Sometimes I make really dumb decisions when it comes to doing things around the house. I don’t intentionally make dumb decisions about things like that, but sometimes I just can’t figure out the right thing to do. I like to try and fix things around the house myself so that I can try to save money when I can, but most of the time I don’t know how to do things. I had to call the plumber a couple of weeks ago to get him to fix the toilet when I completely failed at fixing it myself for two days. Your toilet really isn’t one of those things that you can afford to leave broken, that’s for sure. Anyway, this week, I ended up having to call the HVAC company to have them come and take a look at my heating system. The heating system in my house wasn’t firing up the way that it was supposed to and even though I tried and tried to fix it, I could not figure it out. It was really getting cold and I wanted to turn the furnace on but I couldn’t. I’m just not the kind of person who can deal with the cold for very long and so not having a working heating system just was not an option for me. But instead of calling the HVAC company and making an appointment like a normal person, I waited around and tried to fix it myself over and over. I think that I ended up tearing it up more than it was to start with, though!
