The past few nights, after dark we have been hearing what my husband is convinced are gunshots. We live in a rural area, and I don’t think that they are gunshots – no one would be shooting after dark! I think one of the neighbors just got their hands on some illegal fireworks and have simply been having a good time setting them off over the past couple of nights. At least that’s what I HOPE it has been! Fortunately they stop by ten pm, so we don’t lose too much sleep – I’d be very annoyed if they went on much later than that – I am an “early to bed and early to rise” person!
Had a flat tire today
by Mary AnneOn my way home from work I had a flat tire. I was glad it was on the way home from work, and not on the way TO work, as it would have made me late for work and the office has a pretty tough “tardy” policy. (Note to self – look for a new job, these people are not very nice!)
I was very glad that I have AAA insurance for just this kind of thing, I used my cell phone to call them and they sent a truck out with a guy to change my tire. I’m really glad my spare was good! So tomorrow I have to take my old tire to the tire shop and see if it can be repaired, or if I will need a new one. The guy who changed my tire seemed to think I was going to need a new one, and I suspect he’s right. If it isn’t one thing, it’s another! Money doesn’t seem to sit in my bank account very long!
