I had lunch at the nearby Mcdonald&#8217;s and have a cup of Latte at Starbuck, read the free newspaper provided by them.  This afternoon was quite relaxing, when I get a pocket of time that I can&#8217;t spend it doing anything else.  I finished a small book called Slow-down therapy, kinda match the theme of today.  After I picked up my car, I found it runs more smoothly.  I guess the servicing really did some work.  My next service is in next March, I guess spending an relaxing afternoon doing nothing is not too bad every half a year.  My car need maintance, my mind also need some maintance.  I decided to use the regular car service as a chance to give some reflection to my life in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I took my car to regular service today.
