Tire, finger misc

Had another tire/screw incident so I went to get the new tire from Tire Discounters plugged. Spent over an hour there, spent $20.22.

Pinky was still splinted with a popsicle stick this week. Started taking 800mg of Ibuprofen on Friday. Woke up Saturday able to bend my finger enough to make an actual fist, but the swelling and stiffness returned. I am doing the hand putty to regain strength and mobility. 

It's officially May. 

The stock market took a dump on Friday, so the recession seems destined. I'm indifferent as long as I have a job and can afford things, I'll max out TSP to take advantage of the ragged market's dips. I don't need the money until I retire in maybe 20 years, so a down market is better as long as it eventually swings back up. 

Would be nice to have a million dollars one day, but inflation doesn't make the buck go as far, so I need as much cash saved as possible.
