I'm sitting in my office at work on pins and needles. This morning I will teach an ancient art class at the university where I normally work (I'm holding office hours for my ancient art students right now), and this afternoon I will be teaching a Renaissance course at a university located a few hours away, nestled in the mountains. (Yes, I have a full-time job teaching at the university near my house, but due to a series of events I wound up teaching this other class at another school.)
Anyhow, I sure hope that I make it to this new school tonight - which is why I am on pins and needles. I woke up extra early this morning and made sure I prepared everything before I left. But as I drove to my local school, I noticed a warning light turn on for my tire pressure. And upon arriving at my local university to teach this morning's class, I noticed that one tire was really low. Not flat, but low. I'm not sure if the tire has a slow leak or if something punctured the tire. [Deep sigh.] I also have no idea what the tire condition will be after I emerge from my ancient art class at noon. Completely flat? Driveable? Hopefully I'll be able to drive far enough to a gas station (to put in some air), and then rush home and exchange cars so that I can be at the far-away university before my class begins this afternoon.
What an ironic twist of fate - especially since today is the first day of class for my Renaissance students. Everything depends on that silly tire.

Mobile mechanic in Seattle!!! He comes to your car!! (Also I love you and I miss you!)
oh no! hope all goes well!
Aw, Ant Bee! Thanks for the link. It was kind of you to look that up.
LUCKILY, I ended up being okay. (But if I'm ever in a bind, I'm going to look for Dave the Mobile Mechanic!) After my morning class, I discovered that the tire was still quite low, but driveable. In the end, I was able to make it to the far-away university, in plenty of time to shout about Michelangelo for a few hours. Phew.
