I feel bad that after 4-5 good days (including a visit from Aimee and Chris and our 2nd anniversary) I'm writing right now in a pretty crappy mood.

Last night I went out to ship some things I had sold on ebay. On the way back I heard a weird brushing-type sound from my left front tire. I just wanted to get home so I could take a look at it since it was 10pm and there wasn't really anywhere to stop. Of course, once I was SURE my tire was going flat I was just about to go up a hill about 10 minutes from home. I drove and drove, hearing worse noises from my tire as I went on. At the point where I was driving on the rim I was able to turn right at a stoplight onto a side-street.

Yeap, it was on the rim. And worse, the tire was totally shredded. I don't know how it happened...I didn't notice anything jarring until I heard the brushing noise. Of course, there's nothing like Florida idiots blowing by you as you're changing a tire on a hot, humid, weekday night. Some idiot didn't even get into the other lane all the way while passing me...not that there was ANY other traffic around for him to avoid. Idiot.

So I get back home, my knees killing me from having to kneel in the street, I took a shower and got ready to go to bed. I went out to get a pillow that was on the chair and banged my left knee on our coffee table giving myself a nice bleeding gash that still hurts right now. Good times.

We're going to the Yankees/Devil Rays game tonight. The Cubs won last night so they are 1-1 in the MHBOOTT* era. I got a nice Cubs jersey from Court for our anniversary and she liked the thing I got her so that's good.
