My Vacuum Mechanic and Old Man
A few days ago my vacuum broke. When I would push the power button it would turn on only if I held it in. As soon as I let go of the button it would turn off. So yesterday I asked Jeff to fix it. He went over, looked in all the hoses and the bottom and said, "I don't know, its not clogged." I just look at him like, that's it, that's all you got? I mean, how does he expect me to vacuum? So I guess I was looking a little, annoyed, b/c next he said, "Well, I'm not a vacuum mechanic." Well, that made me laugh, never heard of a vacuum mechanic. So I rolled my eyes, sat down and started to look at the vacuum myself. See, this is how you get your man to do the work, act like you are going to fix it! After watching me for a minute he says, ok, let me look at it again. Well, he broke out his screwdriver and took apart the handle and some how fixed it. I couldn't help but get a smirk on my face. I said, "So you are a vacuum mechanic!" We both started laughing! So, thanks to my hubby for fixing my vacuum! ;)
Lately he's been complaining about his side hurting, down near his ribs. Then a mysterious rash appeared. I immediately thought of shingles b/c my mom had it and I remember her getting a rash, although her's was on her temple near her eye. And I remembered our pastor in the Azores having it on his stomach area. Well Jeff and I started laughing about him having shingles b/c its a disease for older people. So I had a good time calling him an old man last night and he jabbed back at me b/c of my back problems. He always likes to call me old b/c I'm 6 months older than he. Today he had a dr appointment to have his rash and pain checked out. Guess what? He has shingles! I can't believe I was right! So my man really is old! ha ha. Please pray for him that it will heal up soon. I guess he's been under a lot of stress and so that is what brought it on.
I love my vacuum mechanic old man. :)
