Today my furnace is broken.
This is inconvenient because it is BLOODY COLD outside.
Another half hour passes by, another sweater goes on.
All this furnace fun has reminded me of a father moment, which are surely my favourite type of moments.
SCENE: Speaking with Heather about my day
Larissa: "Today my dad put holy water on me."
Heather: "Hahaha what the hell, why?"
"He got it from some highschool leadership conference. I was sitting in the kitchen and he was talking about what he should do with it: take it out to the lake, or leave it at home. I encouraged him to take it to the lake lot."
"Naturally."
"... and then next thing I know my back is WET and its COLD so I scream."
"Hahah."
"...and then I yelled 'IT BURNS, It burns!!'
I don't know if he got the joke."
Becky says I have a hard time recognizing what is funny to everyone, and what is only funny to me.
ONWARD:
Today my car wouldn't start. I was supposed to meet with a client at 8 AM sharp today, so naturally it doesn't start, when I wake up early to specifically ensure I get to work on time.
I didn't succeed.
And the client spent an hour telling me to never get married, anyway.
Well, first he asked me if I was already married. I scoffed and quickly told him no;
How old do I look? Me, married? Yeah, maybe to the Man Tracker, but that's it.
He looks at me,
"Is there something wrong with your neck? Why are you wearing a scarf?"
What?
I tell him nothing's wrong, I'm just cold.
Pause.
He giggles!
I bet he thinks I have hickies. >:(
I bet he thinks I am an un-married, hickied, young HOOLIGAN.
And the furnace blows once again! I must cuddle with the heat register.
