The mechanic is 20 minutes late. I hope he is worth it.

Well, I've had him before (no, perverts -- not that way!) and he was fine. He was early, fixed things at a reasonable rate and was on his way.

Trying to book him has been annoying. He was supposed to be doing my car a couple of days ago, but he didn't actually confirm. But then he sent me an email his oil pan gasket blew on the way to meet me and asked to reschedule. Then I gave him a list of dates and times that would work for me, and replied back saying "doesn't matter when as long as you give me the address." Ugh! So we made arrangements for today at 3:30 and his last email to me was "see you then". He called this morning but didn't leave a message. Why not call if you're running late? Or in the other day's case, call if you can't make it?

I can only wait for another 40 minutes. I have some tax-free shopping to do today!!

Ooooh, and the spa was wonderful! I don't think I'd go for such a long stretch of time again. I was there for 4 and a half hours, and I am starving even though I took a sushi break. My face feels nourished; I got a shoulder massage, and I can't stop looking at my nails!!!!
