So now I'm good... I'm gushing good but... I'll try not to get any on you...
So...
Our fusebox went on the fritz, we're not the type to complain overly so we figured we'd wait and we made due because it was only affecting the ceiling lights in the kitchen and living room. About two weeks later suddenly there's no hot water coming out of the tap in the kitchen. Of course I'm poor and generally broke so my first thought was to my gas bill... called the man, when he got home he checked and the gas was still on. (Yeah I know horrible that we wouldn't know something like that) Anyway, so the man heads into the basement and hears a 'pssssh' sound as he nears the water tank. There was water all over that corner of the basement and the 'psssh' was actually coming from the tank itself. It had a leak inside that had put out the pilot light. So the man and I strong armed the tap on the tank and got the water to stop leaking out all over the floor.
So with this we did call the landlords. Who got the gas company out the next day to look at the water tank. And they had a electrician coming out the day after to put in a breaker box where the fusebox was.
So this is on a Friday. Next day, Saturday, gas co comes out and looks. 'Sorry can't replace the tank there's no liner in your chimney, have to have one it's illegal not too. We can get someone out on Monday.'
Well thank goodness we were going out of town for the weekend. (which we had an awesome time reconnecting with a bunch of people we missed).
So on Sunday the landlord/lady came out and got the electrician to come and do the box.
We came home Sunday night to lights!! yay!
Found out that the gas company was coming out on Tuesday... and yay! I woke up to hot water and took a most needed shower.
So yay! to hot water and lights! and neither having to do with bills!
So then a couple of days later go to call the cable company and arrange to make a payment, and the phone wasn't working. Ok looked at the bill. We had a few days before having to make the much needed payment... nope ends up they just decided to turn it off before the deadline. *le sigh*
So it's been really peaceful around the house... *laughs*
My dollar this month is gonna be stretched to the limit I dare say... but it's all good... we take it all in stride now... can't afford for me to have a heart attack...
So phone should be back tomorrow or day after... not that anyone who reads this actually calls *laughs*
I say so a lot.
Anyway... few more days until my visitor from Cali, totally stoked. Everyone here is. Three whole weeks... nice long visit.
Kids go back to school on the 8th!! Yay!!
Also coming up... YAMS Womens Weekend (You Are My Sister)... I'll be gone to that for the weekend of the 11-13 of Sept.
I come back from that and Bing goes back to Cali on the 16th... :(
Then I leave on the 20th to go down to Tennessee until the 29th.
There's other picnics, bbq's and girls nights and stuff like that in there as well but those are the three main things that have my September busy...
I know, you're wondering 'how is she going to Tennessee for 9 days if she's so broke?!' Well if you're friend enough to me to have me on a msg system ask me there. Other then that, none of your bees wax!
*laughs and sings...*
I'm late... I'm late... for a very important date... no time for Hello ~ Goodbye... I'm late... I'm late... I'm late...
toodles!
