If I could pick up a car and throw it right now, I would.

If I could pick up a car and throw it right now, I would.

So my Hyundai won't stay cranked now.  😳

Shaun had to jump me just so I could drive to work.  It cranked when I tried to leave, but I turned the lights on and it died.  I'm sure that it's just the battery / alternator, AGAIN, but I am so beyond tired of being stranded and pouring money into something that is just gonna break again in a few months.  Therefore, I am getting rid of it.  If the Kia is gonna be a dick, I'll get rid of it, too.  I am just so done with all of this.  I will learn the hard way to ride my bike where ever I need to go and I can ride with Shaun to work when I need to.

My biggest issue is taking my animals places.  Shaun isn't a fan of having animals loose in his car.  Nappy has a hair appointment at Piper's tomorrow, but I'm gonna have to cancel.  I don't have a crate large enough to put her in.  And we'd have to pick her up to get her in the car, anyway, and that is hard because she's so huge.  That is the one great thing about the Hyundai.  It was low enough that it wasn't hard getting the dogs in and out.

Anyway, I'm pissed and annoyed and ready for a serious change.  I would just go out and buy another car, but I'm not made of money.  If I have $10 in my pocket after paying my bills every week that's a damn good week for me.  I will get tax money early next year, but I am not living through another year of my house and yard flooding so it's pretty much already spent.  The year after that Shadow is getting a car, and the year after that I am putting better windows in my house.  So my extra money is spoken for for the next few years.  LIFE SHOULD NOT BE THIS FUCKING HARD!

Sorry for the rant and the angriness - I've been holding it together for the last few weeks, but it gets hard - especially when my freedom is at stake.

Feeling ok on this Monday.

Feeling ok on this Monday.  I'm up and not mad about it, so that's something.  LOL

Here's hoping that my Hyundai feels ok.  I drove the Kia to Munford yesterday and almost didn't make it.  I think my brakes must have been locked up because I couldn't even kick it into neutral and coast down a hill.  It was a struggle just to drive it.  When I made it to my dad's house he could feel a lot of heat coming off my front tires, so right now we're thinking brakes.  He said he would take a look at it, so I just left it with him and bummed a ride home from my mom.

I wish Anniston would just finish the damn bike trail.  Or put in some bike lanes.  I'd totally start biking to work just to avoid having to deal with cars so much.  I am pretty scared to ride a bike on the real road even though I see people do that all the time.

Lately when I am stressed or feel bad I have the urge to clean.

Lately when I am stressed or feel bad I have the urge to clean.

I am just not gonna fight it.  Time to scrub my bathroom real quick.

Purples.

Purples.
Triangles.
Glitter.

I had a really nice day yesterday.

I had a really nice day yesterday.  Just me and Shaun.  Nice and relaxed.

I think I slept too much today, though.  I have a headache like "whoa."  I think I'm gonna order some takeout House of Chen and one of those FABULOUS teas.  Unless anyone is up for meeting up for lunch?

Super thanks to my dad...

Super thanks to my dad who drove all the way up here and got both of my cars running.  That's awesome.  😃❤

Since I have been given like, 100,000 numbers...

Since I have been given like, 100,000 numbers I thought I'd do this and get it out of the way.  And if you want to like or comment - feel free to do so without fear of getting a number.  I like to be the ender of things.  If you feel like you want to post facts about yourself, just go for it.  You don't need me to make you.  ❤

  1. I have an allergy to the sun.  I can burn easily in 15 minutes.  I get very itchy and a really bad headache and nausea.

  2. I am also sensitive to garlic.  LOL  Too much will make me sick, as well.

  3. I am only 4 feet, 8 and 3/4 inches tall so I am TECHNICALLY a "little person."  An adult height of under 4' 9" qualifies you.  Being a little person is NOT the same as being a dwarf.  Dwarves are the ones with the disproportional builds.  Let the vampire midget jokes commence.  LOL

  4. I super hate holidays.  I hate all of them.  I just dislike having to do anything out of my norm.  If I could choose to have a holiday when I felt like it, fine.  But I can't and most of them mean nothing to me, so... it's just an annoyance.  Birthdays and anniversaries are worth celebrating, though.  You've survived another year.  Go you!

  5. I am drug / alcohol / smoke free.  I don't do any of that.  I think it's all bad and I hate for anyone to even do it around me.  Yuck.

  6. This one is probably obvious, but I have an extreme amount of compassion for animals.  I don't feel that towards people - not even the ones I love.  Humans have resources and knowledge and so many options.  That is just not the case for most animals.

  7. I am too empathetic.  I feel the emotions of others to an EXTREME.  I am sometimes more emotional about the bad things that are going on in someone else's life than they seem to be.  I believe that is one major reason why I don't like being around people.  If I don't care about you on a pretty big level, I don't want to feel what you're feeling.  It drains my life force.

  8. I also don't watch a lot of movies / television for the reason above.  If I do, it's gotta be positive and light.  Something sad / bad in a movie or show can really fuck up my whole day.  It really gets inside my head.  That's why I like to keep shit positive over here.  I see enough bad things in real life.  I think it's actually pretty messed up to want to see bad or scary things happen to other people, even if it's fake.

  9. I used to have more piercings, but I've taken out quite a few as I've aged.  I just lost interest or started feeling like they were in the way.  I don't regret it.  I still have a few, but nothing too crazy.  I sometimes think I want another one here or there, but then I think it wouldn't be practical so I just don't bother.

  10. I'm not a fan of tattoos.  They are fine on other people (more power to you if that's your thing - I'm not judging you, and yes - I have seen some beautiful ones!), but I don't ever see myself getting one.  I have never had any desire whatsoever.
