The local flying J told me that they switch out to winter diesel when the temperature in the tanks drop to so and so much.

FWIW, Andrew, about this time of the year, the stations are switching to winter blend. Don't bother asking the attendant if they have or not, they will just give you a blank stare...

My local station puts a decal on the pump to tell you they have switched to the winter blend.

A little more OT bitching...I've also been spending most of my free time over at my stepmom's too trying to get her house cleaned out so my realtor can set her house up to try and get it sold ASAP before she loses it. She has more STUFF than I have ever seen my entire life. My brother, sisters and myself have been working together for the last few weeks trying to get this house cleaned out. My realtor finally took over the business end of things, my stepmom had originally decided to let one of her "friends" who is a part-time realtor try to sell the house..and now we're on borrowed time. Trying to get that place sold before it goes into foreclosure.

Luckily we have all of my dad's stuff out of there so we don't have to worry about losing those possessions to the bank.

My poor realtor, has to deal with my contracts and inspections and whatnot and is dealing with my stepmom's mess too. Well, we're all dealing with my stepmom's mess right now. This is all stuff that should have been done many months ago but we couldn't convince her that we needed to get that house sold.

Yeah...one of the reasons I was willing to move. I love my family to death and there are no people in this world that can make me laugh like they can, but its just too much drama. There is always something going on, always someone wants to call me and get me involved in whatever soap opera is currently underway. Somewhere along the line I became the dependable one and I get tied up in the middle of the messes.

I need a slooowww dooowwwn.

All of that and work issues. Not fun. I bet your days fly by for the most part with all that on your plate.

I know what gives right? For me, drama comes in waves. Its either all or nothing.

On the boss front, he hasn't said one word to me today so far. I'll take silent and angry..I can handle that.

October has flown by. I am anxious to get my house sold so I can get outta here. My weekend with Randy was so relaxing, I almost forgot what that was like.

Yeah I have margarita in the fridge at home and I have to admit it sounds mighty appetizing right now.

Nolan, how are the horsies?

Well, I think I need pictures. I love horses. I keep trying to convince Randy that we need one once we buy some property. I want a big boy or girl, kind of like Hansome!
