Not much has been happening here. The weather hasn't been the greatest and I'm coming down with something. So lots of Netflix and reading time since the apartment is still clean..amazing how that happens when it's just me here ;). Yesterday was a day from Hades if there ever was one though. The past few days I noticed a rattle when I drove my car, not a good sign (and further proof Murphy's Law is real) so I took it to Firestone since I knew I needed two new tires anyways. Turns out, my shocks and struts were bad. Now, normally this is just wear and tear maintenance but before we went to Florida in December, we had those replaced. And thanks to my handy dandy app, I had proof. So it all got fixed (labor included, yay!) and when I first bought new tires for the feisty Fusion, I had bought the lifetime alignment. So I didn't have to drop $150 on that like I was worried I was going to.
My Gamma just bought me some books for my Nook and I read two out of the three she got me. Anyone remember the Sweet Valley twins? I bought a few of the adult ones and they are just as addicting. 6 hours later and there's no more rattle so I can drive safely again, which is really good because I currently have Snapshot from Progressive plugged in ( anything to save money). I had leftover homemade stir-fry for dinner and I rewatched last week's episode of Hollywood Game Night.
Moral of this post is, try to buy warranties if you can. Had I not, yesterday's ordeal would have cost us over a grand =(.
