no cruise for me and great karma

edgar has been sick the last two days (we think he ate bad cheese on saturday because its the only thing he ate differently than me for a 24 hour period). he spent sunday on the toilet or pucking all day and yesterday just on the toilet. i didn't see him at all on sunday because the weather was really bad and he didn't want me to drive. but i went over there yesterday after work. first, i stopped at cvs and got him medicine, then at blockbuster to get him a movie (i, robot - mediocre but DAMN will smith is jacked these days!). then i get to his house . . . his driveway is NOT well shoveled - and its at a little bit of a slope. so, i got stuck going in. him and his dad came out and fixed it. then, on the way out, i got stuck again. there is just something about snowy weather and tight spaces (his street isn't that wide, his driveway is really not big) i don't like hitting the gas as hard as i can (which *apparently* is my big problem). i hang out with edgar until 11ish and then i leave. i do NOT make it out of the driveway. i get myself stuck a little and then unstuck and am almost out of the driveway (my front wheels are practically in the street) and it ends. my car stops moving forward or backwards, completely wedged in to the piles of snow at the base of the driveway. i call edgar, he comes out and can't immediately get it unstuck either. then a car comes. the car has JUST enough room to get around my car but it stops, so i'm thinking maybe the driver doesn't want to just pull around and have edgar still hitting the gas. remember - edgar lives in the ghetto. he has heard shootings while sitting in his room. so, when the big black guy gets out and ask if we need help (i'm standing in the street) I was a bit nervous. i knocked on the window and am like umm . . . do we need a push? edgar says yes. this big black dude TOTALLY saved the day. i was hitting the gas, he and edgar were pushing (i seriously got myself stuck)

so, i drive home. MY driveway has a similar problem - only i know how to get in it. when making a right into the driveway, you just have to make it a little wide (even in the summer because otherwise you hit the curb) but wait, am i pulling in in the singularly most busy moment of probably the last hour. so, i feel that it is in bad form to make a wide right into the line of cars in the left lane. so - i get stuck again. but far enough into my driveway that everyone can get around me! i give up and just call jess immediately. before she came down, traffic had cleared so i got myself unstuck - but since she was there and i was frustrated, i just let her pull it in.

I HATE ROCHESTER WEATHER!

it was snowing when i left edgars, it was snowing when i woke up this morning. at least the last two days have been reasonable amounts so that the roads are ok.

ok, that was my complaining for the day. eun might be staying home today because a child is sick, so basically i have no direction AGAIN. oh well. i shouldn't complain about boring days. maybe i should read the immunology text so i have some clue of what i'm doing . . .
