There 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.

Of course you can do anything! You have a brain and thumbs. It doesn't get any better than brain and thumbs. :)

AND you are a woman and a mom. You've got it all on your side. :D

Why didn't you buy a fridge big enough to live in during the summer? I wish I had.
