Car Issues

Yes, I know! I'm late on the post. Blame my car. I was driving to the ferry yesterday when my TPMS light came on (tire pressure monitoring system). I checked my tires pressure and they were all where they should be. This used to happen with my Hyundai but with that car it was connected with the Bluetooth. Interestingly, as I was driving, I got a text and when I listened through the car, it was breaking up and I thought, Maybe this is similar to what used to happen with my Sante Fe. So when I got to the ferry I looked it up and it said that Subaru's TPMS is NOT connected to the Bluetooth. I then called Jim who called Subaru and they told him it was that the valve battery was failing. He made an appointment for me and here we are. If it is that, I'll have to pay out about $700. Oh well...what're you going to do. Oh, and my radio is also glitching so they're going to check on that. Most likely my radio is going and they'll have to order me a new one. Thankfully that i s covered by warranty. 

Anyway, yesterday, I caught the 7:30 ferry and was home before noon (11:23 to be exact). After unpacking and giving the dogs 3 days worth of hugs and kisses, I got on the elliptical, walked Scout, and then watched TV. Jim got home around 5:00 and we had some hamburgers for dinner. I was exhausted and went up to bed around 8:00. 

BTW - I'm sitting here at Subaru typing this and a brand spanking new Outback is sitting in the showroom and it's gorgeous! It's a lot bigger than mine and I want it. However, that's not going to happen anytime soon. I plan on driving my Outback into the ground. I mean, it doesn't even have 90k miles yet and I should be able to get at least 200,000 out of it. We'll see...knock on wood. 

Plans for today: After I finish here (posting) I'll do some school work. Schedules might be ready so I'll check on that. Once I get home, it'll probably be around 11:00 so I'll swim, lunch and then lay in the sun. It's a beautiful day! Dinner tonight will be cheesy Italian sausage tortellini bake. Something easy (dump and go). 

And that's about all I've got. I only have about 51% battery on my computer and I can't find an outlet anywhere in this customer waiting area so I'd better get cracking on my school work. Happy Thursday! Later!
