Great cover song.
‘Sweet Child of Mine’ by Taken By Trees
Happy/Sad
Happy that:
The Lakers Won
I’m getting a lot of work done on my side project
My nephew turned One today
Summer is almost here
Sad that:
My iphone is kinda broken
I still havent been paid two entire paychecks by former douche employers
Time goes by so quick
I suck at keeping in touch
Today I miraculously kept my never-ran-out-of-gas-before streak alive. I thought I was going down for sure.
I couldn’t afford gas this morning. So, I left for work on empty, my drive is about 23 miles. Needless to say, ass load of traffic as usual. I was pretty confident I could make it TO work but I knew coming home I was going to run out of gas.
I made it to work in about 30 minutes with my gas needle waaaay below the empty line.
All day at work I was dreading having to call someone to come bail me out when I would inevitably run out of gas. At 3pm I mustered up some courage and went for it.
My truck barely started when I turned the key, and immediately started making funny noises. I pressed on.
As I drove 45 mph in the far right line, I was nervous as fuck. Each mile I made it I thought how that would just be one less mile to drive for whoever it was that was going to bail me out.
Each time there was a negative grade I bumped her into neutral. Each time traffic made me stop and re-accelerate I got real fucking pissed.
Somehow I managed to make it home and a shiny new paycheck was waiting for me in the mail. So I rode my bike up to the bank and cashed it. Then heroically made it a mile in my truck to a gas station for a fill-up.
Wow. I was so god damn relieved.
