I'm not combative at life...it just sucks!
So yeah, Mike and I finally got our water main repaired last week. We even have a few frozen boulders in our front yard for AJ to play on now and shiny new pipes and even a new meter.
So life should be good right?
Yeah this year hates us...
Thursday of last weekend I come home from laundry day and the house is freezing. I'm thinking it's just that the pilot light went out again. Go downstairs, relight it, and go upstairs to my nice warm blankies cause I am not keen on becoming a meat popsicle.
Mike comes home about an hour later and comments that it's an ice box downstairs. I tell him I relit the pilot when I got home. He goes to make sure it's all good cause the house should have been warmer after an hour of heat.
Pilot was out again. Mike relights it and comes upstairs to bed. We're just starting to fall asleep when we hear a loud boom.
Mike goes to check the furnace again. Pilot light is out...again. This is the 3rd relighting of it in under 2 hours.
We sigh and figure we'll have to call someone in the morning to come look at it. Since we had to spend a bunch on the water problem we are trying to make our furnace limp along till summer when furnaces will be a lot cheaper.
Call the heater people in the morning. Mike takes off work to sit in the cold and wait for them while I take AJ to the in laws and finish laundry.
Heater guy tells us that we forgot to change our filters, which should be done every three months. Yeah only a small problem that can be fixed! Heater guy gets 80 bucks and departs.
1 hour later Mike hears another loud boom downstairs and goes to check what's up. Not only is the pilot out, he smells gas!
Mike calls the guy back who cringes and then tells Mike that there's nothing he can do but give it a burial. We're gonna have to get a new furnace. This is last Friday...and we all know no one works the weekends anymore.
So Mike and I spent a lovely weekend freezing our tails off in our house. Thank god we knew how to dress to stay warm, though I did feel like I was suppose to have nero make-up on. We have heat now but that's another 7000 plus bucks out the window. 14000 so far this year.
Now we have issues with Mike's family cropping up. Grandma got put on hospice and is pretty much dying, this means a heavily unhappy Mike. Add to that AJ's been sick and cranky since Monday.
Is it any wonder I've latched onto a board rp to preserve my sanity? Apparently it's a bad thing if you ask Mike. It's like him shrieking about NERO all over again!
I'm sorry if I don't wanna raid on WoW. My stress levels are high enough without having to deal with some of the idiots on there thanks. I'd much prefer to do my board rp and chat with my fellow rpers about the chaos we've got going.
SO GET THE FUCK OFF MY BACK! ARGH!
