Death of a thousand cuts

[vicarz]

MRI tomorrow will cost about $400 (and I'm very insured)
My computer, loading a huge MS win 7 update, isn't booting and is appearing beyond my repair-ability without paying for help.
I got side-swiped in traffic, and while easily proven as not my fault, due to liability laws in this area will probably leave me both paying the deductible and being carless and on public transportation / lyft for a while.
It's time to buy a vent hood, ceiling fans, and a dining room chandelier.
My laptop is dying.
My tv died.
I got a memory card for the camera, but after charging the battery for over an hour it still doesn't react to the on button in any way.

Everything is broken. Everything costs money, and time, which is money, to fix.

Ugh. I empathize. When everything breaks at once it is incredibly frustrating and exhausting.

FWIW we ended buying all our ceiling fans at Amazon because the lighting place we'd originally ordered from couldn't get them delivered in time. Turns out it was probably a savings of 50% going the Amazon route as well.

Dunno about DC but in Virginia (or at least Arlington) if your vent hood is capable of moving more than 400cfm you have to also install a fresh air makeup system which can add rather dramatically to the cost. Something to check on before deciding.

I've also had some Win7 updates take literally hours for the system to chew through. YMMV.
