The Kind of Week It's Been

The price tag for the auto repair is $1,541.09 - if I choose to have it done.

And I'm opting out for the moment, because it's the air-conditioning in the Ford and, at least for two or three months, we're better off without A/C in the car and keeping $1,541.09 in the bank.

(Also, I think I can get a better deal outside of the dealership's service bay.)

The good news is that the heater is unimpaired, and the forecast for next week calls for intense cold.
