Eka's Portal • Fuck this whole year.

I hate winter. I hate bad luck.

After a shitty year of medical problems, of course the year has to go out with an even bigger bang: The furnace stopped working. Someone came to fix it and it broke apart into pieces. It's too old to replace the parts, since they're no longer sold. New furnace won't be installed until next week and costs just short of $4000.

It's 3 degrees outside, with a wind chill of -20 degrees. And it's freezing in here.

Happy fucking holidays, indeed.

I don't really think there's anything else that anyone can do. But thanks, anyway.

I'm going to take commissions come the new year, so maybe I can help out things through my own efforts.

$4000? Agggh, It hurts >.<
And medical problems, a terrible combination. Should I assume that you don't have anywhere to stay while you find the way to replace it? And yes, It can be a terrible part of the year. I truly wish you that things go for the better this new year!

No, they did a 'patch-up' job to hold it in the mean time. And I'm currently staying with the family to help take care of my dad, so all of us would have had to seek another place and that would be kind of... impossible. We don't live near other relatives. Anyway, it took pretty much all day for the heat to rise back up, but it's OK now. It's supposed to be suitable until it gets fixed with the new one.

Thank you, though. I hope this next year will be a lot better.

Tell me about it! I just got dumped this week too!

The most annoying, depressing stuff always happens around holidays.

It's some kind of law of physics, I'm certain.

Wow... Perfect timing for it to fall apart. That sucks, man.

Sure seems that way. I'm ready for the year to be over.

D: Can't get a portable space heater?
@ Indi -- omg. I know. Seems like the holidays are also very sobering. You may wake up, look at the person you're with and decide not to be with them any longer, and most certainly not during the holidays.

No, this house is way too big with too many rooms to heat, unfortunately. And it's a very drafy old house.
