I hate adulting. 
I think I mentioned like 2 months ago I had to buy a new stove and dishwasher. The oven broke like a month before that and I used the toaster oven and BBQ for most of the summer. Then the dishwasher broke so we replcaed both. close to 2k. We paid off the CC and were like yes.

So this weekend the microwave shoots sparks EVERYWHERE and its DEAD. The fridge was breaking. The shelves were broke, drawers. Water dosent work. Stuff dosent work quite right, freezer isnt keeping things solid. That kind of thing.

So we go to Lowes to buy a new microwave and they are having a hella good sale on appliances. up to 50% off on select models and then 10% off on top of that. 
So we figured out one we liked. It was 3200 down to 1600 then 10% off. So for the micorwave and new fridge, it was...

you guessed it

2k.


On top of that, Two weeks ago we had a snow storm. All over the news. Mass panic and closing highways. While I was driving one of my sensors went mad. I thought it was because of all the snow build up on the car. So the next monday I go to work and it starts screaming again. Turns out. someone fucking HIT my car. I mean its 4 years old so its got some scratches. But they broke the bumper. I dont overly care about the bumper. Some shiny duct tape call it good lmao. BUT where it was hit. RIGHT where it was hit. Are all my safety sensors. All the haywire screaming while I drive... Yeah the sensors in that spot. 

I had to fix it because it randomly dings like for 2 minutes straight then stops. I couldent drive like that. I made it two days and we put it in the shop.

There goes 400 for that. 


Im never getting my CC paid off at this rate. Yes we could have waited on the fridge, But the sale was so hard to pass up. It wont be like that often. Pre black friday.


We got a big wholesale order and I wanted to use half of it for Christmas. We ended up spending it. Sadness. 
I just hate the adulting misery. There is always another bill. Another fee another SOMETHING. Our health insurance is going up 200 a MONTH. How the hell is that even legal to jump health insurance that much. Without it, my meds are STILL more expensive. Can i just quit geeze. 

on the plus side. We got 75 to decorate for Christmas at the office. And Im DIYing most of it. 
I spent 5 dollars on a roll of paper and used amazon boxes. Every thing else I already owned.

We now have a fireplace at work! 

Next up, Ill be DIYing gingerbread houses. Above the fireplace is a window ( to my office) and ill be doing a gingerbread house over/around the window!
