Okay, so drag myself out of bed this morning, shower, get ready, bug the cats, get lunch, and head out to work.

All perfectly normal, right? Right.

Until all of a sudden there's a pop and then I can hear thud, thud, thud, coming from the driver's side, passenger tire. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I had a flat. Joy.

Didn't hit anyone, didn't hit anything - well, other than what gave me the flat, darn thing. Got off the highway, got to a parking spot, opened the trunk, pulled out the spare, found the jack, decided it would be a good plan to call in and tell folks I was going to be late. While I was on the cell phone, a very nice fellow with his son stopped right next to me and asked if I needed help. Well, I said yes, and they changed the tire for me, as well as gave me directions to the nearest Canadian Tire. Bless their hearts and souls. Very very nice. I appreciate it no end - such kind and wonderful good samaritans. Okay, yes, I was about to call CAA, but you know, it's things like this that remind me that it's good to live in Canada sometimes.

Anyway, there was a Tim's at the Canadian Tire, so I was refreshed with coffee and a fruit explosion muffin. And only an hour and a half late to work.

There is that. Plotting is much easier on weekends, as witness my outburst of @mails. ;)

Then again, procrastination works wonders for that too.

Yes, that outburst of @mails was quite frightening. I'm not used to having that many @mails at once.

Though I'm a believer in procrastination myself, yes. ;)

Well, you know - there was a lot of glee in me at finally being free. ;)

Or something like that.

Did you send all this rain my way?
