so today i talked to a guy who can do sheetrock and the siding detail, which means the only thing that has not been taken care of is the new floor, which i am going to do myself. things are looking good, i hope to really have everything done before thanksgiving. that’d be awesome, because my family will probably meet at my aunt and uncle’s like usual and it’d be really great to have everyone over to see my house afterward. so its looking very likely at this point, and i hope it continues.

today on the way home from work, i dropped off something to mail at the post office, and braved the traffic between the post office and my house. len was with me, and we took shortcuts and backroads in order to cut down on the sitting in traffic time. we cut through the area near the mall, specifically the parking lot, and as we were coming to the exit, this guy in an astro van starts to pull in front of me like he didn’t see me. so i blew the horn, and he stopped going over in my lane. i passed like normal, well the guy continues blowing his horn. so we sit in traffic, and then we pull out onto the road. when the guy passes us in the other lane, he has his hand out the window and flips us (but i guess technically just me since i was driving) off. wtf? those are the kind of people i would like to leave town now. i don’t know where they came from or what they lost, but if they have zero sense when it comes to driving, then get the hell out of my town. is it difficult to comprehend, when you are getting a horn blown at you, that usually means you are doing something A) stupid or B) something where you’re not looking. never does it mean when you are doing it, you have the opportunity to blow back and flip the person off like they were wrong. in the case of the guy in the astro van today, it was A and possibly B. i guess he did not understand the rules of the road fully, but then again, maybe that’s why he was driving an old beat up van in the first place. the dumbass.

after that episode, i got home and for the first time this week didn’t have to worry about calling anyone or doing anything. i went outside late afternoon and picked up more debris in my yard because….THE DEBRIS TRUCKS ARE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD! i know its not a big deal for pretty much everyone who reads this, but you have no idea how it is to have two giant piles of debris in your front yard, and just having them sit there for a couple of months. so maybe by the end of the week, the debris will be gone. i can only hope. :)

let's go pick up some crap!
