It didn't keep me from crossing but I sure as hell made sure I wasn't in a Yugo.






*Booty call. It's possible I would have driven a Yugo for it, I don't know.

I like to flirt with danger! Good thing I didn’t have the means to satisfy my wanderlust and thirst for adrenaline twenty years ago. I drove a Plymouth Horizon. Similar to a Yugo.

Thirty years ago, I was in eighth grade. While I was in geography class, Hoser was out there crossing geography for that ass!

My husband has been in the hospital for 100 days today. That seems so monumental to me, but maybe not. He's lost 85 pounds since he was admitted.

I've used most of the money I had access to. I got the mortgage paid. I just applied to Meals on Wheels. I'm on a wait list. The person I talked to said it shouldn't be more than 3 weeks.

My friend who takes me to the hospital has some other commitments next week, so I won't be able to visit.

I'm afraid. I'm NEVER afraid of anything, but now I'm afraid.

Edit: I didn't come here for anything. I just needed to vent.
