10:02 • Grace-Hope calls us from my mum’s car. “We have a flat tire.” After calling AAA (God bless those people) and meeting up with them, Jorge the tire-fixer, announced there was no hole in mum’s tire, just that it was a “bad tire.” It perplexed even him that it wasn’t leaking from any apparent spot, just wouldn’t hold air.

What's In My Bag?
I’m a firm believer in being prepared- nearly as firm a believer in my “only-plan-when-necessary” life.

In My Oil Kit
You know those people who walk out of their homes and are immediately allergic to everything? I am that girl when it comes to medications/doctors.
