RIP

We knew it was coming but we didn’t expect it so soon. Sure, the keypad was quirky and it made me hit "compu cook" every time I wanted to use it, but I just thought it was being tempermental. I didn’t know there were serious issues. I didn’t know it would be leaving us so soon. . .

It is with great sadness that I tell you that our microwave is dead.

Of course our microwave is dead, because the day before we go on vacation is a wonderful time for an appliance to die on you. Any showings this week will see a non-working microwave and our disclosure statement that once had a few things on it such as "quirky keypad," needs to be redone since now it is virtually spotless, as we’ve continued to replace and upgrade anything that goes wrong.

Did I mention we lowered our price this week? Do you realize I now need to buy two microwaves? I need one for this house and one for the presumed new house if this place ever sells. I’m sensing a trend.

New carpet for the current house; new flooring for the new house.

New microwave for the current house; new microwave for the new house.

New kitchen floor for the current house; new kitchen floor for the new house.

Freshly sanded and stained deck for the current house; no deck for the new house.

Wait, something doesn’t feel right here.

When I leave for vacation, I am going to do my best to completely forget about anything happening beyond the shoreline.

Dead microwaves this morning and a visit with the surgeon in just a few hours. . . can’t wait to hit the beach.
