This is a lot smaller than the other brags I've had, but it's definitely something to feel good about.

I've been looking forward to November for a while now, since the Black Friday deals make it an opportune time to once again binge on buying brightly colored horses. However, real life decided to throw a curveball at me, a curveball that hit me square in the groin.
In the middle of last month, my car started getting these annoying vibrations at idle (worn motor mounts) and at speed (bent wheel). After getting the wheel fixed, I went to have the front end aligned as the guy who repaired my wheel recommended. I go over to a shop near work the next to have them find the passenger side ball joint is worn and needs to be replaced, and that one of my tires was close to worn out. To top it all off, that was also in the week that I rear ended a truck. Fortunately, his truck was undamaged and I didn't get a ticket.
Needless to say, over the past month I've had to spend a lot of time and money trying to fix it all, so the huge haul I was hoping for wasn't really going to happen. But this week, I've just gotten in the last parts I need (with the exception of one bolt), so now I can finally start spending money on things I want rather than things I need. If I can finish up the repairs myself (the repairs for the things that aren't my fault, at least), I can say I've earned the right to treat myself.
