I just read this in [livejournal.com profile] ciddyguy's journal and I so totally agree. I got everything done I wanted to do while I was out and had nearly magical good luck so I decided to come home while karma was still in a good mood.

My swim class was great. The literally bounded up the steps I had to rest to finish last week. When I got to the top, I was not even winded and, honestly, I don't remember not being winded there before. Wild. What a great feeling. I did manage to get out of the snowy parking lot without a lot of trouble. Then on to breakfast which was delicious.

Then on to stuffing. I can get the stuffing I need for the bears at a Michaels or a JoAnns and sometimes at the outlet store very near here. Usually I just bite the bullet and drive the 15 miles down south where there is both a Michaels and a JoAnns just to be safe. Not long ago I discovered there is a JoAnns fairly near where I have been eating breakfast on Saturdays. I found it (or rather the GPS on the phone did) and they had the stuffing I like and it was... half off!!!! Seriously. $25 for $50 worth of bear guts!! That buys me about 9 months worth. Nice. I would have actually bought more but the Smart Car would have had to be rejiggered to get it all in so I just declared victory with what I had.

I stopped at the grocery store for cat food and then faced the tire pressure issue. The light was still on. The book says if it s NOT blinking, it's probably just a pressure issue in one or more of the tires. It was not blinking.

I stopped into a Goodyear place and the lady was oh so nice when I explained my problem. She turned me over to a guy with a measurer and air and he found the pressure off in 3 of the tires and fixed it and as soon as I turned the motor on, the warning light was gone.

I tried to pay and they wouldn't take my money. I'd have given them the $25 that JoAnn saved me, I was so thrilled to be fixed.

The tire guy told me I was the second Smart Car he'd seen today. He said some guy came in with one that he'd put tires that were too big on and it had bent the frame!! wild.

Now I plan to get back to work on the router stuff. I want to lock it down and set up a monitor for checking the new IP's connectivity. And maybe even move it physically for better cable distribution. Although I may wait on that last part until I get it set up correctly and it runs a while. I don't want to mix in too many variables since I'm not at all sure what I'm doing.
