I was sitting in the family room when the heating and air conditioning specialist arrived.
- I told him that if he needed anything, I would be working in the family room.
I was going to let the door open so I could hear him. He quickly smiled and nodded, then headed into the basement to the oil furnace room. About many hours went by when I heard him talking. He was busy telling the oil furnace that if it loved him, it would do what needed to be done. Everything went quiet, and I looked to see if the cable was on, however it wasn’t. I was sure I hadn’t heard what I thought I had and went back to work. I often talked to myself when I was working, especially if I was having a problem deciphering a new recipe. I was a caterer and did most of our prep work at home, then five hours later, I heard the heating and air conditioning specialist talking again. He said that if the oil furnace loved him, it would do what it was supposed to do and not give him any more problems. I was quite anxious about having him in our basement, and I was alone in the house. When he had the oil furnace repaired, he came upstairs, and he was all smiles. I asked him if everything went well with the oil furnace repair. That’s when he told me it would not have taken as long if he hadn’t been talking to his daughter and trying to convince her to go to university, and I was sure she would do well on her test. He said he always had problems with her when she had to take a test.
