xianeTorrential rain all day. I was looking forward to it, actually - a nice, rainy day in which to sit in front of the computer with a hot cup of coffee and Get Things Done. After yesterday's glorious weather, I was ready for it.
I didn't get as much done as I would have liked, though. Upon waking up, I did my usual routine of feeding the Squeegee Cat, heating water and making coffee, making a bowl of cereal and soy milk, and logging into Trillian to talk to my diligently-working husband. He gently broke it to me - my slow-leak afflicted right rear tire had given up the ghost. I peered through the soaked window screen to see for myself: flatter than a pancake.
I managed to stave off getting a new tire for almost two years, I suppose that was quite a feat. I wasn't upset, because I knew that it was just a matter of time before I'd have to break down and get new tires... but why oh why do tires have to cost so much? Because I have 4WD I'll have more expensive tires, and I think I'll have to purchase a full set. Of course, I really should do that anyway, with the traveling I do and plan to do this year. My car needs a tune up [still] and an oil change as well.
Because I'm trying to get this business started, this is a tough hit in the bank account. I have a good amount of credit to play with [I can't believe I can say that! So amazing] and some cash in savings that I'd rather not touch. Rob offered to cover part of it on his credit card, too, but I think I'd rather put it on mine and leave his free for emergencies if possible.
In that vein, I'll be selling some stuff that I'd been planning on selling anyway. Anyone interested in a pair of 20 eye Gripfast boots, worn but still in fabulous condition, purple and black laces included [if I can find the black ones, I'm pretty sure I know where they are], size 8M or 10W, steel toe? I'm looking for $50 plus shipping.
I'll have photos of them and other good things, hopefully tomorrow after I get my spare tire put on my car. In the meantime, if you're interested in the Gripfasts, let me know!
