Thankfully my car checked out okay and doesn't need to be replaced. It does need new brake lines, but we're talking about a few hundred dollars tops. HUGE load off. (One guy told me I needed to get a new car in the next year, another that I was looking at $800+ just to fix my brake lines.)

So I'm going to town with mom this morning, picking up my car, then running errands. Two big boxes of books to take to the used book store, a few groceries to pick up, that kind of stuff.

DH talked to his clerk and found out our paycheck next week should be a normal one, no more dinky partial paycheques.

SO happy it's Friday, looking forward to the long weekend and being able to chat with honey. No holiday plans yet...
