The universe can stop fucking with my car now.
The flat I mentioned was acquired on the way to work on Tuesday. I was near my office when I heard this terrible noise and could feel that something was up with the tire. I pulled into the Stop and Shop on Main Street (Stoneham) and took a look to find a huge bolt sticking out (think, something similar to a railway iron) and I could hear the air coming out. I pulled back onto Main street and headed in the direction of 95 to the Midas that I was pretty sure was there. The thing was so long it was hitting the body of my car while I was driving as the tire rotated (!) until it fell out. Needless to say the hole was too large to repair and I had to get a new tire. They didn't have one in stock so the car had to sit there for a few hours until someone from another shop could bring it over (the nice metalhead mechanic was kind enough to drive me to work and seemed very happy that I recognized the CDs all over the floor of his messy truck). A coworker took me to pick it up during lunch.
A rock came up to hit my windshield today, causing a crack from the right corner that's snaking its way across to the left. Its covered by insurance and all, but what the hell? Its too late to call Giant Glass today so I'll park inside of the garage and out of the rain tomorrow and give them a call and hope that they can come by to fix it (that, or on Saturday morning).
The world needs to start being nice to poor Hedwig or else hir inch is going to get very, very angry!
