Yes, things are getting better! I ended up kicking a repair person to the curb who tried to hand me a bill for hundreds of dollars when it was just a simple system check and service for my heat pump. I suppose it's a rhetorical question, but why is it that any service, whether it's something at the house or car ends up being much more expensive than anticipated because of things "needing immediate attention". I'm getting better at saying NO and sticking to my guns.
