Murphy's Law - "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong"
Today was another one of those days. I woke this morning all energetic after a good night's sleep, ready to do some more yard work. If you are a coffee addict like me, the first thing you do when you get out of bed, is make that pot of delicious wake up caffeine.
I'm one of those that you don't even talk to me until I've had at least two cups of coffee. Well this morning, I put my water in the teapot, plopped it on the stove grabbed the lighter, turned the knob to high, and proceeded to light the flame. And nothing.. okay, it's an old butane stove that was all rusted before my landlord painted it..so I tried another burner.. again nothing..My first thought "oh crap, it must be outta propane". I checked the tank and sure enough.
Okay, what now. I have to have my coffee! Next I go out to my grill and yep, it was out of propane too. Then I remembered I had this under the sink:
Please God, don't let this be empty too! Thank God it wasn't! I finally get my water boiling, pour it in the French press. Yes! It's almost coffee
I decided to make some breakfast as my helper was due to be here around 9 am. I go to the fridge to pull out some eggs and decided I better check the propane because Where we go one, we go all.". Yup, it was empty too..
Okay, take a deep breath and pour your coffee, go sit out on the deck and savior honey sweetened creamy cup of pure goodness..then drive to town to get your butane.
I finish my coffee, throw on my jeans, drive to town, get to the propane place and the gate is locked. It was 8 and sign said opens at 9 am. I drive to another place that sells propane and they don't open until 10 am.
Next I go to the bakery down the street to get some lillikoi malasadas and a couple of their delicious to die for bread pudding made out of sweetbread, coconut and raisins. And yes, they were out of both but they were cooking more. So I got a couple of other flavors of malasadas. Fortunately just as I was about to leave, they brought out the bread pudding!
I finally was able to get my butane and came home, got the tanks all changed out, ate a malasada and the decided to go heat me another cup of coffee. I tried to light the burner. Nothing again. I had forgotten to turn the valve on.
From there you'd think it be all over, not. After working back and forth in house and yard I was ready to relax a bit, fix me some lunch and then move some tools to storage. I go to the fridge again and that is when it hit me, I had forgotten to light the pilot on the refrigerator.! Thank God I had frozen items that were pretty solid keeping everything from defrosting.
It's all AOC and her squad's fault! I think she's put a curse on me because I agree with Trump! And besides, I'm kikin back in Paradise and loving every minute of it, so it was just another beautiful day for me!
Every day is an adventure when you live in Paradise!
