My lunch break pretty much stunk...
I went home to see Harlowe, which was wonderful.
I heard a loud noise at home, and thought someone had tried to get in storm door but it was locked. I looked and couldn't see anyone. Then I wondered if the noise came from garage, maybe something hit it?
And when I was trying to leave, the garage door wouldn't open very far. It was jammed up. And it was hot in there! 90 degrees outside...I was trying to manually get it open so I could get my car out, but it wouldn't budge. Adrian was gone. So I texted work to say I was temporarily stuck. Eventually Adi came home, and he was trying to get it open, to no avail. Then the poor guy jammed his thumb in it. Yikes...it's a Monday!!
We tried a few different things until we heard something again and realized that the spring had busted. So, I had to take Adi's truck back to work. Garage door company can't come until tomorrow late afternoon. And it's going to be at least $250.00.

Urgh! You'd think they'd have some sort of emergency manual dingus to at least open the door to let a car out. I hope your Monday improves from here on in.My lunch break pretty much stunk...

Thanks, Holiday!!
The game is canceled tonight and it has been pouring all afternoon. I am looking forward to a relaxing night at home.
Sorry to hear you had a rough night with your Mom.Good morning MMC! A late check in from me. I had mom last night & she was a little stressful!
We had a good weekend. Busy! A little fun, a little stress... LOL! Talk about grumpy people for family pics!! We better not have to do that again for several years!!
And here it is, Monday already!! I hope everyone's day is off to a great start!!!
Hope you are having a good Monday!
Great pics!! Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you, Merry!
They do have the emergency cord, but because the spring had busted, it wouldn't allow it to work properly. Which seems counterproductive!
The good news is that I just had Adi pull out our home warranties on it, and this is covered for the garage. Halleluja!!
And now they can all of a sudden come today

Funny, you'd think since it was "on the house" they'd let you wait instead of suddenly being available today!
They ought to provide some sort of emergency secondary spring, at least enough to open the door fully one last time before it's fixed. Supposing there were an emergency and someone HAD to get their car out? At any rate, I'm glad things are working out in your favor.
That's what I said to Adrian!
Maybe they have certain contract requirements with our builder. Adrian also made it known that I work in construction and real estate. Maybe that helped.

You’re just having terrible luck lately. I’m glad it’s going to be covered though!! If you just would have went shopping...Lol!!
Hope Adrian is doing okay!!
It has been frustrating lately!
True...but then it would've just happened to Adrian, or myself tonight!
Thanks, he says he's okay, just a bit sore.
Absolutely beautiful pictures
tbutler, thank you for sharing a bit of Christmas fun in August
Ouch! Plantar fasciitis is MUCH worse than what I have. Are you able to get any relief? I had a heel spur a loooong time ago and I remember struggling to walk after any period of time off my feet, especially in the mornings. Foot pain is no laughing matter for sure.
Morning MMC. Our never ending humidity continues. We have more rain forecast today. At least this may help the color of the Autumn leaves. That's definitely something to look forward to. I read we may see some good color this year. That would be nice. Have a great day today!

********** MILESTONE DAY **********
Good Morning, Holiday Hopers.
And where there's the count, there is always hope of reaching that long-awaited and much-coveted destination.
Today's numbers continue this hope, and we present them with pride:
Days to the Season: 91
Days to Christmas Day: 133
But there is excitement crackling in the air today, for this is a MILESTONE DAY, Folks.
We have arrived at the 3/4 point to the Season!!
Now, it just does not seem feasible that we are already entering the fourth and FINAL quarter of our long journey already.
I had better check the chart twice.
Hmmm.....
It appears to be true, alright.
W-O-W!!
More rain, yesterday. Heavy at times. Clear in the afternoon.
Today is supposed to be drier, but I'll believe it when I see it.
We again starting out damp and overcast this morning, at 70 degrees here in the capital city.
Have a Terrific Tuesday and a Merry Milestone Day, Everybody!

We had some terrible rain/downpours last night and they say we may get the same today.
Just typical work for me and I am going to catch up on laundry tonight.
Hope you all have a great day!

Good morning MMC!! Merry Tuesday!!! Not much up today besides work. Tonight we are meeting a new lady possibly interested in helping us out with mom. Looks like it will be another warm & sunny day!! I did get my favorite lighted pumpkin out last night. Since it's getting dark earlier, I thought it was time!
Everyone, have a great day!!!
