Had to share

It has been hell living in my apartment during this heat wave! Yesterday it was 99, my 16 yr old daughter and I went out to a movie and dinner that I really couldn't afford just to get out of the heat. A friend at work gave me an old ac she had for my daughters room. She felt bad for me because my daughter was going to her dads for the ac. He has 4 ac's and the family home. It was so nice of my friend. So the last couple of weeks I had been suffering with no ac in my room, I would sleep in her room when she was at her dads. Last night was brutal, 2 coronas, at cold shower at 10:30, a fan in my room blowing hot air and I still couldn't sleep! Went to work this morning for a 12 hr shift on 4 hrs sleep. Well tonight we come home and my downstairs neighbor calls me and says she has something for me. She came up with a brand new ac for my bedroom! OMG! I could not believe it! She was so gracious about it. She is single herself, and she said she remembers being a single mom and having friends help her when money was tight and she just wanted to "pay it forward". She also helped us install it! So nice! And at the heels of such a crappy week with Soon to be ex narc fighting me for child support! I have a new resolve to help other women, and I will definitely pay it forward when I get back on my feet! Here's to women! We rock!
