I've decided that although Winter is a very pretty season, it really has a way of destroying everything. Ugh. There was a really bad ice storm going on from about 4pm yesterday til 7am this morning. :sigh:
Last night, I was kinda bumming around on the computer til about 2:30a, when the power went out. Yayy! stare
I heard a really loud crashing sound outside in the backyard and freaked out, so I went outside to look. I had a flash light, and... there was a giant branch next to my car. I didn't want to go out and actually look because the ground was so icy and I'm clumsy as all heck. Soo.. then I'm still staring out and another branch drops right where the other branch was. I freaked, went back inside and grabbed a coat and stuffs. I walked outside and looked, and my drivers side window was shattered out, and the side mirror was gone on the drivers side. I was far away, so I couldn't see anything else. It was freezing rain.. and I had a lot of important papers and scrapbooks and pictures on the front passenger seat. SO! I went out there with a few bags and bagged up some stuff to bring in, and saw the windshield was cracked with a hole in it. UGH. When I got out of the car, I slammed the door shut and started walking away, and I heard a really loud crack above me. I went to run out of the way, and slipped. So I ran into a tree, and missed a branch of about a 6 inch diameter and lots of branches attached to it -- by only about a foot.
All in all, I was pissed. And scared. I got back inside and went to bed, and went out this morning. Driver window needs replacing. Driver door needs replacing. Windshield needs replacing. AND I need a new driver side mirror. Guess who doesn't have money..! (me) sweatdrop
