psghayleauxT. gave me one of my Christmas presents early yesterday. It's an interactive tribble. It is wonderfully and cute and I need to name it. And possibly take it to work to stave off boredom at work. It was good timing to get it actually yesterday. Otherwise yesterday sucked.
I was diving to mom's in the morning during the mini snowstorm and the person a head of me wasn't paying attention to traffic. And because she was in a SUV and I was in Jazz I couldn't see around her. Out of the blue she slammed on her brakes and swerved for the shoulder, allowing me to see the car stopped in the road turning. So I hit my brakes and, as I didn't have my snow tires on yet and was going to pick them up, my brakes locked up because I lost traction and I ran into the back of the SUV. Fortunately my car wasn't going very fast and there was no damage to either car but it was unsettling. I much more used to ending up in ditches by myself not nearly taking someone else out.
So I got my snow tires did laundry and made it safely back to Farmington and went to work where I had my snow tires put on. Turns out Jazz needs an alignment as three out of four tires on the car were bald on the inside, which probably contributed to the nearly bad accident. So now I have 4 months to try and save up the money for new tires and should really get an alignment as soon as I have the money. So really the tribble saved the day.
