Gas Cap Wrench Thingy

One of my "Scleroderma friends" Cindy and i were talking about road trips. I mentioned that i hate going anywhere alone now, because i can't get the gas cap off my car by myself. (Scleroderma=hand issues) i absolutely HATE being dependant on others to help me do basic things like putting gas in my car. She mentioned this thing she has called a Gas Cap Wrench. We went out to her car so i could see it. The name is pretty self explanatory: it's a plastic thingy you use, like a wrench (kind of), to pry the gas cap off and put it back on. I haven't been able to do this myself for YEARS. i was able to use the wrench no problem on her car and mine! i am buying one ASAP. I know it's a little thing, but being able to put gas in my car by myself will be awesome.

And it's great timing because my Dad called today. There's a family thing next weekend, and he really wants me there. My husband probably won't be able to go, so now i can go alone and not have to ask one of my brothers to ride to the gas station with me before i head home!

You're probably all thinking this is a dumb blog and wondering why i'm so excited about something so trivial. But any little bit of independance i can get back makes me super happy!!
