Rejection...

Well, I procrastinated again until it created a problem. The last day of the month that I needed my car inspection and I got a rejection sticker. It needs new ball joint on the right front ($550) and possibly a new starter ($300) and they could get to it tomorrow but I have to work. The paper finally came in for that job that has been dragging on all week. And because of the holiday they won't be open again until Tuesday. So after seeing that my tire is sitting on a slight slant, I will be driving real carefully till Tuesday.

I am just glad that they force us to have these inspections every year, even though they are a pain in the ass, or I would have left on my trip to South Carolina oblivious to the danger.

This was another boring day with nothing in particular to do except the inspection. Went to Car Connection, Used Book Store, Target and Trader Joe's. Do we see a pattern here??????? I need to stay busy so that I can stop shopping.

The book store was a disappointment and angered me. They would not accept most of the tapes that I took in because the boxes didn't meet their standards. They were worn....... some of them are 10 years old and I bought them in the same condition. Picky-picky!!!!!!! So I will be driving to Manassas to go to the other store over the weekend.

Came home and took a nap which lasted about 2 hours and I didn't feel very good when I got up. Too much sleep?????

Well, the weather is finally turning. We had no rain in August that I can remember and it was ungodly hot. Today it has been cool (70's) and has looked like it will rain any minute. Hurricane Ernesto is heading our way, bringing heavy rains for tomorrow and Saturday. A welcome relief but hope it doesn't end up on the basement floor again. Will have the wet-dry vac at the ready.
