in regards to the check engine light, my mother said,

"You know, your sister had the same problem, and it was just a loose gas cap"

and I said, "I haven't touched my gas cap in a week. Plus it happened when I was halfway through my commute."

but, why did I not check? I thought I checked... but I did not.

because that is what it was... stupid loose gas cap.

stupid: Listen to your mother, it cost you $45.00 by not doing so.

blessed: It was only $45.00, so essentially two days of per diem and a sister that let me borrow her car while she was out of town, and it was not the $300.00+ I for which I was preparing.

dilemna: I have to go back to Midland tonight or tomorrow morning, and anna needs a ride from the airport... at one in the afternoon.

I would rather have these types of problems, than the bigger, heart heavy and wearisome problems any day.

... ... ...

Good decisions come from experience...
Unfortunately, experience comes from bad decisions...

so learn from other people's mistakes, because there is no way you will be able to make them all in your lifetime...

so yeah, I will be home for the next two weeks... this week because of my car being on the blink, and next week, because there is an actual work reason.

the problem with this is that I have left most of my work clothes up in midland...

and my charger for my electric toothbrush...

and my vouchers for free pizza...

... ... ...

this means two things... I will have to either buy clothes, or I will have to eat 3-4 hours to get everything from my apartment...

money is tight, but time is such a valuable commodity.

so I am faced with a dilemna because

1. I do not have a car.
2. I do not have the time during the week
3. Lorie will be in town this weekend

... ... ...

so the best solution will probably be for me to get two or three slacks or khakis, and four shirts and I should be able to hold down the two weeks with no problem.

which will mean I will have to use a regular toothbrush to adhere to my dental responsibilities the moment my electric one dies...

on top of that, there is the unknown, but presumably large, sum for the correction of the cause of the illumination of the check engine light on my suv...

... ... ...

alas, the horror that is my life...

faced with the deep, life-altering issues of no clothes, no car, and no electric toothbrush...

oh, and no free pizza...

:-P
