this wasn't in the plan |but life is still pretty good

The driver's side window on our Jeep fell down and wouldn't roll up (a common Jeep problem) and $470 later, it's been fixed. It's so frustrating that I have to pay so much to fix something that has no bearing on how the car runs. But after sulking for awhile, I realized that I'm grateful that I can pay the money to have it fixed. An amount very close to that was earmarked to go to savings this week, and now it won't and really that's not the end of the world because I'll still have enough money for my family's needs and the credit card will be paid off in full as always. So I go from totally irked to counting my blessings. Life's funny like that.
