Wow Murphy - what did I do to you?
Did I spit in your coffee? make jokes? What? Let me tell you, nothing like a little Murphy hitting you over the head when it's going to do you the most frustration.
I had dinner tonight at the mall then headed home in plenty of time to watch the two Wed night shows I enjoy - Arrow & Supernatural. I hadn't set the VCR because I was planning to be home. Yea, you can see this coming.
On the way home I get a flat tire on the freeway. In the FOG! Luckily, I have AAA, so calling a tow-truck is no hassle. However he finds out that 1) my donut (mini) spare is flat and 2) I have a stripped lug-nut. He has air for the tire (and hope it works). But by now it's 8:30pm - so almost everything is closed. No chance of getting a new tire tonight - and, of course, I have a dentist appointment first thing in the morning that I made 6 months ago.
We're not far from a mall w/ a Sears, so the tow-truck follows me there. However they are closing and do not carry lug-nuts and will not sell me a tire. *sigh* He does suggest an auto parts store still open a few stops back on the freeway, so I'm off to get a lug-nut. Try #2 - I get a lug-nut. But I'm still on a donut tire that might go flat in the morning when I have to get to my dentist, who's not close.
By the time I get home, my shows are over, and of course, one was one I was really looking forward to. And I'll have to buy a new tire tomorrow - thrills. More than likely, two, since they'll give me the whole lecture about just buying one new with my older ones.
*head/desk* What a night.

So sorry the tires are looking old. We need to all win the lottery, so we can just spend our time reading all the lovely fic available. Thanks for the stuff, by the way, and I'll be returning your email with some neat things added--as soon as I actually remember to do so when I have some time!
