I am setting here listening to the fans running in the bathroom where the now defunct washer sets and in the bedroom downstairs where the water eventually stopped. Last night the washer float stuck. Since nobody was paying attention, it continued to over flow until Mike went down stairs and found water gushing from the ceiling into his tool box. That got our attention.
I stood in ankle deep water to unplug the washer and turn off the cold water valve. Yes, God is good or I would be a fried tomato today. Now I face a day of dealing with the insurance company and hoping that this can be taken care of in a timely manner. I want so bad to put the little Laugh Out Loud emoji here, because I do not think "over flowing water" and "the ceiling of the basement" an ever be a good thing. It would be nice if it would just dry up and go away, but I hear little voices in my head saying "wet dry wall", "black mold" and things like that. And no where in this scenario do I see the words "timely manner" appear.
But here is the deal, it is what it is. No way around it. I just flashed back to my second husband when I used the words "It is what it is". That hit a chord in his brain that turned him into a raving lunatic, but there in again, "It is what it is." Back to my dilemma. Today is the day I had planned to freeze my Pueblo Chile so I can have lots of green chile when company comes. They count on it. I will see how long the insurance guy takes.
I do have a theory, though. I think dark thoughts draw bad Karma. Rather then dwell on how bad October is, I need to concentrate on the good October brings. First my birthday. Surely I have made someone happy some where and so rather then railing against my birth, I should actually be celebrating. Tomorrow is Sam's birthday and while all my kids have been blessings, he is the man child who will take care of me in my old age. Yes, we will do it that way! I am not going to be sad, I am going to be happy.
I will deal with my brother's birthday in just a couple days and this year I am going to only find good in it. Watch for that one on Saturday. I loved that boy and think of him every day.
Now for good thoughts on the flood of last night. That damn floor was needing cleaned any way and it got a very good cleaning last night! I used all my towels to soak up the water and now have no washer to wash them in, but it is what it is. There is a laundromat some where that will welcome my business,
So I am going to pick up chile's today and deal with the insurance and thank my God above for mopping the floor!
Peace to all! It is going to be a beautiful day!
