I am woman. Hear me roar.
... I am strong, I am invincible. I look at my driveway and then look at the other people's and I am triumphant! I am Rocky Balboa! I hear trumpets !
Well one other person on our circle has a clear driveway. One other person has kept up with the snow and kept their driveway completely clear. I am so proud that I went out and did it. Despite that I thought it was going to beat me. I did take two days off work though. However that has as much to do with mental health as anything. I really dread going in to work when the snow is heavy as hell and the plows are out and about... I had to stay in the parking garages so as not to conflict with the plows.And that my friends is boring as hell.
The job's already sucking the life out of me. So, two days off, a mini vacation, let my lower back rest in between shoveling. I have nearly finished. There is only the snow on top of the van. I will let that stay until the weekend. I can't believe how much snow we got this last cycle. I tell you that I am glad that it isn't happening in Flagstaff. My mom would be trapped on the ranch. I remember that storm when we were trapped and I got out on the backhoe and went around pulling people out of the snow. People would stuff money in my pockets, I would say "NO, please don't pay me " and they would stuff a check for eighty bucks in my pocket. For doing what I considered absolute fun. i wish I had that backhoe now.
Mum sold it for a song. I wonder if that guy ever even paid her. Asshat.
She sold everything. OK.. not going there.
Back to the present. Just filed my permanent fund appy. Comforting to know I will be getting a PFD about the time I settle into Portland. I'll be needin' it I bet. October? I'll have hopefully been there a month. About that time a few hundred bucks will probably look good.
Got my car out of the driveway and cleared the snow off... lost my temper about the time I was trying to clear the area around the headlights. Everything closed in on me and I kicked the living shit out of my front bumper trying to get the icicles off (I keep the car plugged in, and that makes icicles on my front bumper).. i kicked it so hard I mangled the license plate holder. Peace of shit black plastic that says LITHIA MOTORS. Fucking Lithia. Asshat motors.
LOL! I lost my temper and kicked the bumper until all the icicles fell off and left a pile of them on the ground. I can't wait until I can buy a proper license plate holder (no sense doing that until I move away) and can wash my car now and again and see it shiny. Can't wait until the car is not a trash heap (gotta keep so much JUNK in it.. survival shit, ice scraping shit, a broom for god's sake, extension cord.. you don't wanna keep that in the trunk. ).. god. I made a mistake coming here, and buying a CAR. I should have got a JEEP. I should have.
I wasn't thinking.
Poor car. Has really held up well though. In all this, I've not had any problems.
Now I am lonely and thinking I might go cook some food. Have some more coffee. Lay down and rest my back. My neck is all cricked up.. my eyes hurt. (?? wonder why.)
sigh. Nothing to do this weekend ... but paint. I guess I'll paint. god.
