Can you find a friend to go and split the gas using her car? Sometimes just buying a few dollars worth of something new for quilting is a good tonic to take the edge off or awhile.

I see you are in Illinois as I am. Our gas dropped below $4 today. Maybe a drop is headed your way and will give you a bit of relief.
