Try a Little Kindness
There’s something to be said for being nice. Although Wylie wanted to eat the repairman yesterday, Randy was (as always) very nice to him. Not in a fake way at all, just sincere. The estimate to fix our heat pump was about $300. He charged us $211, saying it wasn’t as difficult as he thought it would be to deal with. Hmmm. We couldn’t believe our good fortune. It’s not like us to have luck with anything, so we breathed a sigh of relief. A hundred dollars can make a big difference.
On a slightly different subject, we’re thinking about prepping the wallpaper in Randy’s bathroom so we can paint over it this Saturday. It may have to wait ’til next weekend, though. We’re in between paydays again and have to go get our taxes done first thing Saturday morning. I always dread that. I’m hoping we don’t have to pay. If we get some back, maybe we could put some back into our ailing house.
Never again will I be “car poor.” I love our cars but regret going into so much debt. Lesson learned.
