Today is a great day!


Every morning I get to wake up early to drive Wiffy to work.
I truly don't mind getting up extra early these days because it's some of the only time we really get to see each other.
On this particular morning Wiffy had lots of extra work to do so we were up before 5:00am and on the road pretty much immediately after 5.

This is a picture of my other car:
and this is a picture of the parking ticket I found on it's windshield this morning after I had dropped Wiffy off:


Evidently, although two of it's wheels are on the driveway, I get to pay the city $50 because the other two wheels are on the lawn.
Technically they are on paving stones on the lawn but I guess paving stones don't constitute a proper driveway.

I have to work at the restaurant tonight and I'm off to Montreal tomorrow morning so, rather than going back to sleep for a bit like I usually do, I thought it would be a much better use of my early morning 'me time' to try to move the car so that it's fully on the driveway in order to avoid further opportunities to give the city even more money in the near future.

Of course, since it has sat there unused since October, my attempt to get the Goddamned car started yielded nothing in the way of dashboard lights or engine cranks or anything useful at all.

The battery is clearly dead.

Easy enough to deal with right?
I have another car with a working battery and I have jumper cables in the shed.

This is a picture of my keys sticking out of the frozen lock which prevents me from getting into the shed:



Ask me how badly I want to smash that fucking window.

You know how people always give you those nifty lock de-icer things as Christmas gifts?
Also, you know how you always stash them away in drawers and other hiding places because at the time you attain the nifty lock de-icers you already have the peace of mind that none of your locks are currently frozen?
Well, I have spent the last two hours trashing every inch of my house searching for any one of my nifty collection and now all I want to find is something with which to blow up the car or the shed.

The end.
Have a nice day.
