Gonna be a busy week! (and an update for my commissioners)
9 years ago
So this coming week is gonna be hella busy for me. This weekend I'll be preparing for my trip up to canada, which includes vehicle maintenance and packing and all that SUPER FUN STUFF.
And then I have my birthday on monday, which I will be working and....probably not even doing anything tbh. Maybe I'll splurge and get Taco Bell! Lol. No, i'm JK. I will probably be getting a super awesome brush set for myself from this website: https://www.kylebrush.com/ iwantthatmegabrushpacksobadomfg But yeah, other than working, I don't really have any plans. I need to save money anyway for my trip at the end of next week. I'm sorta surprised it only takes me $50 to make a 400 mile trip up to canada....my car gets FABULOUS gas mileage when I let her loose on long stretches of road! And for a Cadillac DeVille, jumping from 19mpg to 24mpg....it's fuckin wonderful lol.
But about my car, I do have a few questions for you car nuts out there. Are there any ways that I can boost my mileage for city driving? The lowest I've been at is nearly 16mpg, and since I drive for work, spending $40 a week in gas is...well, it's unacceptable. I cannot trade it in either, as I dont want to add more years into paying off a car. Reason for that is that I only have two more years left to pay it off (maybe less if i use a good chunk of my tax returns to pay it off) and during the second year remaining is probably when I will be putting in my application for canadian residency (it's a 12 month process, gross). So...any ideas on how to get a big ol' land yacht better gas mileage? Besides getting a hydrogen kit?
But yeah, ANYWHO. I'll be heading to canada on the 22nd, and HOPEFULLY snoqualmie will be clear that day (the forecast said it SHOULD be with a few flurries, but hnnnn) and hopefully Rossland wont be too terrible either (anyone live in the Rossland BC area that can tell me what that godawful road down to Trail is like in the winter?). As far as the return trip, well that will depend on the weather as well. I'm SUPPOSED to be back the 26th, but I might stay til the 27th, because this will be the last chance i get with my fiance for a few months til my bigger trip in April that will have me there for three weeks.
Speaking of him, it's been TORTURE the last week not being able to talk to him. Because of some drama with his neighbor, the shared wifi wasnt paid and so now we have absolutely no way of contacting each other. He tried (i think) going to Telus to get his phone plan fixed, but since I haven't heard from him, I'm assuming they wont fix it for him. Telus is a TERRIBLE COMPANY. We've had nothing but problems from them. So fuck those guys man! BLAH.
But yeah, I wont really have an opportunity to work on commissions again until the new year hits, so sorry guys D: Luckily my queue only has three people in it (and a floater I owe lots of things to from years ago, no i havenlt forgotten Keldrin!).
Happy Holidays, everyone. Please do stay safe and warm out there, the weather's been INSANE here, and I can only imagine what it's like elsewhere.
Hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
