i dreamt i saw you walking
up a hillside in the snow
casting shadows on the winter sky
as you stood there counting crows
one for sorrow, two for joy,
three for girls, and four for boys,
five for silver, six for gold, and
seven for a secret never to be told

there's a bird that nests inside you
sleeping underneath your skin
when you open up your wings to speak
i wish you'd let me in

from "a murder of one" ~ counting crows
"it's getting hot in here, so take off all your clothes"

i went to get the truck fixed today.

that little sticker on my windshield cost $275 when all was said and done.

i called and called for quotes and got numbers that range from $195 - $664.69 the lowest was thrown out because though Dad had heard of them he didn't remember anything good. the highest was . . . assumed to be the highest mechanic i have ever spoken with. i finally called Dad and told him that i was terrified and that i just wasn't going to fix the truck. The Ronica would go live with her dad and i was moving into the break room at work. the convenience store is quite close and i can walk to it, they have TV, showers, refrigerators and freezers - i can wash clothes in the bathrooms at night and hang them dry.

he made a few calls and ran over to the welding shop and his welder, Lance, referred me to Route 66 Inspections in Watauga, Tx. he worked for them part time and is afraid of Dad so i was sold. i checked the mail and deposited the checks i got and then drove out there.

i was there for two or three hours in that little antique station off the freeway where the two fan wrestle for the control of the stack of paper on the desk and the air conditioner silently looks on, but i got my baby fixed for a good price by nice guys who dealt straight with me.

Mom picked The Ronica up and we all had breakfast for dinner and played Simpson's Clue.

i am home now and just want to say hi to my lovely Sarah who has a brand new look as of today. i love my Sarah and miss her terribly!

by the way - Finn is one multitalented guy . . . i wonder where he lives . . . Lexington, Kentucky dammit! i think he was offering something there but i'll be dammed if i can take him up on it with a few thousand miles between us! maybe instead of a good popping, i'll just make him a custom diary template . . . i always was a sucker for a cute 10 foot tall and invincible guy.
