Looks Like 2020 Will Be Interesting


Looks like 2020 is going to be as crazy as 2019 was.  Continuing on with problems; my toilet is leaking.  I now have to call a plumber.  When we had the bad weather I lost my internet.  Of course, they can’t come out to fix it or find out what is wrong until later in the week.  I am behind on posting my blogs.  Last night we had a lot of rain, thunder and lightning which was so loud it kept me awake.  I am tired.  Today was only supposed to be a few light showers.  It has rained about two inches so far.  And…..I had a foot doctor appointment this morning.  That did go well.  I have one more treatment and a follow up.  Hope this works.  Insurance does not cover this.

Jana and I then went to Cracker Barrel for lunch.  Next was Hobby Lobby for some t-shirts, then Winn Dixie for a few items Jana needed.  I was going to get gas but it was raining too hard.  I hate to drive in the rain, but we made it safely.

Continuing on with 2020…..I will be replacing my two living room chairs this year.  The side of one is definitely broken and should fall off soon.  The side of the other one is getting loose and they both crunch when they are reclined.  I am having problems with my kitchen stove, my refrigerator is making funny noises, and my dishwasher needs TLC when using it.  Now for the golf cart.  It will not charge.  Kevin thinks I may need “some” new batteries.  They take eight and are a lot more expensive than car batteries. 

I called the plumber, and he is scheduled for tomorrow.  The ATT guy is also coming tomorrow to see what can be done about my internet.  Not sure what I will do if they cancel my service.  I have been told if it cannot be fixed easily it will be cancelled.  They are not longer servicing this area.  I will not get HughesNet.  Kevin has that and does not like it at all.  There is no cable service out here so that won’t work. 

So far we have had 3-1/2 inches of rain.  We are supposed to have more rain this afternoon.  Could be a few storms with thunder and lightning.  I just hope it is over by suppertime.  We have Bible Class tonight, and that’s at St. Patrick’s in Phenix City which is about a 45 minute drive in good weather.

We had another inch of rain.  It was not over by suppertime.  However, we went to Bible Class anyway.  It was white knuckle driving all the way.  Class was just as big this week as last week.  Most of the people live close to the church.  By the time class was over it was just a misty rain, so I stopped and filled the gas tank.

No one from AT&T came to the house, but they must have worked on the connection at the pole because I am back up and running just fine – so far.  That happened this morning.

The plumber came this afternoon.  My toilet is cracked and every time we flush it the toilet leaks.  It is also leaking from the bottom which could be the seal.  They will be back tomorrow to install a new toilet.

Yesterday I embroidered two more t-shirts for a gift.  I still have one sweatshirt and two t-shirts for Jana.  Hopefully, I will get them done on Friday.  Then I need to get started on some quilting that I have been putting off.

Well, the plumber did not come today.  Due to a miscommunication I thought he would be here at 1:00 p.m. and he put down after 1:00 p.m.  Since it is getting so late in the day I told them to come tomorrow, but put me first on the list.  We shall see.

Oh geesh! Your life sounds like mine! Not good. Glad you made it with your driving to Bible class. I hate driving in the rain too. Hope all of your other household woes will improve.
