October 20 - “Goldilocks”

Chris had her turn in the barber chair. It was after her sleep study, so before she left the house, she washed her hair twice, trying to get the sticky stuff off. It was the remnants of the tape and electrodes they had strapped to her head. She still planned to warn the stylist of what might come out.

 

We did some research on freezers and garbage disposals. Yep. Both have gone out at our house. We’re afraid that things do not bode well for any of our other major appliances, since they were all purchased at the same time, after Hurricane Ike in 2008. In fact the fridge has been refusing to dispense water or ice lately. It’s probably on the chopping block as well. Sigh. Guess our traveling days are on hold for a while until we can get some things paid for here.

 

We made the trip to Home Depot to pull the trigger on the two most immediate casualties. The garbage disposal was an easy find. It was the freezer that took a while. For that much money, we wanted to make sure. They had one that was quite a bit bigger than what we had. Overkill. Another was a little smaller than what we had. I was beginning to feel like Goldilocks and the three freezers. We finally decided on the third option. Just a little bigger than what we had, but it had to be ordered and delivered to the house. It should arrive on Tuesday. That gives us a few days to clear a path through the garage and establish a new format for the room where the new one will reside. Oh … and two years to pay it off without interest.

 

Hebrews 12:11 says, No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.”

 

Father, thank you for the sales guy who helped us get the freezer today.  Please bless him. Amen.
