Warning

Unknown

I’ve told you that the Gremlins are in full force in our area lately.

The latest is our Honda Ridgeline. We took it in yesterday. They called today, saying the repairs it needs will be about $600. Sigh.

I also finally reached the propane people. A guy will come out between 12 and 3 on Thursday to see if he can help my husband get the pilot light for the heater in the shop lit, or figure out what needs to be repaired or fixed out there.

When things tame down a bit, our porch ceiling sheet rock needs to be replaced.

And so it goes.

In my NEXT life, I will be tall as a basketball player, strong as a football player, smart about fixing things, and have a gazillion dollars….

In My NEXT Life…

I have promised my husband that in my next life, I will do everything I can to be –

AN ELECTRONICS EXPERT – defencecareers.mil,nz

 

STRONG AND MUSCULAR – so I can help haul things more easily.

 

A PHYSICS EXPERT – so I can grasp what we’re trying to do more easily – forensisgroup.com

AND –

TALLER – so I don’t have to stand on a ladder to reach everything!

He kindly says he loves me just the way I am – but tell that to me when I’m red-faced, sweating, plus huffing and puffing after helping him bring the new TV out of the truck,

  • through the garage,
  • up the steps,
  • through the gate into the dining area,
  • through the gate into the living room,
  • and across the floor to where we could set it down.
  • THEN we had to fight it out of the boxes,
  • stand it up after attaching the legs,
  • lift it up to put on the new support in front of the entertainment center,
  • and attach all the cords and wires and nylon ropes to keep it from falling….

We did it, and he’s working with adding updates and programming so we might be able to watch TV for the first time in three weeks or so since we were hit by lightning!

If we can get it working properly, it’ll be a really nice gift for the 4th of July.

THEN we can worry about whether the DVR,  DVD player, and movie storage system are still working….
