<br />She's doing excellent too. Her determination to get her driver's license back is light years ahead of the timeline I expected. She's a registered nurse, and during her stay at the regional hospital, the doctor told her that she had a job here if she stayed clean for at least one year. I have no doubt she'll make that goal.

It's unavoidable.<br />Even thoughts, good or bad.<br />And it's like gravity, it makes no difference whether you believe in it or not, it's there.<br />Congrats, that was a pretty good deal.

A couple of months ago I offered 5 grand for my friend's 2008 Toyota Yaris, 40,000 miles, excellent condition. That car prices higher than 5 grand.

I didn't have the money so I paid her 100 bucks every week for the past 10 weeks. Tonight she told me the car was mine with no additional payments.

At first I thought she was joking. I even grilled her to let me in on the catch.

Tomorrow we're putting the car in my name.

Basically, I took care of her cat and apartment for a month while she was residing in a drug abuse treatment facility. I expected nothing in return for doing this, except for the extra gas money for travel from the apartment to my job. It was a 50 mile round trip. She's been a good friend and helped me out financially a few months ago, so I it was my pleasure to return the favor. But I never expected anything like this. I'm still in shock after an hour and a half.

She just saved me 4 grand. You have no idea the weight she just lifted over me. I feel like I just won the p-4.

There are still some good people left on this planet.
