Like a good chunk of the country currently, it's cold here. I have the gloves and the scarf going on, and with the wood stove at home it's not too awful. I do have a word to the wise though regarding such fashion at times like these. A fur edged hood on your coat is fine. It cuts down on the wind, keeps your ears warm, looks sort of nice depending. However, it's not appropriate to wear this same hood while driving a car. You have no peripheral vision at all, especially if you don't turn your head. And why would you do that anyway, right?Labels: cold, driving
The weather sucks, and I had to drive in it. But to make things worse, I have an appointment this afternoon that I have to nonchalantly leave for without causing any to-do. I can't see this happening smoothly. In a perfect world I'd like to take the rest of the afternoon off, but I'm sure that won't happen. So between the parallel parking in my future, trying to slip out to go somewhere, crappy weather, and trying to get the rest of the afternoon off, I'm slightly edgy. And this appointment had better be worthwhile, or the Bean will be Screaming.Labels: driving, job
Never mind the fact that I just had a week at work that could be considered a vacation without actually vacationing, the signs are starting to show that summer may in fact be over. People are driving around here aimlessly with out-of-state plates. That means tourists? No, that means all the students are coming back to town with parents-in-tow. Fancy cars, stupid drivers, and if they actually pulled the stunts they have here back home, they'd be grease spots on the pavement.Labels: driving
The three day weekend was delightful, but I'm exhausted. We did a small road trip over the weekend, mostly because there wasn't a heck of alot of things that could be done at home. Yard work? Way too cold outside! It's April? Really? I don't believe you. In our driving I discovered that driving at night on unfamiliar interstates freaks me out beyond belief. At one point I thought I was having a panic attack. It didn't used to be this way. I'm not sure exactly what was causing it either, but that was awful. Living in absolute fear that I'd smash the car up. Never so glad to get home.Labels: driving, weather
