      Nope, even better. So I have a bit of cash saved, it’s been, emergency money in case the surgery took longer, whatever, that sort of thing. Just stockpiling.

      Home Depot has a portable room AC for $499.. I actually bought the same model a couple years ago for $599 at Costco, but it was broken, so I took it back, and I’ve been using my window unit hanging on the patio door.

      Well now we’re in a ground floor apartment so I can’t do that (unless I like people walking in).

      So I figure… meh.. I have a HD credit card, and anything you buy $450 and up you have 6 months to pay, so you can spread it out and pay no interest, and if you don’t, well, it’s just like a normal credit card. So I figure, WHY NOT, I can pay off $500 over 6 months, and at least have an enjoyable home.

      So I go in this morning, pick it up, and I go through the checkout, and damn be me, THIS WEEKEND ONLY, DO NOT PAY FOR ONE FULL YEAR.

      BONUS!

      Tami is going to be so happy to come home… nice clean rugs, organized home for the first time in years, air conditioning… I tell ya.

      And now I can sell my old window unit for probably $200 on top of it.

      I am feeling so much better about everything this week. I hope it keeps going.

        Oh man, You wanna buy me a Portable AC? My bf has been bugging me to get one. I will have to go check them out. I don’t need another credit card, but not paying it for a year would work out for me. That is so cool she will be coming home to all of that. You are a good man. 😀

          Shipping could be an issue.

            Yay I fixed my lumpy car idling and hopefully bad fuel mileage issue today.

            Just gotta keep the momentum going..

            Sounds like things are going pretty well. I hope it keeps up for you.

              OOOOH portable ACs are SO SWEET…we bought one for our old appartment. It was AMAZING how much more livable the place was afterwards…so cool and refreshing…

                  And wham, there’s the brick wall. Surgery postponed.

                      I’m sure you’re both feeling very frustrated and disappointed, to say the least. (good wishes and hugs to both of you)

                          Supposedly it is going to be Thursday now. I guess we’ll see what they say on Wednesday.

                          How can they postpone surgery?

                            Happens all the time. Thursday is not so bad. When our stuff gets postponed, its usually a matter of months.
