feelin' a bit o' pressure

my gas tank was on empty yesterday, so i decided to fill it up & see how much it would take.  $35 later, i knew.  recently i have been able to fill my tank up for $22, which was still awful since i fondly remember a time when i could fill it up for less than $15!!  anyway, since i have a bit of a commute, a tank usually lasts me a week.  if i go to mom's during the week, w/o making it on the way home, i cut it down by a day.  so, as gas prices rise, that's an extra $13 a week.  doesn't sound like a lot, but that's just if i strictly go to & from work!  i'm very thankful that bret has a job, but right now it means i have to take him there before i go to work, so that's adding ... next, monday i have to go to the lab for blood work.  tuesday i have to take chloe to finally get the brakes fixed, and then am hopefully still having dinner w/ nicki!  wednesday is payroll - and even tho jan's is close by, it's still an extra start & stop of the car.  


and i really, really want to plan some road trips this summer to see joy & sarah & debi!!  but if a tank is $35... idk.  i really don't.  :(  


anyone else feeling the pressure of the pump?


ttfn!

    Yes!!! It's just so ridiculous how crazy the gas prices have been!! I remember when it was only $15 to fill up as well. I miss those days! Luckily our office relocated from downtown to closer to where I live so that has help a ton since everything is so much closer now. all those extra trips really do add up and I'm so sorry :( I hope prices get back to normal soon and we'll all get some relief!
