"...i got my truck stuck in the trench along my driveway..."

The good news is that I have four wheel drive but the bad news is that my truck tires were so previously worn that they're now "bald". One of The Daisy's was distracting me as we were leaving yesterday to go to the laundry and grocery. I veered into the quasi-trench off the side of my drive and the left wheels were firmly wedged in the trench, like when you go to the drive-through car wash. The Daisy's whined while Norman and Franklin cheered me on as I got out to inspect my position not only of my wheels but the proximity of the three hundred foot vertical drop of the side of my "driveway". Good thing I didn't over-correct as we veered off...


I used a few techniques that any seasoned four wheel drive owner knows and within fifteen minutes, we were free and on our way. Initially I wasn't too confident that I could do it on my own but Girl Did Good. At one point I put the truck in DRIVE, opened my door and standing outside against the truck, I pushed with my body, and leaning into the foot well I pushed the gas pedal with a bottle of water. I'm MacGyver!

 

"...valentine's day and i miss my dogs..."

Heating my bath water on the stove now as my pj's toss in the camper's little dryer and wondering what I want for dinner. Norman, Franklin and The Daisy's have eaten and are now settling in for the night.

Tonight coming down my drive, my eyes kept looking for my dogs that I used to have,
more out of habit than expectation but for some reason tonight I'm missing them all, more than usual...for Valentine's Day I want my life with my dogs back but I'm never, ever going to get back what we all had.
