Flat Tires

So I am cursed when it comes to tires. I'm not even kidding! I get flat tires all of the time! In the rain, in the snow, doesn't matter the weather or time of day, I get flat tires all of the time!! No one else I know gets flats nearly as often as I do. In fact all the people all know haven't had flat tires the entire time I've known them, I get them all! So I got a flat on vacation while visiting my fiance in Stillwater, luckily I still had my brother Andy's air compressor from the last time I had a flat, so I aired up my tire and when I got back home I went to Hibdon and had my tire fixed, there was a screw in it. So I go see my friend and come home and the next morning I take Toto out for his walk and what do I see, the SAME tire is flat again!! So I had to go back today and get it fixed again! So they take my tire off and check it out but can't find anything wrong with it! Then why did it go FLAT!! Ugh! All I have to say is it better stay fixed this time or I'm going to be pissed and they will hear about it!!!

Writing

So I have been a writer since I was a little girl. I began with just rewriting stories I already knew, like Goldilocks, The Three Little Pigs and so on. Then when I got into upper elementary and middle school I began creating my own stories. Then in high school I stopped writing and began reading more, now I have picked up the pen again and I have a brilliant idea for a story which I have started on but I don't have any real experience in creative writing and don't know how to deal with things like writer's block or being frustrated with knowing what i want to say but not knowing how to write it. I see how I want things to go in my head but getting it down on paper can sometimes be difficult for me. Are these normal problems for writers? Or is it just a sign that I shouldn't try to be a writer?

Vacation

The reason we take vacations, is to relax and get away from jobs, or people we just cannot stand to be around for another second or quiet possibly both.  Or in my case to get away from work and the people there that I cannot stand! Ugh, I often wonder why I am forced to work with people who have no work ethics, they just sit around and be lazy not doing the job they are paid to be doing. I feel like at least half the time I am having to pick up after other people or take up their slack. These are grown adults, some of them twice my age that are acting less mature then myself. I mean come on folks you are adults act like it! This is my problem I expect adults to act like adults and not children. Children I expect it from because they do not know any better, adults know better and yet they refuse to do any better!! WTF! Grow up you are adults freaking act like it!!!
