Today I enjoyed the luxury of being able to sleep in as late as I like.
When I finally deigned to get up and dressed, I headed out to get my car inspected.
I seriously thought that I was going to need to replace my windshield wipers in order to pass inspection. In fact, I was planning on buying new ones before getting inspected.
But instead I stopped at the first place I saw that had the state inspection.
I told the mechanic that I needed my oil changed, my car inspected and most likely new windshield wiper blades.
Roughly 40 minutes later, my car passed inspection and my oil was changed. But I still had the same wipers! The mechanic told me that they were still fine and didn't need to be changed.
I was very happy about that of course - but more so happy that he didn't just say that I needed new ones to make the extra sale.

This weekend I really need to finish up my defensive driving course. I've one hour completed and 5 more to go. I'd been planning on doing them during my lunch breaks, but then kept getting pulled up front to give the receptionist her lunch break. So . . just need to go ahead and get 'r dun this weekend.
I think when I get the 10% discount back, I'll put it in my extra monies accounting as a rebate - since I've already paid my 6 month premium without the discount.

I got another ING referral bonus today. Now I need to do some legwork (i.e. typing) so I can send out more referrals.
