Something happened today that greatly curtails my free time and money for awhile. I had an air conditioning guy come out to look at my heater. It has been acting up for about a week and a half, and I've been slowly and progressively getting colder in my house. Today that a/c conctractor delivered news which I had been dreading and expecting at the same time. My entire air conditioner/heater needs to be replaced. Both indoor and outdoor units. That translates to a minimum of $4,000 at the very least!
God knows that I'm going to have trouble raising that kind of scratch, and of course it won't be $4k. It'll be more because of my house, or the setup, or any one of a hundred reasons to hike the price. I've got a home warranty that will offset the cost a little, but I'll still end up paying the lion's share of the repair. With that in mind, and not having any other outstanding invites or plans for the night, I figured low key and cheap were good words to implement tonight.
Would that it went the way I had anticipated. This afternoon I finally got around to a hobby that had been completely put on hold due to the girlfriend: reloading. I sorted out all my spent brass and started the process of depriming all that brass. By 8pm I had snapped the pins in both my decapping dies, bringing that part of the process to a screeching halt.
I've been putting off doing housework. I loathe house cleaning (one of the things I know I need to do, but only did begrudgingly when Monica and I were still together), so I've put it off. Now that may be the only thing I've got to do that's active. Chances are I'll end up vegging out in front of the TV, rotting my brain with some rerun movie or TV show. Ah, the joys of being single again.
