END OF THE ROAD
Well it turns out it's the end of the road for the Xterra... I had no choice but to hurry up and find something. I went where my dad got his car - they had an Xterra on their other lot. I called yesterday and they went and got it and had it all cleaned up and ready for me sight unseen.  I really thought that I would just hand over my keys and get the new ones and be out of there.  I hate car shopping and hate deciding on anything. I just wanted to be done before I even got there.  Turns out 12 years later - nobody I know would be able to get in the back seat - especially without running boards or whatever they are called... The back doors don't open wide enough - worse than the one I had. So I thought I was going home with this - but I didn't.

More to come...

ONE OF THESE THINGS IS NOT LIKE THE OTHERS
We had Fish Fry Friday tonight...

I don't like fish so I ordered a Pacino.

I figured God has more on me than eating meat on Friday.

IN SICKNESS AND IN HEALTH
I'm back to not sleeping again... pretty much ever. When I finally do I'm up in a couple hours.  It's been really bad. I've been super busy and super scattered and super sick. I don't watch tv anymore but when I do I have a marathon session. I did catch up on Shameless and The Mindy Project and New Girl the last couple nights.

THE LITTLE ENGINE THAT COULDN'T
I left work tonight and all of a sudden I heard this noise and it sounded like I was driving a freight train. This may be the last time I drop the Xterra off at Vinnie's. ;-(

COOKING IT OLD SCHOOL
I never really used the microwave much... I remember the first microwave we had - it was gigantic... we cooked bacon and popcorn in it - maybe a baked potato. Oh and I think my dad would try an egg every now and then in a styrofoam cup!  Oh God.  Whenever we used it, my grandmother would literally run and hide in her bedroom because she was afraid it was going to screw around with her pacemaker. It was pretty much a big monstrous clock in the kitchen.The microwave here blew up about a month ago and I threw it away... I haven't gotten around to getting another one yet. We're  not really missing it very much.

TAKE IF YOU WILL A PICTURE...
I went to take the dog out this morning and saw some feathers blowing in the wind - stuck on the porch railing... soft, white, fluffy feathers....kind of looked like tiny baby angel wings fluttering in the wind.

I looked down on the ground and there were a couple more feathers.  Then I saw this...

It was just laying on the chair right below the railing... look at the little pool of blood next to it. ;-( Is it a dove?  I don't even know. I think it is.
