I left work just after 5 p.m. and was all set for a nice, relaxing, butt-on-the-couch, diary-browsing, Sim-marathon, DVD-watching night in.

Six hours, a hissing tire, a cursed non-standard wheel, a Sears run and two AAA tow trucks later, I'm about to turn in only to get up in a little over seven hours.Tomorrow, I promise a more in-depth explanation once I get through my morning web surfing plus two days' worth of journal reading.

And I may have to squeeze some work in.
