One Thing on Top of Another

DO NOT EXPECT ANYTHING OUT OF FIO TODAY. She has lost one of her expen$ive orthotics, her computer is running s-l-o-w, she didn't sleep well last night, she has a nasty headache, and she's still dealing with the insurance people after geting sideswiped on Williams Drive on Tuesday as she was trying to get to Starbucks to meet with friends who never showed up. To top it off, the hot water heater has been out for four days, ever since the big storm

P.S. The plumbing guy just left. After searching for almost an hour, he finally found the heating system hidden under the roof in a little box, and it was fried, fried, fried. Yes, the lightening strike did it, but he told Fio we should have gotten the system checked once a year, which we never knew. Cost to replace? He guessed $10,000.

Fiorella is still in shock. Maybe we don't need a heating system in the house after all.

P.P.S!!!!!! After crying a lot, trying to busy herself with cleaning up the bathroom laundryc., Fio decided to come downstairs and watch some 9:00 TV, only to learn that THE TV HADN'T RECEIVED ANY SIGNALS IN MORE THAN AN HOUR. When the plumbing guy took apart the old heating system, he must have ripped up the TV sytem! That was when Fiorella started screaming.
