Fixed It


On top of all the shit going on right now, I got pulled over by the police yesterday.  It seems BOTH my brake lights were out!  I had no idea because how can I see if my brake lights are working?  I was so worried because the last thing I need is to pay for a ticket.  The officer was actually very nice to me and he did give me a ticket but it is called a fix it ticket.  That means I need to fix the problem then go to the station to show that it was all set and I would not have to pay anything.  I know it is just changing a bulb but I do not know anything about car things so I went online.  I watched a video on how to change the bulb, see the internet is useful for more than just watching cat videos.  Then using the internet I found out what kind of bulbs to get and I bought them last night - only $6.47 for the two (including tax).  This morning I heard the landlord out in the yard.  After I watched the video I knew changing the bulbs would not be hard as long as I had the right screwdriver.  I was not sure if I had it but I know my landlord would so I went out and asked him and of course he did!  A power one too!  So lickety split I changed the bulbs and he confirmed for me that that were working.  Now I just have to show the police and I am all good!  I feel so good and accomplished today :)  See I had a problem - I was worried and nervous and yet I figured it out and got it fix plus have no problem asking for help.  I can do this, I know I can.
