(no subject)

I actually didn't listen to the debate last night.  Kip got a flat tire Tuesday and I had to go pick him up right before the Candidates Forum the League of Women Voters was sponsoring--I wasn't late to the Forum, but I did show up in my shorts instead of the nice clothes I'd been intending to wear.  So yesterday after Kip was done with work, we drove out to the parking lot where he'd left his crippled car, and Kip jacked it up, took off the flat, put the donut on, and we took the flat (in my car) to the nearest tire place.  They were closed by then.  Grumpy (well, I was grumpy; Kip doesn't get grumpy, much) and tired, we went shopping, bought comfort food, and went home.  I didn't realize until about 9:30 that it was debate night, and by then I was in bed, because I was going to have to drive Kip to work at 7:30am.  I thought briefly about getting up and listening, but decided if I did that it would take me hours to calm down enough to go to sleep.  So I deliberately left the debate unlistened-to.

I think it came out okay anyway; at least that's what most people seem to think.  So that's good then.

*Plus* today I called around to 3 local tire places, figured out the best deal, took my bike pump out to Kip's car, pumped the donut to its regulation pressure, let the car off the jack, and drove it to the tire place.  I got the new tires put on, then drove around looking at houses, then got the alignment done, and took the car over to Carson-Newman for Kip.  Go me!
