gas pump chump

I’m feeling a bit better than when I wrote my friends only entry yesterday. Not quite as annoyed. Yesterday when I was driving back in that blizzard I had to get gas. Common courtesey is not to stop at the first gas pump. Because then there is an empty pump and the person who wants gas has to wait. And that person waiting was me.

Someone else was at the pump by the entrance and I would have had to drive ahead then turn around to get to the other pumps. And not only was this chumpy guy making me wait, he was taking his sweet time to fill up his suv. And yapping on his cell phone while he did this. I was extremely annoyed. I wasn’t having a good day and this made it worse. I couldn’t help saying something out loud such as "nice job moron not only did you hog the pump but now you are standing there as though you can’t see me." My window was rolled up at the time because it is crazy cold here. But if it was warm there likely wouldn’t have been a mini blizzard. There are some videos of the weather but the links don’t work. I will wait for someone to post a video on youtube.

I hate driving on roads that have ruts of snow. It is too easy for the car slide or get stuck. I am paranoid that I will get another flat tire. Not that the other flat tire happened because of that.

My chest is still sore from whatever infection or strain from coughing I have. It is better though. Todays I felt that area of my body spasm and I was scared for a second I had a stroke or something like that. Then I did feel better though, hmmm.

Today when I was clearing the snow off my car my Terry came outside. I couldn’t really understand him, but I think he said he had his snowshoes on. Then he said something about mitts. I remember he told me before he liked to play soccer. Then Karl said he had seen Terry dumpster diving and kicking a soccer ball. Not at the same time of course. I found that amusing.

I am going to be on holidays from December 22nd to the first week of January. That is pretty sweet. And my weight remains around 130 lbs which isn’t bad. I have been pigging out a bit but not how I used to. I definitely don`t limit myself from what I can eat. But before I eat something I think about what I am about to put into my body. I don`t just give into late night cravings and eat when I don`t really need to.

And I eat fresh fruit instead of drinking juice. It is too bad I gave away my jeans a few months ago. The ones I have now just kind of hang onto my hipbones as I wear them during the day. I need a belt!

I`m going to start looking at houses again.We don`t have foreclosed houses here so the only ones I can afford are too small or in the inner city. I don`t want to have to worry every day about someone trying to break into my place. And that is the risk of living somewhere like that.

I had to make a huge batch of rice krispy cake today. It was frustrating because I had to add 80 large marshmallows. So after a while it got gloppy and hard to form. I just had a cookie sheet not a glass baking pan. Someone said my lovely rice krispy things looked like ants, hmmph. They were tasy though. But after it stuck to the pot and spoon as though it was concrete.
