mmm, needly

I have to say, I don't *mind* needles, but I don't love them. I got a flu shot today because I don't want to get sick while pregnant. Because I can't take anything for it. You understand. Anyway, it hurt! My arm is sore. Sucky. It was free, which is a small consolation. We were supposed to get them at school on Friday, but the nurse got lost and went to the wrong school and then just went home. Bitch. I wasn't sure when we might get rescheduled for, and I wanted to get the shot before I got the flu, so I made myself an appointment. Just so happens I had an appointment today anyway, so it worked out. Also happens that the nurse was going to try to find her way to our school again today, but I didn't feel the need to take a chance on her again.

I also had my car to the doctor today. It needed its winter tires on. My tires were very sad / unsafe. We had a little storm yesterday and I had to drive about 40 the whole way to work, which combined with my having to drop the boy off to make my normally 20 minute drive an hour long. Sweet. I did make it all the way without incident though, no slippy slidies at all. As soon as I came out of our lane though, somebody else had nosedived off the road, so that gave me a pretty good idea of what kind of road conditions I'd be dealing with. My car also needed a new headlight. Sadly not just the $8 bulb, no. The whole assembly. That thing cost me like $300. Isn't that absurd? Even the guy at Dodge was surprised. He joked that now one looked so much nicer that I'd need to replace the other one. I said that unless they were offering a buy one get one deal, that wasn't going to happen. I also checked, just for shits and giggles, how much new bumper covers would be. From them, about $1000. That might not even cover the paint job. Stupid, right? So that's not going to happen, clearly. Who needs pretty bumpers? Not me. There was a rattle in the front too, which I asked them to check out, but it's gone now. GONE. I guess something wasn't aligned properly with my other tires, and it's all fixed now, and there's no sound, so ... hooray, I guess.

Had a dr. appt today, as mentioned. There is still a baby in there, and its heart is beating about 157 beats per minute. That's pretty fast. Good for fetuses though.

I think that's it. Had pizza for supper, lunch, and supper again yesterday. All pizza'd out for now. The man said he's pretty sure he couldn't get pizza'd out for more than a day.

Have to go watch Private Practice. Lovin it. More than Grey's. And about time tehy showed Taye Diggs with no shirt. Nice that everyone who was supposed to rock on didn't, and the two who really shouldn't have did. Also lovin that Chuck and Pushing Daisies and Life are all still around. You should be watching them.
