What a Day!!

Yesterday can be considered as a series of unfortunate events or as Geoff said, When it rains, it pours. Geoff's car wouldn't start in the morning and he had to be at the doctor at 730am. So he took my car and off he went. An hour and 20 minutes later he was back (830am) and I still hadn't left for work. I had called in explaining that I would be late but I didn't think that I would be an hour late. The walk in clinic opened at 730am and Geoff was the 14th person in line. We thought he would have been the first and that it wouldn't take long at all. Whoops. Good thing is, my work is really nice and it was all okay. I just worked through my lunch to make up the difference. So off we go. Geoff drives me to work and then he's off to work.

The day goes by alright and Geoff picks me up at 430pm. We call his auto insurance to give them our new bank account and they say that the next payment will be 170.00 dollars!! Holy smokes!! It was 98.50 and now it's 70 dollars more?? Just because he moved into the city. I don't know about that but that really sucks. Then I go to do the dishes and the water doesn't get hot at all. Geoff mentions that his shower was luke warm the entire time. Oh no. The hot water tank must be busted. Well it turns out that the pilot light is not working and there is no flame. Geoff tries to get it to burn by using a piece of wood and a match. No such luck. It just won't stay lit. So we eat supper and then Geoff tries it again. He figures it out, the pilot thing isn't working properly and voila, the flame is back and heating the water again. One crisis taken care of as we leave for Geoff's parents to fix the car hoping that when we get back the flame will still be burning and that our house won't have burnt down. Oh and Geoff had to run with the car and jump start it by popping the clutch so that we could get it start. Luckily all I had to do was get in after it was already started.

At his parents (oh did I mention that due to Geoff's job his car reaks of the glue that he uses to do decks and we are both practically high by the time we get there) his dad, by some crazy miracle, has all of the parts needed to get Geoff's car running again. Gotta love the in-laws. So we head off for home and our house is still there and we have hot water. I take a hot shower and we go to bed somehow having averted all of the things life throws in our way and feeling blessed by the love of the Lord. Hope you all had a better day!!
