Three Nails

Meg and I weren't exactly balls of fire today, but I attempted mega-laundry while she rested her back.  Along about 12:30 this afternoon, I figured I'd better begin to think about what to do about the flat tire.  I called Good Neighbor Fred across the street to see if he has an air compressor.  As it happens, he does.  He inflated my left rear tire so I could limp to Goodyear (close to home), with Meg behind me.  Guess what?  Goodyear is no longer open on Saturdays!  On to Walmart.  I waited in line for the attendant to get to me, telling her about the nail in the tire.  While she was standing there taking my information, she pointed out TWO nails in the left front tire.  Huh??  Okay...so rather than patching two tires, I decided to buy new ones and have them put on the front.  (Probably due, anyway.)  Of course, there was the issue that Walmart didn't have any more of their cheaper tires, so I had to buy the $80 ones.  It's only money!  As for where the nails came from, I can only suspect a construction site on our school's campus.  I left an email for the Superintendent, just in case...

Word from Muncie is that Robin hasn't been throwing up anymore but has the "runs".  My poor Beanie!

As Meg was heading for bed tonight, she discovered a huge wet spot on her bed.  Hmmm...the door was open today.  (She never leaves it open!)  We suspect the dog urinated on it.  A change of sheets and bed pad later, she is finally in bed.  And, by the way, anyone who says that dogs will not soil their bedding places or food places is full of bull-loney!  Frodo the Wonder Dog used to have a nice bed, but she kept pooping on it, so it went to the trash.  And now, the bed that she used to sleep on all the time was a target.  Meg thinks the dog was getting even for the closed door.  Could be!

And now, in the late hours of the evening, I am thinking over the day and the days to come.  It isn't lost to me that three nails played a part in my day, with tomorrow (today now) being Easter.  It was three nails that changed the world over 2,000 years ago.  May the risen Christ bring you spiritual rebirth and hope forever!
