yesterday. . . .

Yesterday started out not the best day. Middled not the best. And ended NOT the best. 

The day started with February 3rd~ That says it all to begin with.

The middle stunk! Sad to say, but we lost our Doctor yesterday to a two year battle with cancer. And what a special man he was. Please keep his family in your prayers.

And the end of the day didn't go out any better than it came in! Jessica called at 11:30pm. Her furnace blew up. Yes. . . . you read that right. Big flash. Loud boom. Smoke. Black everywhere. Stunk of smoke. Her landlord wouldn't answer her phone. After several messages Jessica and Christina went and knocked on the landlords door. Nobody would come to the door. Then she calls Jessica. "Jessica are you at my door? We thought that someone was trying to break in." Oh come on! Sure! I ring the doorbell right before I try to break into your house. Get a life! . . . . . So, obviously nobody is coming to look at the furnace during the middle of the night. Christina goes to her boyfriends and Jessica goes to Gabe's. 

Jessica is now driving to Gabe's house. 1 am in the morning. Going 30 mph in a 40 mph zone. Got her seat belt on. Marley is in her crate in the back seat. Jessica turns left off of Gage Blvd and turns into the outside lane. And what happens? She gets stopped. Gets a warning ticket for an illegal turn. You turn into the inside lane. Duh!

At 4:30pm today her landlord calls her at work and says she now has heat. They got it fixed. Jessica goes home after work . . . . turns the furnace up because it is cold. And what happens AGAIN? Sure enough! This time the whole house shook and the windows rattled. Pretty sure the problem is bigger than the furnace. She calls the landlord. . . . .and nobody answers. We have now decided that she is NOT staying there in the cold. The last she looked at the temp it was 60 degrees.

Right now it is 11pm. Jessica and Marley are spending the night in a really nice hotel with a beautiful view of the Capital building in downtown Topeka. And on the funds of her landlord. (Who STILL has not called her back since this happened at 6:20pm)

Our advice to Jessica. . . . . Go to BED! And get up on the OTHER side!
