To cover some positive...
On the positive side...
Erik took the car in to have the breaks worked on. He told them just to do the rotors, and rotate the tires...that they could check the brake pads but he was sure they were fine. We were figuring $100 for the whole kit&kaboodle. It was only $50! The pads were fine, they turned the rotors and rotated the tires! Erik says he thinks it needs an alignment, too, because now that the breaks are smooth, it's pulling a tiny bit...but it's not an immediate concern. So, we saved a little there.
And I've gotten the prologue and Ch. 1 done on my novel. I still haven't finished writing down all the backstories...but I have the most important ones down...so hopefully from here it's all good :) I'm going to get a flash drive to store them on...Erik suggested it...he's so sweet and supportive about it :)
