In which IT’S ALIVE. And weather. And I’m driving the Big Black Truck.
The conjunctivitis in my right eye is all cleared up now. However, the condition has moved to my left eye. So I’m still wearing my glasses, which totally sucks. And not in a good way.
The weather last night was awesome. When I stopped after work for gas, a giant storm was rolling in, complete with freshening breeze and big lowering clouds. I loved it. Midwesterners — myself included — spend a lot of time bitching about the weather because so much of it sucks. But a big intense plains storm is a treat.
In other news, the jeep still doesn’t have tires — we’re flat broke, even though a very cool friend gifted me a little cash for my “tire fund,” which was so unutterably nice — and I’m driving Bread’s big ol’ huge truck. It’s a pretty comfy ride, but it’s so gigantic that I’m chicken to drive it through drive-throughs or the bank. When I went in to make a deposit this morning, the teller asked me why I’d come in and I sheepishly had to explain that I wasn’t man enough to manoeuvre the damned thing between all those posts. I mean, it’s a late model truck. If I scratched it, my hubby’d never let me hear the end of it.

Where ya been? Haven’t been able to visit for 24 hours or so.
Tires are a must. Biggest safety feature on a car, of course. (Well, maybe brakes.)
Eh, server bills. All better now! And yeah, tires: fairly important, I’ve noticed. 😉 -m
i love prairie storms. there’s nothing like being able to watch the weather roll in, the cool wind that comes before, the violence that comes with the storm and the cooling breeze afterwards. of course, tornadoes, hail and plow winds aren’t that much fun, but they surely are powerful to watch!
I love watching those big storms. -m
I totally agree about the storms. When I lived in KS, I was scared of tornados/storms first but then I realized it gets unbelievably humid and it’s sexy. I am gonna say it. It’s almost alternative sex. I get turned on. 🙂 Take good care of your left eye.
I think you might actually be the Horniest Man On Earth, Shigeki. *giggle* And I will, thanks! 😉 -m
mush- I’ll donate a few bucks to the tire fund. Don’t want you rolling around on rusted metal 😉
sorry to hear about the other eye ;-(
PS. shigeki has been really randy lately 🙂
Aw, you’re sweet. And yeah, we might need to start an escort-for-Shigeki-before-he-explodes fund while we’re at it. 😉 -m
Ah, summer storms (or are we still in spring?) are killer. We had the makings of one last night in Denver. It was just a tease though. We had a chilly breeze, thick clouds, and pre-storm goose bumps, yet no storm erupted. It did make for good sleeping weather.
Mmm. Sleeping. Denver? We’ll have to meet for a cocktail next time I’m out there. September at the latest! -m
