Just when you think it's all easy

Yeah, so just when you are all "We are headed/heading out of town and taking it easy..." You get the call from home that the heat is out.

I guess the good news is that we were making this trip in stages, so Brian is still home to be the lucky one to come home to no heat. Or we'd be coming home to burst pipes. But yeah, the house is 55 and the pilot light is out. And the forecasted low is -5 tonight.

And the "emergency" number Brian called can get someone there in 24 hours. Thanks, St. Paul Plumbing and Heating, but no thanks.

Oh and have I mentioned my poor mom has come down with a horrible flu and is spending the night in the hospital 25 miles away? She is ok, but has had a horrible 36 hours.

Is if 2010 yet?

Man..."I'm soooo sorry" just isn't cutting it anymore.

Hope your mom is doing OK...that's just not a fun way to start the new year. And I just love utility companies and their idea of emergency response. Despite all that, Happy New Year! Hope it's a good one!

Oh what a bummer! Here I was jealous of your post from the north shore, then I read this post. I hope your heat gets fixed and your mom is ok.
