Tire madness!
What a week I had last week. It was really bad, but surprisingly I am ok with that. When the weekend got here more bad things happen. Not all bad, had a couple happy things happen that make me not focus on the bad quite so much.
Saturday went to the Nashville Zoo for the first time ever. Work had a lunch thing there so we go to go for the day if we wanted. Not the greatest zoo I have ever been to, but it was pretty entertaining. Got to hang out with Sis and Julie which is something I don’t do enough of so that was good. On the way out we ran into Noelle and Ani which was a very pleasant surprise, I had not seen them in a couple of weeks.
On the way home from the zoo I was driving along minding my own business when I ran up on what looked to be a pallet that had been ran over by a few cars. Well I add another car to that count, since I could not avoid it. Thought it was no big deal and came home changed clothes and when for a little (and I do mean little I am still not doing all that great) jog/run. When I was coming back to where my car is parked I noticed that I was sitting a little funny. Well turns out my front driver side tire was completely flat. With the help of Sis got the ghetto little tire on there. Leah and Mandy were kind enough to come pick up on their way back from Cookeville so I did not have to try and drive that far on the stupid little tire. Sunday after church Leah and Heather where very sweet and drove me back home.
After I got back home I drove around trying to find a place to fix my tire. Finally found a place and was there for 15 minutes when they told me it could not be fix and that I would have to buy a new one. They had a list for me to pick from. None of them where the same brand as the tires already on my car, so I told them no thank you. They looked at me like I was the biggest idiot on the planet. I know it is stupid, but it would have driven me mad to not have all four tires being at least the same brand. To keep this from getting to much longer, I stayed out of work today to find a tire and now have four normal tires again all of the same brand. You have no idea how slow 50 is until you can’t drive over it with out dying.
