Tire Fairy.

My grandfather inflated my tire yesterday. I went in today and the tire was still inflated and at the same PSI (Pounds per Square Inch) as when he filled it. Odd. I joked about a tire fairy coming up late at night while everyone was asleep and patching my tire. We put it on and did a few errands to test it, it was fine. But, there's a bulge in my tire which my grandfather was worried about. So, while examining it, and deflating the tire a little because he over-inflated it, I heard a bubbling noise. I looked, soapy water was still on my tire from him checking it and it was bubbling over. Yes, there's still a leak. Apparently from the over-inflation, it sealed the leak temporarily. I don't know. I have to get a new tire and a new oil sender either tomorrow or Monday. I'm not sure if anything's open on Sundays.

I've got to compare prices for a train ride and Greyhound to figure out how exactly I am getting the hell out of here. I've given up on my car. I don't feel safe in taking it across country. B told me to take a train to a city near him and let him pick me up. I like the idea but, I don't want to burden him. It'd be really nice, though. I'm still juggling that idea.

We'll see what the prices are before I make a final decision. Plus, I get motion sickness so I'm not sure I want to spend as long as I will on a Greyhound. It'd be nice if I had a credit card and could get a rental. You can't believe how tight rentals are. You have to be over 18, that's fine. You have to have a credit card which, I'm not sane with credit cards. LOL. And, the person the credit card is under is the only allowed driver, so I can't get someone else to pay for it and let me take it.

I *Need* out of this state, no matter what it takes.
