yeah we have that same Papa John's deal for the Cardinals here, and they always win, so we're always getting discounts.
Sorry to hear about your car. I like your cat's name though.
Mmmm ... pizza

So because the Cowboys won and scored over 20 points, I got a half-off pizza from Papa John's.
I needed it after the day I've had, where both professors I have talked to and myself had trouble figuring out how to get SPSS to do what I need it to do and then the third prof who is actually over this class (the other two are stats guys, which is why I ask them for SPSS help - it's a statistics analysis program, kinda like Excel on steroids) suggested something so simple it might just work and make us all feel kinda dumb (or at least myself, since, y'know I have first-hand knowledge of what's going on whereas the stats profs get a quick explanation of what I want to do).
And then right as I finally got home after work to take Catara to the vet for a wellness check and managed to get her in the damn car, my car wouldn't start. I tried to get a jump and the girl who helped me said my starter wasn't turning. I called the guys who fixed it last Thursday (timing belt was worn, so they replaced it w a kit including timing belt, shaft belt, and water pump to my knowledge) and they said they'd send someone to come try and start it for me in 30 mins ... or so I heard. After an hour went by, I called again and they said they were waiting for me to call them back in about 30 mins after the initial call to figure out exactly where I live (which is kinda hidden-ish granted, but is less than a mile down the street from them. COME ON! How have you not heard of an apt. complex that close to your car-fixing business? It's not exactly a new complex either). Pretty much they came over to tell me it was DEFINITELY that I needed a new starter. Asked how much it would cost and they said $300-$400, maybe cheaper depending on cost of the part. So add that on to the $712 for the kit last Thursday. Shoulda said something when my car was starting funny after getting it back.
Anyway, some good news was getting Catara's wellness check taken care of by rescheduling the appointment for later and getting a ride. Then I hit the gym after actually walking to it for the first time in forever. Apparently, I only walk about 7,000 steps to cover about a mile and a half, according to my pedometer. Huh. I thought the trek there and back was about 3 miles and gave me close to my 15,000 step goal. Maybe it's cause I wasn't wearing the pedometer before later, but I doubt my office job cardio did much at all.
I should have known that 55-14 Packers win over the Bears that had me smiling from ear-to-ear last night after an unusually productive weekend (got my paper for Wednesday and my editorial done way early) had to lead to some proverbial storm clouds at some point (still no storm clouds here in East Texas by the way, just randomly gets cold at night with still-clear skies.) But hey, I got a lot done and got half-off pizza, so that's something. Not gonna let it get me down, especially since I still have money for the car even after paying my credit card. Need to look at loans again, but for now I'll be alright.
Yin and yang, man.
