That's not a big deal. IDK if you're looking for advice, but here it is anyway!

Here's what I usually do: Pull the wheel off and take a look around the tire. Chances are you'll find a nail or a screw head. If you don't find anything, it's still usually easy to find a small hole. Over-inflate the tire slightly, then use Windex or something similar and spray all around the tire. Look for bubbles, that's where the hole is. Remove the screw, if present, then use the reamer from the above kit. Then insert a plug (follow the directions that come with the kit). I never used a kit with the cement stuff, but I've never had a problem with these types of plugs. Every time I've used one, the PSI would hold... until I picked up another screw anyway.
I know not every one has a make-shift mechanics garage at home, so if you don't have an air compressor just use a bicycle pump. It might take a little more effort to pump up a car tire than it would a bicycle or wheelbarrow tire, but it is perfectly doable.
It might be a slight pain in the ass to do, but it's better than paying ~$25 at a shop to get it plugged, in my opinion anyway.
edit: YouTube demonstration:
You can see when he's inserting the reamer and plug that the tire is pretty flat. When you reaming and plugging, it really helps if you inflate the tire so it doesn't give like that. Of course, that's not so easy if you're only using a bicycle pump.
Well, my truck decided to die today. Got it being towed to the dealership currently, and we're trying to find me something to drive, although the rental place has no cars. Might have to ride the bus for a while, which isn't that big of a deal, but it means I'll have to get up at 5:30 if I want to get to my 8 AMs on time...
: Having more car problems. First off the seat belt is having issues the locking mechanism just doesn't want to let go sometimes and on occasion it has prevented me from buckling up. The issue is most likely the dust and dirt I kick up on these back roads messing with it but even after cleaning it the problem while not as bad is still there. Also think I have a slow leak in the front right tire

: Getting trained on a third mail route all next week which should make for a nice pay check. It's one of the longer routes though so it will probably take me quite a while as well as probably 2 trips to the post office on the busier days since my Jeep is smaller.
I mean, we were talking billions with math dice the other day, and that was just for sport...clearly.
