I had to take an early nap again at about 11:30am yesterday and didn't get up until after 5pm!!! I didn't set an alarm, and for some reason my husband just let me sleep. So we never got to running errands. I still slept from 11:30pm-6 this morning.

I'm supposed to drop my car off at the dealership at 10:30 so they can take care of the recall. I think the last time I went through this they kept it because they ended up not having the parts in stock… I should call before I go to make sure they have them this time before I go.
My husband doesn't think the oil needs to be changed because there's only 21K miles on the car (and it's a 2010). So the last time the oil was changed I drove it in, and it's long overdue. So I'll have them do that, too.
I'm not even going to have them look at the window…

That $500 fine didn't exactly put us in a position to afford a costly repair right now. I'm SO glad that there will be no more fines and fees, no more cringing at the ATM withdrawing money over and over again for cab fare. I'm so lucky I had a clean driving record before this. Our insurance only went up $45/mo. which is far less than I expected and a lot less than what I was paying for in cab fare…
We'll be able to start saving money again now that this is over.

I'm going to pick up my prescriptions before I drop off the car. My husband was always bitching about driving me to the drugstore "all the time" (I take 9 prescriptions now and go 3-4 times a month), so it's something else I'm happy I'm able to do myself now…

I really don't know what he's going to do now that he won't have all these "favors" to hold over my head, or can't complain about further martyring himself now. Aside from the control aspect, I think that's part of why he wasn't thrilled at the prospect of me driving. I hope he feels a sense of relief that he doesn't have to do little things like that anymore and gets off the ****ing cross.
