Sorry to hear the bad news. I think it's an unwritten "Murphy's Law".
Just when you think your getting ahead, something happens.

Just when I feel like I'm getting ahead, things go south. Just got the SUV repaired - it was way less expensive than snow tires for Ladybug - and had a few extra bucks left, so I decided to start re-furnishing my house (during the summer, putting money into Ladybug was more important than furniture ). Got a great deal on some new bedroom furniture on Wednesday, but even at the great price, it still left me pinching pennies until next pay day. Then, Friday morning, my garage door broke. It's bent, and won't close unless I push on the bent part while I'm closing it. And don't even think about using the garage door opener! I watched that thing sway and bend the brackets, and thought for sure it was going to drop right on Ladybug!! YIKES! So, now I'm digging deep to find a way to afford replacement. It's a 12 year old door, I know for sure my homeowner's insurance won't cover it. Hopefully, I don't have to replace BOTH doors (the double one is broke, the single one is fine, but if I can't get a double to match.... ugh)
Never fails - every time I have a few extra dollars, and get something I want or need, something else pops up right AFTER I spend the money....

The silver lining is that my furniture is getting delivered today!! Yay!
