I think yesterday was one of the worst days my wife has had in a long time and a very expensive date to boot. My day started out with a wake-up call from my wife. She had locked herself out of the house and needed a number for a locksmith. After paying him a few bucks to let her in the next adventure began.


On her way to work, she did a 360 in the snow and a police officer stopped her and asked her why she was driving recklessly. What a hoot, considering people were having wrecks and slide-offs everywhere. Fearing for her life, she went to the tire store and purchased two rear tires. Problem solved and off she went to work.

Later that evening she returned home to a cold house. The furnace was broke and when the technician finally showed up, ten o’clock on a Friday night, he decided we needed a new blower. Cha-ching!

All told, it was a very expensive day. On the other hand, I went to the library and spent no money. However, I did answer the phone about ten times during the day and each time it was another disaster. Today she is snowed in and hopefully that will not cost us a cent.
