When It Rains, It Sure Pours

Since Dad's bypass surgery, we've had more than our share of malfunctions and breakdowns here at The Compound.  Here's a list:

1. Two days after Dad came home from the hospital, the microwave started smoking, so we had to buy a new one

2. One week after Dad came home from the hospital, the furnace went out.  Luckily, it wasn't too expensive. 

3. On the same day that the furnace went out, we were in the middle of flooding in Louisville, and had to deal with some water in the basement.  Luckily, it was from our usual leak and not a flood.  

4. Two weeks ago, the freezer crapped out, and we had to buy a new one. Once again, lucky for us we only lost a couple grocery bags full of thawed-out food.

5. Last Tuesday, the toilet clogged and overflowed.

6.  Yesterday, we discovered a leak in the bathroom.  

Stay tuned.
