Orphan Day

This week, due to the holiday, Thursday is the middle of the week. Sort of. And not much of a day either.

What’s saddest about today is I missed my workout. Yesterday’s was a killer and I looked fwd to today’s. But, I had an appointment at 930. I tried to change it to a late time to get in a workout. But, she did not answer any of my texts. Or calls. Dumb ass. She does not understand the etiquette of telephones.

I have a problem. No, not that. My right rear tire has a very slow leak in it. It goes from full to half full in 3 days. I figure today, while in Dixon for my appointment, I can go to Haughn’s and get it fixed. Maybe a new tire.

Trip to Dixon was fast though I was still 15 mins late. My appointment was quick and, by the way, her child custody case is going in her favor. Just sayin.

I have another appointment in an hour. Time for the tire shop. What did they say about my tire? We will never know because they were closed today. I did call the owner, an old friend, currently traveling in Wyoming and he was surprised they were closed. His own shop. So no tire fix.

I decided to consort with the enemy. I drive the 1/4 mile to Les Schwab Tires. Part of the evil empire. I noticed, upon arrival, no one came running out to greet me like on TV. Went inside, took a few minutes to find someone. They took the car in right away. Came back 30 mins later and told me I need new tires. They refused to fix my leaking tire. They did not air up my tires. It was free. Two out of three.

Went to my next appointment, getting my haircut. Also, got to hear all the gossip in town and what happened during Christmas. And, so you know, Kevin got a new knee.

When I finally looked perfect, it was time for work. No issues on the road. No issues at work either. I have one appointment at 3 and nothing else planned. Just the usual crap. So one hour of talking and five hours of flushing. So to speak.

Winco was calling my name in the drive home. Also needed a quick stop to air up the bad tire. Not a good sign. I had to stop for a couple pounds of lunch meat. They have the best price by far.

Headed home from there. No issues.

Dinner was on when I arrived. We are having pulled pork on sweet potatoes. Yeah, sounds weird. It was excellent. Who knew? I guess Emily did.

I have been watching Tv for the last 90 mins, since dinner. I am getting up to do dishes and then it’s bed time.
