Thanks everyone. Yeah, I'm probably fretting about it more than I should - I'm just so close to those 135 mins (and a new baby, and a stack of unpaid bills...) all I can do is sit here and mull it over and over while I wait for another trip.
It would be so tempting to take the first thing that would make ends meet right now, but I do want to keep at least one eye on the long term big picture, which is very blurry to say the least. Keep the replies coming - this is good stuff.
