I'm finally driving!!!

I got my license on July 5th 2017... I was almost 32! I know I know, I waited forever.


I still didn't drive though because I couldn't afford the insurance for a vehicle.
I got my income taxes on Feb 24th and bought insurance on the 26th I think.


We drove to the gas station at Roth's on March 3rd and filled up the tank. It cost just over $51.
After the gas station we drove to Napa to get some windshield wipers (the old ones were falling off, one had already fallen off.. dunno how that happened!) I also turned in the old battery that had been sitting in the back seat of my truck for over two years!
We stopped at Roth's on the way home and went in and bought some things.

The next day (Sunday) we took a small load to Goodwill. We stayed home from church today cause I had a head cold and Kai had a slight fever through the night.

On Monday the 5th, me and Caius went to say hi to my friends at Rite Aid. Edna was there, so I talked with her a little bit. Collie was there, and Joe was there. I went to get Sambucol for me and Ari (they were out) and some cold medicine for Kai.

On Tuesday the 6th, I had my first WIC appointment at 9:10am. (I had been worried about going to it because I wasn't driving when I made the appointment, and was trying to decide weather to walk or ask mom to take me.. Ari stayed home sick from school. She seemed fine but she said she was feeling crappy. We went for lunch at Dairy Queen. We went through the drive through cause we brought Zoe and it was warm today. We stopped at Rite Aid again cause Sarah was working and I hadn't seen her since I left, and she hadn't met Kai yet. I talked to her for about 10-15 minutes. Then I bought some wind shield wiper fluid and jumper cables. I went back outside and Ari complained that I took so long. (she didn't wanna come in)
We went home and ate lunch. Mom was already here.
We hung out until 3:30, when we headed out to go to Ari's appointment. She was supposed to get an HPV shot but after we waited like 10-15 minutes, they took us into a room and then asked why we were here. It turned out that in the two months since she got her first HPV shot, they changed the space in between shots. So instead of 2 months after the shot its 6 months, and so on. So we went home. I had also been nervous about parking in the parking lot where Ari's Dr. was cause it seemed very narrow. So we left and headed home. I think we stopped at the store on the way home.

Wednesday- I had Charlie all day so we didn't go anywhere until about 6:30ish. We headed to Safeway. I wanted to get a few different things. We bought a steak, marinade, baby formula (they didn't give me any at the WIC appointment cause I breastfeed) also go, baby food, some chicken, pork steak, coffee, pepsi, juice, gum for Ari, bleach wipes, rice, and a few other things.

On Thursday, I wanted to go to Goodwill, take the rest of my stuff there and also to go in and look for some sheets for when my new bed arrives. I also needed to get some printer paper cause I told mom I would print some bank statements for her. I decided to just go to Roth's get the paper and go to Goodwill later.
It was almost 1 when we got home (We left shortly after 12:30)
We didn't go to goodwill today, so we'll go tomorrow after Charlie leaves.



Some of my short term goals for driving is it, go to the zoo with my two kids, going camping either at john neal, or staying in a cabin at Silver Falls.
I wanna go to the beach with my kids and dogs.
