Buy or fix?

It's been a long week.

I had a presentation for my class and it was a group project. Tuesday and Wednesday was used mostly for the presentation.

In Thursday morning, I was going to eat at food court for lunch and bring leftover of curry rice for dinner. So I cooked rice, and put curry and rice in my lunch box. I ate Taco Bell for lunch, then I went to library to work on one of my other class's assignment. Around 5:00, I went to my car by BCM and opened trunk, then noticed that there is not what's supposed to be there. Apparently, I left my lunch box in my apartment.

So, I would have no meal before my night class. Fortunately, one very kind friend at BCM offered me a couple pieces of pizza. But it was disappointing to leave something I made for myself.

Friday morning, I was making coffee, and when I pulled the decanter, its handle came off. It seemed that some kind of glue that supported the hold of handle and glass lost its grip and screw got loose for some reason. Walmart didn't have a replacement decanter for my machine. Ordering it online would cost the same as getting a new unit because of shipment.

When I took out the screw I found out the plastic of the handle dissolved and stick to the screw. I couldn't take it off of the screw so it became useless. So, if I couldn't get a right screw, I had to get new one.

Well, my coffee maker is three years old. Maybe the decanter fell apart because it was old. Perhaps I'm ready for new one?

I went back to Walmart today, but they were still out of stock of the decanter. If you pay extra five dollars, you can get a new coffee maker with a little more capacity. But instead, I got 1/2" screws for a dollar.

It was a little thicker than the original one, but it went in. It's still loose but hold it anyway. So I didn't spend $17-20 for a new machine.

It's been a stressful week, but at least I've gone through.

It was also college football day. JSU beat Murray State, Alabama beat Florida. UAB lost to Troy by one point. So UAB doesn't have a win for this season yet... I started to think JSU is better than UAB, at least for football. Basketball is a reverse, but you know... Just JSU's game is more exciting. Especially since JSU upset Ole Miss last year. Who knows.

I guess I wrote enough. It seems that this post is so random... Topics jump around... Sorry but hope you enjoyed.
