I Could Almost be Persuaded ~

What is there about losing a person’s energy from a home that causes all sorts of other energy to go nuts?

When Rex died, the washing machine quit, the microwave quit, three months later the water heater died. Dean didn’t die, thank God, and since he has been totally indisposed as far as doing anything physical, the thermostat in his office died completely and a glass table top fell over and splintered all over the deck. 

After the first two days of using a space heater in his office, it no longer matters as the temperature has risen. He can purchase the new thermostat later. I called a friend to come help me clean up the glass because it really was a two person job ~ although, bless her, she did most of it. I’m just sort of waiting to see what happens next. The accident happened just as the summer work around the house was beginning so even if nothing else happens, it will take friends and hired help to get some of the work done. A friend read Dean’s statement about buying some good bourbon and brought over a Huge bottle of Jack Daniels. About now I wish I were a bourbon drinker.
