Monday morning I watched some more LOST. Then around 10am I decided I'd get up, get out, and get some groceries. I went to Meijer, but as I was getting off the expressway, the ramp was littered with potholes. It was like a war zone. I managed to dodge most of them...and hit one in what I thought was the lesser of two evils. But it turned out to be bad enough. I made it to Meijer and the tire wasn't completely flat yet, so I was hoping it was ok. I got what I needed from Meijer in about 10 minutes, came back and the tire was definitely flat. I called Mark. I called Suburu Roadside... I talked to this woman, Amy, told her where I was, what section of the parking lot, what end of the store. They said that help would arrive in 40 minutes. I talked to Mark & my Grandmother in that time. 40 minutes later the tow truck driver called to ask if I was in the parking lot or across the road. I told him I was in the parking lot, near the pharmacy. This seemed to confuse him. It turned out they'd sent him to my home instead of where I actually was. He was local and knew where I was and said he'd be there in 30 minutes. Sometimes...when things are bad I get stressed. Then things get worse and I get angry...or start to laugh at the comical badness of it all. Well, first I was angry...and then I was in a good mood. And the sun came out. And the guy arrived just as he said he would and got everything fixed in about 5 minutes. And I was on my way.

I went to Kroger for more groceries, though I felt rushed now that I'd been so put off for time. Also, I was extremely hungry. I kind of rushed through the store. I was worried that I'd make Mark late for work. I went to Little Caesars thinking of pizza, but then decided I didn't want to wait for anything else that day, got crazy bread, and went next door and got some wine. I ate the crazy bread as I drove home.

I got home, got the groceries in, and gave the rest of the crazy bread to Mark. I ate and chilled. Happy to be home. I wandered through wikipedia. Then watched some stuff on youtube. Mark wanted me to go with him to work so I could take the car in to be fixed. But I'd not taken my eating pills, as I knew I was going to be home and so I wasn't prepared to go anywhere without it going badly. Also, I was very tired.

Mark went on his way, and I ended up watching about 7 episodes of The Facts of Life on YouTube. It's amazing how many of those I remembered from when I was little - and I could remember just how I reacted at the time. It was amusing.

I finally fell asleep around 6pm. I figured I'd wake up around 10 or 11 as I've been sleeping 4 or 5 hours at a time lately. I thought I might go to Necto. Only when I woke up it was nearly 3:30am. I couldn't believe it! At first I was disappointed that I didn't get to go to the club, but realized that I was so well rested that I didn't care.

I got up, and found some mail Mark had left at my door. Mark said hello to me, as he was getting ready for bed. I ate and read the mail. Then I wrote this, as I listend to more soundtrack music.
