To The Moon And Back

If there’s a handbook, I’d love to have one. We’ve been spending a lot of money for the past two weeks on toys, shoes and laptop add-ons. I know I should be saving some money, not spending them but these are all items from my long list of things-to-buy. At least I can focus on saving again now that I’ve scratched off some items from the list. NOT!

If only things were that simple.

As soon as we got home, we learned that our microwave oven is taking too long to heat the food and our rice cooker, third this year, broke down just like that. What I usually do when things like these happen is head straight to the supermarket to replace the broken appliances. But just to be sure, I told our helper to ask around the neighborhood if there’s someone who knows how to fix appliances. I’m pretty sure some of the appliance parts just needed to be replaced. The problem is there weren’t any one in the village who knows how. Handymen are a thing of the past LOL. Even my husband told me we should just go ahead and buy them to save time. Time, not money is more important to him. I wish I could say the same.
