It's The Little Things That Squeak Up On You

Yesterday I noticed that the steering wheel in my car is making this faint, little mouse-of-a squeak when I make a turn. Today the strap on my laptop case started squeaking with the rhythm of my walk down the street. This afternoon my right shoe began squeaking with every step. All of this makes me fear that my life is on the verge of coming loose at the seams. Either that or it's just my brain grinding to a halt.
