly took off my shoes from hell I've been stuck in, ran a scalding hot bath, and soaked until the water got cold.

Tommrow I get to clean out the truck... it's been sitting for months, and it's rather gross inside and out, but after that, and after dad puts on the new fender and bumper I have in the back, it will rock. It's an '83 Chevy Blazer 4X4 Tahoe. It's black, it runs, it has turn signals, and it's mine :).

Now, I am going to bed, to pass out hard.
