We took LaLa to the eye vet for a check up. Her eyes are coming along great. Her left one still has some scare tissue, but is looking good. Keep up the meds and return in two months. Yeah !!!!!! That was the end of the good news for this day...................
Upon walking out of the vet's office we discovered that the right front tire of the van was FLAT!!! I mean off the rim flat. We rummaged through the book to find out exactly where the tire was hidden. It was in a compartment between the front and back seats under the floor. After getting it out John jacked up the van and changed tires. When he put the van back down, guess what the spare tire was FLAT too. Lucky for us there was a 7-11 store across the street so John took the spare over and inflated it. Once we got home John decided to repair the puncture (screw) and return the tire to the van and put the spare away. We knew we needed new tires for around two months so John decided to go to BJ's Wholesale and buy a new set. He got the tires ordered for delivery the next day and started to leave to come home. When pulling out of the parking lot the truck in front of him, also making a right turn onto Hwy. 46, decided to stop (even though the traffic was clear to go). Of course John glanced left again to be sure it was OK to go and hit the gas. Only he didn't see that the truck in front of him had stopped (still don't know why) and BAM he rear-ended the truck. Of course the lady driving the truck called the police since there was damage to her bumper. John got a ticket for Careless Driving. She agreed to let John take care of the damage without calling our insurance companies. Good thing cause he had just rear-ended another vehicle 3 weeks earlier which went through our insurance. YUK That day turned out to be quite expensive, what with the vet bill, traffic ticket, Defensive Driving School, new tires and $1,300.00 in repairs.....hope all of our bad luck in finished for a long time.
