hell's on earth, and it just froze over :(

-10F/-20C today. Had to take public transportation to work, because my car is stuck in the frozen snow yet again. I knew it was stuck as soon as I parked it last night - there was this sudden shift as the tires slid into the groove. And I thought I had picked a relatively safe, even parking spot.:/ Anyway... standing around waiting for a bus/train in such hellish temperatures is NOT FUN. After about five minutes, everything starts to hurt. Your fingers hurt. Your toes hurt. Your face hurts. Your fucking LUNGS hurt as you breathe. After 15 minutes you're almost ready to fall over, and then want to hug the bus driver and thank him for rescuing you from certain death as he arrives.;)

I got home nearly three hours ago, and my toes are still tingling. Started the car (it actually starts!... groaning and wheezing a lot, of course, but man, a 12-year-old car starting in this weather is nothing short of a miracle... lol), poured some salt around the tires and moved back and forth a bit, but I don't hold high hopes for being able to get out of my parking spot tomorrow morning. So... public transportation again. It's supposed to be a bit warmer, though - as in somewhere around 5F/-15C. A hell of an improvement, really. And then almost up to the freezing point over the weekend (we were laughing at work today, saying it's gonna be a heatwave... lol). I wonder if that means I'll be able to get my car out. I'm stocked up on groceries for the time being, but will have to shop at some point next week - and I can't really do any substantial grocery shopping without my car.:(

Anyway... the tingling toes seem to suggest I'm still alive, but my brain feels numb. The two mugs of piping hot tea I had after dinner are making me pleasantly woozy. All I can think of right now is my WARM, comfy bed. I need SLEEEEEP. *yawns*

Wake me up sometime in April, k?... *passes out*
