Thanks guys!
*hugs the gang*
Good things today:
Cold weather, snow falling, freezing - brrrr!
Colleague Christoffer and I stuffed the truck with some big garbage crates filled with sorted stuff (Cardboard - metal -glass - electronics) and took it to the garbage container yard.
Because we had planned it well, chucking stuff out went like a dream, and Christoffer was a great help.
It was nice to get that over and done with fast, and then it was back to coffee and cake this afternoon - yum!
And getting praised for not being afraid or worried when manoeuvering the truck in the snow, in tight places or driving it backwards into the garage - that only confirms that I got the right thing going:
I see challenging weather and places when driving, as a challenge, and not something to fear - and it'll only improve my ability to drive really well, which is only a benefit.
I don't care if I'm driving in narrow old city streets with cobblestones and parked cars on each side of the truck, in snow, rain, on gravel paths or whatever - to me it's fun to deal with stuff like that.
And frankly I think that that kind of view is a benefit, instead of (like many of my female friends do), view the maintenance and driving of the car as something that's mainly for husbands or boyfriends to do.
Er - no, I prefer to be able to take care of things myself, thanks!
Did I ever mention that I love to drive?
Afterwards, it was totally awesome to be able to get in my parent's car, go visit a thrift shop and get a nice bargain: A Parker ball point pen and fountain pen with ink cartridges for 30 DKK.
Then I did some shopping for mom and dad, and went home.
Ahhh - dinner soon, and then coffee and relaxing.
