Today has not been a good day.
No, Alan is fine. It just seems like everything is falling apart around here.
1. Alan has a big chuck of meat out of him.
2. The “Check Engine” light is on in my car. We had it hooked up to the computer at the mechanic’s. Its something to do with the fuel/oil mixer thingy.Sounds expensive, and yes, that is a mechanic term.
3. This morning the light in the kitchen wouldn’t come on. We replaced the bulb. It still won’t come on. The valence is brown so I guess it went out. I wanted new kitchen lights anyhow.
4. Tonight while “cooking” dinner (aka: heating up vegetable soup in the microwave), I put the bowl in, set it to 2minutes. Two minutes later it beeps and I take it out. It isn’t hot. Repeat. Repeat again. Who ever has owned a microwave that works but won’t heat? Guess what I do???? I march to Walmart and buy another one. Just a small one to use as a camping microwave. At least now we can “cook dinner”.
I’ve washed 5 loads of laundry today and still have a few to go. (totally sanitizing the house – washing all bedding, towels, etc.) I have to admit I’m expecting the washing machine to die here soon. And the refrigerator is 14 years old. Anyone want to take a guess at which one will go out next?
Those who know me know I always look for the good in things. I try not to be a “negative person”, so, I must end on a positive note.
I’m blessed that I do have insurance to help pay the hospital bills. I can afford to just buy another microwave and light. The car is fixable too. Although Alan’s MRSA infection was serious, it was not fatal. And best of all, Alan got a call from our close, personal friend (CPF) , Bobby today! It was so good to hear from them all the way in Kentucky.
So, yes, we're having a few bumps in the road, but, its gonna be okay.
I gotta run now, the washing machine is making a funny noise........
