but you can't take California out of the girl. My students used to say things like that to me, "Miss Anderson, you can take the girl out of the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto out of the girl". Man, I hated that expression! But I thought it fitting to tell our latest story...
A few weeks ago, maybe 3 to be exact, could be 4, who knows (I'm suffering from brain freeze, literally); our heater started acting up. Like, running for a short time then turning off, or just making a ticking noise like the pilot was trying to light but just wasn't catching, so I called the repair guy. We usually get our furnace serviced every year, since it's probably the original furnace (ok, not totally true, but I think it's about 20 years old), but this year we hadn't so I was sure that would do the trick. The soonest the guy could come was a Friday afternoon so Adam worked from home that day so he could be there to open the door. The guy comes and gets the furnace working, but tells Adam that it will be about $500 to get it working properly or a couple thousand to replace it all together (his recommendation). I told Adam, since it's running now just let it be and we'll save some money and get a new one in the fall. The next day the furnace totally died. We invested in a few space heaters because I refuse to pay all that money IN MARCH to fix my heater. I mean, come on, it should start warming up anytime now, right?
I woke up to snow this morning.
