Tuesday.

So today was a pretty uneventful day, but it was a good one. Last night I spent about an hour on Google Maps, planning out how much I drive every month on average. I primarily drive from my place in Whitmore Lake to Howell, MI. That trip is around 18.5 Miles. Which I rounded up to 20 miles. So round Trip each day, 40 miles, give or take. Then I drive 4 times a month to Church in Brighton. That's 10.3 miles according to Google, so I rounded that up to 15, just to be safe. I drive to church four times a month so that's a total of 120 miles per month. Then I drive to Tara's about two times a week, and that's 24.2 miles according to Google. So not to bore you with my math, I drive on Average 1600 miles a month. Yes, 1600 miles a month. Which, it's bad considering I have a friend who drives 120 miles round trip to work each day. So, it gets worse. It's bad enough I drive that much each month, but it's even worse to have a car that gets 16 miles a gallon Highway. Yes, my lovely Isuzu Trooper. So yes, I spend over $350 a month on gas. I also have a 1984 Buick Century that's my dad's that he's let me use so I don't have to get 16 mpg. His gets around 24 mpg, so that's better than 16. So really, between the two I spent a little over $300 a month on gas. With all that said, on some tuesdays I've decided to work from home. So today, that's exactly what I did. I got up at 8am went straight to the kitchen to get a yogurt. It was kind with fruit on the bottow and it was strawberry. It was pretty good but I like food with some texture. I would have loved to put some granola in it or something, but I don't have any. Anywho, I started right on the epistle, which is our StuCo weekly newsletter. I got that all worked out at around 11, yeah, it really does take along time, consider I had to make a couple of designs for it. So after that I added some names to the email list from my address book, we're up to around 120 subscribers now. I hope the people don't mind. It's all the people who have children in StuCo and who are involved in StuCo so I doubt they'll mind getting the email. I got a call from Darian (my super duper amazing roomate who is the coolest guy ever! EVER!) So after that I went and cooked some food. I made some brats and some peas and green beans. It was pretty good. After that I wrote an email to all the student artists informing them of some things. We do all of our scheduling and contacts through email and access to the service flow sheets and music online. So it's very frustrating when the students don't check their email for two weeks. Also, there's been an issue that has been brought up to me and Students not coming to practice and being able to play on Sunday. So I put in effect the "NO PRACTICE, NO PLAY" rule. I've already gotten a phone call and a text about it. Either way, I'm going to make someone unhappy, at least this time it's fair. Then after that, I went to go teach at the Gibsons. They have 2 sons and one Daughter. Ricky, one of the sons is playing in StuCo this week. We're doing a cover song by fly leaf called Fully Alive, it's going to be sweet. They ordered pizza and we all ate and talked about life and Financial Peace, which Tara and I are in every Monday. Kendall, the Mom is one of the FPU facilitators for one of the classes. I've been trying to fix a check engine light in my Trooper. About six months ago the CEL went on so I took it to auto zone and it was throwing a P1392 Code, which is the G Sensor code, low voltage. So I went on ebay and bought a new Sensor. The G sensor is located in the center console right next to the parking brake hook up. In order to get to that, you have to take the passanger seat out, and both center consoles. That's what I did Sunday afternoon when Tara was working on her lessons for the next week. The code went off for about a week, then came right back on. So I kind of gave up on it. After teaching I went to Autozone again and had them read the code, sure enough, same code. I think I'm going to go someplace to have it actually diagnosed. We'll see. The car runs fine and it gets the same MPG, so I don't know if it's worth my time and money. I just hate seeing CHECK ENGINE blaring at me in the face. We'll see. So here I am, at Cell group. It starts at 7 but I got here at around 6:40, I didn't want to go home. Okay, I'm going to get some Apples. We have snacks here!
