Right Jab, Left Hook

Yesterday, I finally took my car to the shop. I couldn't take it anymore. My car's tires were bald, misshapen, and out of alignment. The vibration was enough to liquefy internal organs. Since I've sold most of mine over the last few years, I can't really spare the ones I have left.

Four tires and an alignment later, the car rides much smoother, but it knocked a crap load of money out of our checking account.

This morning I nearly stroked out when I opened our credit card bill. And, it didn't include the range we charged to it last weekend. Ouch.

If my wife hadn't gotten a job a couple months ago, we'd have been down for the count. As it is, I'm wondering if I'll need a second job pretty soon.
