mocking sun

the sun came out. to shine it's brilliance on life. to show how things march on despite sick grandmothers. to show that happiness does exist (even if it's not my own). to mock me as I'm chained to my desk. to show me just how dead flat my tire was.

yes, really. I can't catch a break. this time I have to replace all 5 tires. it can't be repaired and it's discontinued. and with AWD, I can't buy one different tire. the worst part is, the ones I have had quite a bit of life left in them yet.

well, at least I know my grandma has a lot of life left in her. she was ornery to the ER staff when her friend took her over the other night. but she's feeling a little better now that she's home.

a week ago my mom said she was too tired to be ornery. so ornery is an improvement. and that brings a little happiness with it despite the rest.

All five tires? Unbelievable! RG you just can't get a break!
Great news that your Grandmother has improved.

now I know why I don't want AWD. I'm sorry about the tire(s). But so glad to hear about your grandmother! That IS a bit of sunshine!

Oh man I just had to do that not too long ago. It stinks. Damn AWD trucks!
