reined in

i was almost the new owner of a new receiver for my home theater. but then i felt the universe was telling me to hold off for a while:

- the brand and model we were originally targeting just ran out.
- the store was supposed to have a delivery last night but it never came.
- it took jacob a while to fully decide that getting the other brand is as good as getting the first brand we originally planned to get. we had to do a Q&A session between ourselves working out the pros and cons clearly in our heads.
- when we finally decided to get the other brand, the swiping machine won't work.

the store suggested we pay in cash and i almost did but then i flashed back on all those little bumps and i thought, maybe, i should just come back and see.

i need to catch up on some sleep. badly.
