i just had my car serviced on thursday. it was due for its 5,000 mile oil change and check-up (tune-up? i don't know, i'm not a car person). i also asked the guy if he would check my brakes for me. back in february when i got my car serviced in utah before shipping it to kentucky, the man at the toyota place told me my brake pads were suuuuper worn and needed to be replaced immediately upon returning home. 

(i've had that thought in the back of my head every time i've gone out on the road. i'm honestly surprised i haven't slammed into the back of someone's car due to barely there brake pads.) 

well, the kind man who worked on my car told me that my brakes were perfectly fine. not only were the fine, they were in great condition, and wouldn't need to be replaced for months. he said the guy in utah was probably trying to take advantage of me, seeing as i'm young and obviously know nothing about cars. this guy could've replaced my brake pads and charged me an arm and a leg for something i didn't even need done! buuuuuut he didn't. i think it's because there's still some genuinely good people left on this planet. few, but definitely enough. 

that is all.

i hope your monday has been swell.
