The Heat Is On
Good day.
Well, the furnace guy called here on Friday and said he was expecting the part to be delivered Saturday and would be out as soon as it came in. I thought they don't work weekends, but wasn't about to question this. Saturday rolls around, and it's an ugly day, quite cold and raining like mad, ugly awful day. Me, Hubby, Litte R and Bear are all huddled around the fireplace trying to keep warm. Hubby started calling the furnace guy around 11, the guy says "I'm sitting here looking at the part", but he can't leave the shop until the other guy returns from a call he's on. UGH. After calling him twice, and just throwing the last pieces of split wood on the fire, he finally shows up, around 1:30-2:00 in the afternoon. I couldn't believe how nervous I was that he wasn't actually going to be able to fix the thing! I was freaking inside. Because they had been here a month ago with the wrong part, and I was so very fed up with being cold all the time. He was here for hours. The first time the furnace kicked on, haven't heard that sound in months, I stood over a floor vent upstairs checking if it was real lol. So, the house is toasty warm again sigh. But there's still a problem which he will have to come back and replace another part. Whatever the problem is, sometimes it won't start up on the first go and has to go through its cycle a couple of times before it will actually start. But whatever, it's working for now. Yay!
After sitting here with him all afternoon and whatnot and because Hubby had not gone to work, we decided to attend one of the parties we were invited to. The deciding factor was one of them started at 4 and was only 20 minutes away, the other was at 9 and an hour away. So around 6 we headed over to the exclusive party. It turned out to be even more exclusive than we had expected. We had a great time and were home before midnight! lol I must apologize to the other folks who invited us out, I'm sure you understand, and I hope you all had a great time too. We'll catch ya next time. Happy Birthday Willy!!
I spoke to my sister the other day and got some really bad news. My niece, who is actually 7 months older than me (don't ask), making her 45, has friggin lung cancer! She has 2 tumors on one lung. She goes for surgery the day before Thanksgiving. I feel so bad for her and her family. As far as I know she smokes but not nearly as much as me. She had a nagging cough after getting a virus. I still have a nagging cough and chest congestion! This is not good odds for me. Two sisters and two of their daughters all with cancer, gawd. However, I did just have chest xrays, that's how they knew I had bronchitis, so I would like to think if they saw anything else I would be informed. She is so in my thoughts. I sure hope all goes well for her with this. More motivation for me to quit smoking I tell ya. Up until age 40, your body seems to take care of itself. You can abuse it and do all kinds of stupid things. As soon as you hit 40, it all starts falling apart. You really have to start taking care of yourself.
Our power was out all morning today. We had received a couple of phone calls from Hydro telling us it would be out from 7 a.m til 10:30 or so. So even though the furnace was fixed and working it wasn't working all morning lol. I had forgotten all about this and woke up at 7 to this horrible loud beeping. My new computer has this power box thing that keeps the power on so you can shut it down properly when the power goes out. When the power goes out it beeps, LOUD. Nobody seems to know WHY Hydro did this, what they were doing. I asked a few neighbours, nobody knew. So we piled in the truck bright and early and headed into town for breakfast and coffee, which was nice, we don't do that often enough. We were invited to a Show & Shine today, but, we couldn't take the bike for one thing, it wasn't that nice of a day even though it was sunny and Hubby had promised to help out a friend today, so we didn't bother going.
My goodness...BORING...
Oh yeah, here's pictures of Bubba, the abused St. Bernard. He's still just a pup, and he is enormous. You can't really judge his size from the pictures.
What a cutiepatootie!!
Have an enjoyable evening.
