Goddamn, I get fucking bitchy in the winter. Portland is pretty much covered in ice right now. It's horrible. Still overhyped, considering the fact that our local Fox affiliate was doing contiuous around the clock news coverage on the storm for a couple of days, even when it wasn't raining, wasn't doing anything! Yeah, the city was shut down, yeah, everythings a fucking mess, but on with the tv! So things have been frozen for a few days and it's been really sucky. I couldn't go to work yesterday. Not a chance at getting the car broken out. And this was Jenn's car, not mine. My Miata wouldn't stand a chance in this shit. Then tonight I was supposed to work, so jenn and I went out and dug her car out of the parking lot and broke all the ice off of it and everything and went for a horrible drive to the grocery store. It was horrible, and by the time I got home I figured that even if the roads were drivable, sort of, that I was not going to work again. Just not worth it. And I'm supposed to go tomorrow morning as well, so I'm really hoping that things will be warming up overnight and thawing out a bit. On our trip to the grocery store I was just ornery and felt shitty. This is seriously one of the major reasons I left Utah. I can't fucking describe how much I hate snow and ice. It just makes me miserable to no end. I'm a fucking moody bitch, I know. Hopefully this will be over and done with soon. It's supposed to warm up this weekend, so hopefully it will add up to a quick melt. I don't want to continue being ornery. I think a big chunk of it is that my job is pretty much just driving around, so it's not a matter of enduring a shit commute to work, it's that once I get there I'm only in for more horrible driving. Blah. Fuck it all. I've got cabin fever. I want warm temperatures. I don't even care if it rains! Although I would sure like to take my top down. Bitch and moan.

I'm working on a new painting. I needed to paint over the one I had hanging in the living room. I grew to hate it very quickly. The new one is going to be good, I know it. It's going to take a while though. It's really unlike things I generally paint, so it should be interesting. And here I thought I had given up painting. We'll see how this one goes.

Alright. I'm going to go pout or something and wait for the ice to melt.
