tree in driveway + need to get car outta driveway = problem. problem + meeting = late. girl with small hand saw + conquering big tree = yeah right, I need tree company number or a guy or both. car was in garage not in driveway + storm = blessing. girl who does cross fit + possibility of moving tree enough to get out of the driveway = good chance. start of the day + life = girl still fighting. problem + a few days time = hilarious
