fuel costs going up

I can see the costs per month in the budget will slowly creep up.

- gas prices have gone from 98.9/L to $102.9/L
- nights are cold and I've had nasty frost on my windshield from the warming up process
- the boy got his learner's and we've been toodling about a bit extra to give him practice.

We've been fortunate that it is mid november and there is no snow. I am more than a little anxious about him learning to drive compounded with the advent of snow and ice. It's a totally different way to drive. Forget acceleration and brakes!! That will just get you into trouble.

He's doing alright, I have to say. We started small and progressed up to things like the bridge, walmart parking, and busier traffic. For those of you from actual large cities, please take 'busier traffic' with a grain of salt :P

I've found myself channeling my mother a few times as I reach for brakes that aren't there. I am hoping it will get better ....for me. As I said, HE is doing not too badly LOL

Growing old is scary sometimes.
