I am sore today. I must have been holding my body tight yesterday with all the stress. Even my jaw is sore! Sheesh. I am glad I have today off to recuperate a bit. I just got back from the gym. Not the big gym, but the little one up the hill there. It felt good to exercise, stretch, and get my cardio on. Heh. Who knew my body could hold so much tension?

Today is a bit of a wasted day off. Well, not totally, I did chores and stuff. Wasted as in I do not have my car, so no enjoying a drive with the top down. I always feel that way on a nice day, even if it’s just a trip to the grocery. My car had a weird light go on last week, you see. I actually did not recognize it when it lit up. It looked like a pregnant woman warning or something… I actually had to open the glove compartment and retrieve the Owner’s Manual. After a bit of fumbling with the multiple sections of the manual (there is a section on everything!) I finally found the proper diagram of the dash that included the various warning lights. Turns out it is the airbag light! Wow! And to think I had already driven around with it for a whole day. As I read further, I learned that in my case it could also be a ROLL BAR MALFUNCTION! Great, so my car potentially has no safety features. At the very least crippled, half assed safety features. Peaches puh-leeze!! It just shouldn’t start if it becomes a death-trap on wheels. So I call to get an appointment. I explain the malfunction light that is lit. “Okay, I can get you in next Tuesday…”, she says. Next Tuesday?? I of course inquired as to the urgency, but there were excuses. Okay. Well I survived the week in the death-trap. Sometime today I should find out the ‘real problem’. Should I be upset if it was the driver side airbag? Seems like that is serious, yanno?
