I guess I’m just a plain old regular lucky guy . No .. I mean it. Right now I’m awaiting the delivery of a new washing machine only 24 hours after its predecessor spun its very last spin . No one else in town could get me one within 6 days except Lowes and Lowes tracking tells me Miguel the delivery guy is only four stops away . Feeling lucky however doesn’t stop me praying to Christ that this doesn’t turn into one of my usual stories …
I don’t know if you’ve ever been married to a Colombian woman who’s feeling poorly or not but I certainly do know that I have . At the risk of generalizing I will lay claim to what I believe a simple fact of experience . If she feels poorly then by God it’s important that you do too. Like yesterday . And feeling poorly was just the tip of the iceberg as half way through her all day slow cook South American bean recipe our wonderfull 24 year old Crock Pot decided retirement from service needed to be right then . In failed attempt to smooth things out I ordered a new slow cooker from Amazon to be delivered in three days before beating a hasty retreat to garage.
Six minutes of joyous lonely bliss in the garage where the washing machine resides and I suddenly stood mid stream like a Northern trout fisherman as the fluid contents of a once operational washing machine headed for the door and the non fluids remained unfinished. A quick online search showed Lowes to be my only saving grace with a chance at one with in 24 hrs.
I guess I’ll head out to the garage now to await the arrival of Miguel the delivery driver ….
or maybe another story to tell
