winter_elfDid 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.
