I FIXED MY CAR

So Dallas was closed again today. Both work and UBS were closed today and I couldn't possibly be forced to stay inside all day again. The craziest part of that is I could totally spend two days at home and be just fine, but being told I had to by mother nature was just a kick in the throat.

So operation unfreeze car went something like this... I defied death by walking across the icy front lawn to my car. I started her up and let it run for about 20 minutes to try to let it warm up. That didn't do ANYTHING. I looked online at ways to defrost the parking brake cable. They said to do exactly what I did except you should pile the snow around the sides so the warm air won't leak from the sides. I don't have any snow however... only inches and inches of ice. Instead I put on my old thinking cap and thought about all of the things I could use. (Cue light bulb) Hello there, quilt lady. I have an abundance of extra fabric. I dashed inside (as quick as one can dash over a frozen yard) and grabbed some fabric. I rigged it in each door like so:



I waited another 20 minutes or so and did a little celebratory dance in the drivers seat when I realized it was no longer frozen!! I was free at last! YESSSSSSS

I decided to go gyming since my training session would be canceled again two days in a row (I worked out both days by the way). It took me about 20 minutes to get to my gym which is less than 2 miles away, but it doesn't matter because I made it!! I finally made it! Then on my way home I decided to stop by Target (bad decision). I went up a bit of a hill and got stuck. There I was in the middle of this teeny tiny hill, stuck. So unbelievably stuck. I backed out and got out as quick as I could. Luckily I made it to Target and home again.


ice skating, anyone?
