Tuesday, it snowed.
Wednesday, my sister Kimba came over, helped me with my drapes, helped dig my car out from our back driveway, and then I was locked out of my new place, so she drove us to our parents' house.
An hour or two later, my uncle drove me back, and one of my roommates (who had come home while I was out) opened the door. If she hadn't, my uncle has lock picks 'cause he used to be a locksmith. So, either way, I would've gotten in.
I FINALLY found the music books (and my fanfic binder!) I'd been looking for the whole week, and brought them over. But I forgot to look for my electronic tuner, so playing the guitar is still out for now.
It snowed again, and sometime on Wednesday evening, they must have plowed the road behind my new place, because there was a mound of snow right back on the end of the driveway where Kimba had shoveled. And it was melted and re-frozen snow, so it was nothing more than white-colored, solid ICE!
I couldn't get my little VW Bug over the mound of snow at all yesterday, so I called out from work again and spent the day here, bored. But I DID manage to get a new blog set up, and pictures posted on that blog of my new place! (

This morning, I got the car half-way over the mound of frozen snow, but as soon as the back tires were over, they hit the road with a "KA-CHUNK!" and the car bottomed-out on the ice mound. I probably would have been able to get the car over the rest of the way, but I was afraid that the hard, icy snow would scrape up something underneath the car that it would require to run properly, and I can't afford to get the car fixed right now.
So, I called out from work again. Luckily, I have more than three days' worth of vacation time saved up, so I won't have to go without pay for this.
Kimba came over again at around noon, and she basically shaved off the top half of the mound where I'd be moving the car off of the driveway. The road is icy too, but at least it can be driven on without scraping anything.
We tested her handiwork, and she got the car out just fine. Now, next time I go out, I'll be able to drive wherever.
I've been online, reading
Phil of the Future fanfiction all day so far. It's just not fair that as soon as I discovered I liked that show, my sister told me (on Wednesday) that the show's been cancelled.
Ironically, she also told me the basic gist of the series finale (I had asked her "Do Phil and Keely
EVER get together?!?--'cause I'd seen just enough episodes to know that they should.) plus a couple of plot points, and that night, they SHOWED that very episode! Talk about karma.
So, here I am, freezing my butt of on the second floor of my new place. The thermostat is set at 70F, but it sure doesn't feel like it! Even when I'm sitting downstairs in the room with the fireplace on, it feels COLD.
I wonder if there's anything good on TV yet (I'm never home at this time of day, so I don't really know, but I DO know that I don't want to watch little-kid shows like
Dora the Explorer or
The Wiggles or something).
