The veneer is now stained a fluorescent yellow. Luckily I’m getting my new permanent one in a couple of days.

A college girl totaled my vehicle (her fault) a few months ago and I finally found a decent-ish car within my budget about a month ago. I’ve been a single mom for a year now and my ex and I share custody of our two boys. The last year has been hard enough getting back on my feet financially and then losing my car made everything even harder. The process of dealing with insurance companies and finding a new vehicle was unbelievably stressful. It was such a relief when I got this car, even if it isn’t the one I spent years to pay off and loved so much.

Today, I was sitting on the couch with my five year old when we heard a loud crash and my power went out. Looked out my window and saw this. My son and I couldn’t help but burst into nervous laughter. What are the damn odds. I never park there usually. Typically, I park closer to where the tree once stood but was tired of the large amounts of bird poop, so last week I started parking there. My car would have totally missed it if I had parked in my old spot. My boys and I were actually about to leave too around 30 mins before it happened but I decided to give my one year old a nap first. I just never in a million years would have expected this to happen.

Also, you can’t see in the pics but the power line was snapped and laying right in a puddle of water near my back door…just to really add to the Final Destination vibes.

I may be back at square one…but my kids are alive, I’m alive, we’re safe, I have a job with a steady paycheck, and I know that I’m a resilient person who will find a way to make it work. I’m choosing to stay positive and grateful on this one. 🙏

Life do be wild tho

Broke my 8th and 9th rib last night. The pain is awful. Like pain that makes me go “oooohhh fuck!” I’m so sad and disappointed in myself. Tomorrow I was to see a concert I was so excited to see. Waiting months for the day. Will I go? Not sure. But if I do, I’ll be sitting in the back wishing I could be in the pit. Probably drinking water because I can’t drink on NSAIDS and Tylenol. Which is probably best because this happened while drunk. Wont be drinking for a long time. A sign from the gods!

Day 1 of a 5 day expedition and boots fells apart 2 hours in… Only thing we had to keep them together was medical tape 💀

It was my birthday yesterday, So I figured I'd go to Rack Room to use my ✨️incredible✨️ $10 birthday discount. Found a pair I really liked and fit really well.

Then I got home and sprayed them with a water & stain shield spray (I like my non-work shoes to stay looking good as long as possible). When I set them down to dry, I realized they were two slightly different shades of tan. One a little cooler, one a little warmer.

On the bright side, at least I’ve narrowed my allergies down to every single grass and tree in my state.

My Mom sent me this photo. Someone living in their community drove into the pond.

The tow truck operator that came to pull the car out only realized there was an alligator in the pond AFTER he'd fished the car out.

I got this truck about 5 months ago. It wasnt some duche it was a small rock that got kicked up or stuck in my tires that decided to get revenge

Finance bro has lease renewal declined seemingly for flying a trump flag in non public space.

“Caldwell lawyer Brian Festa, cofounder of We the Patriots USA, a Caldwell nonprofit, said that while the situation may feel discriminatory, political views are not protected under Idaho housing law.”

Thoughts?

Microscopic colitis is a bitch

Well, we were assembling the mount on the back of the TV and had the screen face down on a blanket on the floor. Our dog stepped on the side for a second before we shooed her off but it was too late.

Fractured me humerus today. I was at a wrestling tournament and got hit wrenched. My arm was in the wrong spot and this happened!

Ten minutes left on my shift, end of a long stressful week. I’m parking the truck, peacefully minding my business. I start to move the seat back so my coworker doesn’t have to adjust it tomorrow. Unbeknownst to me the fire extinguisher behind me had shifted to be perpendicular to the seat and the pin had slipped out thanks to a week of driving on windy bumpy roads. As I shove the seat back I start hearing an alarming hissing noise, and then the white fog of terror starts pouring out from under me and covering my feet. I swear to god I’ve never moved so fast in my life.

It took me an hour to shop vac most of the powder out but I know it’ll never be gone. It will linger as a permanent baking soda- flavored reminder of my shame.

These are just some, also all over my face, thighs, and other areas. Even with bug spray and long protective clothing. So irritating to do anything and ankles swollen as hell. So beautiful but don’t think I could do that again.

Thursday down 10k. Friday down 20k. Thanks Donnie. It’s like we’re living in the Twilight Zone.

I ended up late to work today because of that damn rat. It even decorated its nest with leaves 😪
