"The microwave just broke," my mom told me. "We're hoping the fridge will last just a few months longer."
This is the weird time of the transition; long enough to have appliance failure be a serious inconvenience but far too short to buy a new one.
Sometimes it feels like life is just a series of trying to make things last, just a little bit longer, until the next place, the next apartment, the next big change. Just making do, for now.
I think maybe it's time to invest in things that will last a bit more than just a little longer.
