I tried setting up payment arrangements with my electric corporation… This worked for a while, but after that I got into a motorcar accident.
Thankfully, I was perfectly fine, as was the person who hit me, but this unforeseen financial burden easily knocked me off my balance when it came to my budget.
I have not had the best financial situation for the past few years, so I’ve been living paycheck to paycheck! Now I’m facing down having to go separate from electricity or water for an entire week! I’m really blessed that it won’t end up being longer… My service will get shut off for a week and after that I will be able to pay to have it turned back on, but being separate from an a/c is my chief concern. I can constantly go back to Mom and Dad’s to do my laundry and take a shower, although I will ultimately have to sleep in the heat of my own home, and without an a/c, I will have to ramp up the use of my ceiling fans for sure! I willbe wearing much more lightweight clothing as well. I willeasily go around in nothing but shorts on some afternoons this week for sure! At least I also have a fan for my room in the evenings. The air that it will blow will not be the coolest, but it’s something. Without an a/c I will also have to make sure that all blinds and curtains are closed and drawn during the day to keep out that sunlight. I will be in heaven when that a/c finally kicks back in after I pay my bill!
