"if you are on the right path - it will always be uphill"
today was one of those days... this morning i spilled a cup of water on the kitchen table... right next to my laptop, it went under and somewhat in it, but didn't automatically short out (that's a miracle in itself!)... so i grabbed my external hard drive that's plugged into the tv for the kids to watch movies on and quickly copied everything off the computer onto it. phew. i dried it again, the best i could and then restarted, only to have the mouse go funny and skip large amounts of the screen, which resized itself a few times... gahhhhhhhh. anyway long story short, i turned the heating on and put it upside down in a closed room and when i switched it back on late this evening, it seems to be okay... fingers crossed! my laptop is olllllld and dying but let's be honest here, who ever wants to fork out for a new one?!
so there was that... thennnn when i was about 50m from home from picking madeline up from school, i ran over something (turns out it was a sharp as piece of bone. what the actual heck!) that dug into my tyre and flattened it. flat. about 30 secs after i pulled into the garage, it was fully deflated.
but. i got to put my skills to use. dad insisted i learn how to change a tyre when i was a teenager - and change a tyre i did. jacked up the car, got it off, got the new one on, drove to the tyre place and got a new tyre. wow. what a day. the kids thought it was great. i wasn't as impressed...
here's hoping tomorrow is better.
but. i can offically say that i can change a tyre! thank you dad! ♥
