Still Overall....

That wee bit of money I had hidden under the mattress? Quick on its way to being no more it is. Well, it isn't a complete hardship but frustrating ne'er the less. See, I was out driving around-I was going to go to an in-store at Grimey's. Not because I knew the band-but because they're free. Right within my pricerange. But first I stopped off at the Sally Army and bought a grater. Then I was going to go over to Sears outlet to see what sort of outletted washer dryer sets a person could buy using a credit card. I was over in the 100 Oaks Mall/Berry Hill area. When my car started wobbling.
"That---is not right." I thought to myself.
Then the car started pulling far to the right. "Very...not right..."
So I pulled over and had a flat tire and I was far from pleased but all in stride. I took it all in stride. The local gas station service station fella said would be $60 but I didn't see anything saying warranty. Or-to be honest I only trust my fine deluxe automobiles to Firestone Tires cuz that's what I've always had and the service is good no matter. Usually a bit more but I have a loyalty thing. And a credit card with a rather high limit should horrible events occur.
Anyhoo-for $16 they changed the tire. Feck me but I coulda changed the tire if I weren't so stressed. I HAD a dummy tire wouldn't that have been convenient. Or there's that AAA the parents pay for-but it was late and I was afraid waiting would leave me stranded across town with no one to change the tire tonight.
Driving on the temporary tire made me nervous and I pulled into the first Firestone I saw. They said I had roadside hazard or something-tire replacement. Maybe even free. Did I feel glad I didn't pay $60 oh yeh. But then they told me would be another $65 to fix it. And then I got all messy-near tears very upset damn it fuck I can't afford that I thought it would be $45 like the last tire replacement was. Damn, what am I going to do?
"So you can afford $45?" the guy asked.
"Yeh, I mean it's quite a bit, but I can swing it I guess."
He conferred a bit typed some stuff in the computer and turned back around, "We can do it for $46 is that alright?"
"Yeh, that's really great THANK YOU!"
Then they fixed my tire. But I missed the in-store and I am kinda cranky you know cuz of the tire and the money and all. But it still cost about the same as the no-name tire and I have a good tire and a warranty and all in all such is life.
