With Thanksgiving over, we set about ringing in the Christmas season. And we love Christmas.
L-O-V-E Christmas.
So we hauled out the tree, added some lights and a snowman to the house, and listened to Christmas music all morning. Joshua started feeling pretty sluggish, and by 12:30 he was sleeping on the couch under a blanket.
1:15 rolled around and you guessed it - he woke up with fever. So off to the hospital we go.
And if I could vent here for just a moment. We moved into a house built in 1957 about a year and a half ago, and we love it. It's a great house in a greater neighborhood. But moving in, we got a home warranty protection from America's First Warranty cause we knew some stuff would break.
Well, last Friday night the heater went out. It was blowing, but it was blowing cool air. So we called the warranty company on Saturday morning. We didn't hear anything back until Monday, when we learned that apparently they "misplaced" the work order. A technician came out on Monday and said they had to order a part for the heater.
Tuesday came and no part.
Wednesday no part.
Thursday was Thanksgiving.
Friday, no part.
This morning they told me it would be Monday before they could come. That's 9 days without heat. Now I know I don't have much to complain about given our status in the world at large, but man - I am upset. I can't help but think that going 9 days without heat might have contributed to my son going to the hospital. I've had several "fun" conversations with the warranty company already this morning, none of which have been even close to satisfying to me, especially since this is the 4th service call we've put in about the heating / AC in the last year.
So any chance there's a high level exec from America's First reading our blog? If so, boy - I'd love to grab about 10 minutes of conversation with you.
Hopefully Joshua won't have to stay overnight. We'll keep the blog updated...
