It was a busy day.

Beginning with a call at around eleven in the morning - my car was ready. But... They noticed that a driver-side brake caliper was 'stuck'. My POS Kia Soul was going to be a bitch to the very end.

That meant I had to bring it to my mechanic right after I picked it up. And, I had cardiac rehab at 2pm - that meant I had a scheduling problem. 

I decided to slightly reduce my rehab time, to meet my mechanic's best late-afternoon time. Still got a great workout

I dropped off the rental at the collision shop, picked up my... car (I desperately want to drop negative adjectives in front of every mention of my... car) and got to the mechanic's exactly when I wanted to.

And, some good luck! A little adjustment, and my brakes were declared "nothing wrong". I was so sure I was going to drop some hundreds into the car the day before I got rid of it, but no!

When I got home I found a new microwave popcorn maker had been delivered. I burned the first batch, which I will smell forever, before getting it right. I'll need to experiment more. 

Then, before I knew it, it was time for the first of two of the night's open mics, both of which disappointed, resulting in an unusually early night, given that I did get to play at both. Quality, not quantity, is what's important.

I got a phone call from a friend, told him about my plans vis-a-vis my car, and he suggested I look into leasing - which would be a new experience for me. So I spent the rest of the night looking at those options, and decided that's what I would do.

I'm grateful for solutions to even small problems.

Better. I'm hoping for more regression to the mean and weight below 200 tomorrow. That's my hope.
