Jul. 23rd, 2008 03:56 pmThere is nothing like DOING SOMETHING to shatter the dull, scraping blade of futility. Know what I did today?
I bought a fridge. Know why?
Because crying about the old broken one wasn't helping.
Hey, did you know -- because I sure didn't -- that when a compressor dies on a refrigerator it can cost upwards of $2000 to repair?
Yeah, I could have bought three fridges today for that. Or one REALLY nice one that wouldn't fit in the kitchen.
Know what else? I got to buy it from the appliance store downtown -- which I walked to this afternoon with the kids. So I get to feel good about supporting local business AND I qualified for 12 months with no payments and no interest. So I have a year to come up with $600.
Which is good because everything in the old fridge is now garbage. Which isn't as bad as it could be, because we were due to go shopping.
I can do this.
I can do anything, dammit.
