Twists 'n Turns

One of the twists and turns of every day life are the little things that happen in a day. Today was one of those days where it was busy, stressful and chaotic at work. It was the last day to pick up layaway orders in my BigBox Store, and it was a madhouse the entire day. Orders couldn't be found, and people were stressing over it. *big breath* ok folks, no big deal, lets just take care of the customers! Yeah. I couldn't wait to get out of there!!

When I finally left, after an hour's overtime even, I was in my car, it was silent -- and the peace of no one speaking was terrific! An added bonus: it was sunny and 70 degrees. Definitely cheered me up --- until on the way home, I picked something up in my tire. I thought (or assumed) it was just a large rock stuck in the tread, but nope. It was something firmly lodged up in there. Now, I've known for a while I would need new tires; I've had my car 2 years, and put a few miles on it. I was hoping to make it for a little while longer. Lucky for me, I drove back to a different BigBox store location, and was able to get right in, and just as I predicted, they didn't want to repair it. So, after some looking around, he had two tires left that were part of the big Thanksgiving sale. 2 new tires, $160 all installed and ready to zip down the road :) Of course, the down side: I ended up back at the BigBox place for an extra hour on a day when I truly didn't want to be part of the crowds!!!!!
Some days, you just never know :)

HUGS to everyone!
