Ice Road Trucking... in a Honda Civic

Latest adventure here in Louisville happened a little after midnight last night.  I managed to make it safely to pick Louden up from work last night and thought that would be the last of my death defying acts for today but oh was I wrong.  We got to our driveway (aka ice hill) that goes to the parking lot of our apartment building and made it about half way up and the car just couldn't get traction on the ice.  Thank God that Louden was driving because I probably would have had us completely sideways, sliding down the hill of death into the 4 lanes of traffic below but Louden handled the car quite well. We tried about 6 or 7 times to get up the hill, we would hit it at top speed get almost to the top and then start spinning tires, then have to slide our way back down as safely as possible because even if you manage to avoid scraping the car down the side of a rock face and dodge the fellow residents who are trying to go down the hill you still have a major 4 lane road at immediate end of the hill.  Haha, no room for error! By this time I have lost it and I am of no use to Louden as he is telling me to find the emergency number the apartment people gave us to call.  I folded like a lawn chair and just started crying because I began to think "oh my, what if this happens again and I am by myself trying to get home?!"  Because if I get the job at Home of the Innocents, I am second shift which means I get off at 11 o'clock at night Sunday through Thursday.  We finally decided to just park the car at the bottom of the hill at a nearby shop and walk up the hill, which was almost just as dangerous.  Louden finally found the "emergency" number that no one answered and left a heated voicemail about how we were told when we signed the lease that the hill is salted regularly during snow/ice storms but clearly it is not because he can't get up the hill to get home after work tonight!  The emergency contact person returned his call shortly after and explained to us that they salt the hill every 4hrs and will move up the time of the next salting so we can retrieve our car.  It was a crazy night to say the least because when we got home and finally got in bed we noticed our heat wasn't working!  Louden got up and visited the main office this morning to voice his concerns and frustrations.  As of now we have heat again and the honda is back in our apartment parking lot so hopefully this doesn't become a habit.  It's funny now when I picture us hitting that hill at top speed in the little honda civic but I never want to do that again. Haha, ever.
