Won't Reach 5,000 Miles

Bringing in my car for service this week.  Don't think anything's wrong with it, so it's just an oil change and a tire rotate.  Thing is is that I have not reached 5,000 miles yet, although it's been half a year.  Not as if that 5,000 miles should be the milestone at which I bring in in my car.  My car has a minder, and it says my oil's only half-gone.  But I got real scared with the troubles my car has had in the past 18 months, so if my mechanic says that I should bring it in in six months and ignore the minder, I will -- for now.

I think I drive a lot, but if I haven't reached 5,000 miles in six months, that means I most likely won't drive 10,000 miles this year, and that means I don't drive anywhere much.  That probably is due to work, but I've become a bit more mindful of how I spend my time and my money.  Add worrying about driving my car everywhere to all that, and I might enjoy being a shut-in now.

With that being said, I have tried to find ways to reach 5,000 miles before I bring my car in.  (By the way, I could bring in my car a different time, but this week seems perfect.  I need to take some days off, and these couple days off this week I can center myself watching the Women's EUROS Semifinals.)  I had to drive a long ways for this event yesterday/Saturday, and I set up a, uh, session with one of my stripper girlfriends tomorrow/Monday, and she lives far away.  I really, really wanted to set something up with another stripper girlfriend today, but now that I think about it, if I, uh, spill my seed today, I won't have any, uh, life essence tomorrow.

Maybe I'm bringing my car in too soon, who knows.
