Worshipped at the church of Firestone today--nearly all day! Decided I needed new tires--and a number of related elements (brakes and rotors, 100K service needs, and so forth). Result--I had to tithe the COF a substantial amount. Not as much as it would cost for a new vehicle--but it's getting there. My tires looked to be unevenly worn--and I wasn't feeling safe driving as much as I am now to get to dance classes. So, I bit the bullet--or the bill. It won't break the bank--but I'll have to think twice when the next big repair job emerges. The tough part of today--hanging out at the COF waiting for the repairs to be done.

I ate lunch at the India Oven--then went to SBs for a GT latte. Then went back (in the rain--yes, it's been raining) to the COF--watched the last 3 quarters of the 49er game (SF won by a point). I didn't get a nap or such during the whole day--I was getting weary as the clock counted down to the end of the game (and the completion of repairs).

When I left the COF, I went across the street to Panera's--and grabbed a sandwich (0.5 of which I gulped down on the spot). There was a magnificent cloud/sunset painting in the western sky--which I failed to grab with my phone's camera(s).

Glad to be back in my little cave--and being warmed by the AC. I was feeling cold and achy all day--as I walked from place to place in the damp, cool weather. It felt good to walk--and I was wrapped up with gloves, a scarf, and a thermal vest.

It's not that late--but I'm feeling tired and ready to get horizontal. I have to R&R from today's excursion--seems like it's the law of the land.
