I was at church Sunday morning selling some nativity sets. (The proceeds will go toward the new CDC. Typing it out, though, I feel a bit like a money-changer in the temple.) Anyway, Harold and Beth told me that a friend of theirs was locked out of her car. They would need my burglary kit! I wasn’t quite understanding what was wrong with the car, but I thought they said her key wouldn’t work in the door, and said I’d be over after I was done. While the time passed, I googled alternate methods they could try. As it was, Sam was able to get in… through the trunk.
Hee hee! Kudos, Sam! I’m glad they figured it all out, but I was even more glad when I realized that one of the google fixes that wouldn’t have helped them, definitely helped me! I haven’t been able to lock my truck for years because the locks are stuck. First it was the driver’s side, then the passenger’s. If I wanted to lock it, I needed to leave the back window cracked so I could crawl in. The video said to spray your key with lots of WD-40 (I had silicone spray) and keep trying the lock. Spray, try, spray, try – it worked! I am so happy!
But, things can’t be upbeat for long. It started to rain a lot in the evening, and even more as night approached, and when I walked upstairs to bed I got rained on. Our roof doesn’t just have one leak – now it has two.
DANG IT. Somebody remind us this spring that we need a new section of roof.

Ugh. My back porch roof is in terrible shape right now. I need to have it fixed, but there is so much phone-calling and appointment-making involved. This is a time I would love to have a secretary or personal assistant. I think if I were rich, that would be one of the things I would spend my money on.
I love your title.
Deborah says
I agree with you, Brad. I need someone to do all the calling and be at my house to let the workers in. Most people don’t work after 6 when I’m home.
Deborah says
Just noticed the title. Very nice.
Sherri says
We got a new roof on the school in August…however, tell that to my classroom which has leaked everytime it has rained! On the plus side, I got to teach my kiddos the phrase ‘Kick the Bucket’ when one of them punted it across the room accidently the other day!
Lauren says
I forgot to write back and tell you that is hilarious!
