Every other Tuesday night, my wife and I get a babysitter and we hang out with our friends.
We have a game night with wine, beer, and snacks.
It’s a lot of fun to get together with our friends. Most of them have children as well. Every other Tuesday night, we pick a different place to spend our time. We were on our way to the destination last Tuesday, when the babysitter called. My wife and I have been using the same babysitter for the last few months. The young girl is only seventeen, but she has always been very responsible. When she called, I knew there was a problem and I picked up the phone on the second ring. The babysitter told me that the furnace made a very strange sound and then the heater stopped. I asked the babysitter to adjust the thermostat so I could see if the furnace would come on when the temperature was lowered. Nothing seemed to help, and I tried a couple of additional troubleshooting steps. My wife and I wanted to spend the evening with our friends, drinking wine and having fun. Instead, we turned the car around, called the furnace repair service, and spent our evening worrying about the heating problem. The service technician arrived around 9 pm. He looked at the furnace and determined the issue to be a faulty electric connection. He had the items with him to make the repair, which only took about an hour. Even though the furnace repair turned out to be a small problem, we still had to stay home and skip out on the fun with our friends.
