well, i think i finally decided to get the A/C in my car fixed.
i watched joy practically melt in front of me last friday while we were driving around doing errands in my black, hot car... that was so sad. it made me think about what the heat has been doing to me over the years... i've been exhausting myself, riding around, sweating buckets, in the swampy north carolina heat & humidity. of course i've also been inflicting my poor passengers with awful discomfort, too. (those that are brave enough to ride with me, that is... i always make a disclaimer up front: "remember! i have no air conditioning!!" most people are smart and back away.)
anyway, i took my car to the shop today to get my brakes looked at, and i told them to go ahead and fix the A/C, too... if the brakes weren't going to cost too much.
of course i jinxed myself with that last phrase. because OF COURSE the brakes are going to cost too much.
around $300 to be precise. i need a new master cylinder.
and because of all the work that entails, they won't have time to even touch my A/C today. which is probably ok, because after a $300 repair do i really need to go and spend an additional $700 on air conditioning? no. especially when i'd have to put it on my credit card.
maybe this was meant to be. maybe i'm not supposed to have air conditioning. (remember how my whole heating & cooling system went out shortly i bought my house last year?) maybe this just is god's way of telling me to prepare for an eventual eternity in hell. "get used to the heat, lady... it's gonna be hot down there."
