The Odds

So I've been waiting on a plumber to show up all morning. They called around 8:15 and said they'd be here in half an hour. Over an hour later, I'm still waiting. Initially the plan was to finish up some special feature on a netflix dvd we have out so we can return it and get a new one. But when I got the call so early, by the time I got around to actually waiting, I thought he'd show up any minute, and I had other things I could read/do. So I waited. A few minutes ago Ann calls and asked if I'd watched it. I said no because I was expecting him to show up any minute. She said I should still try. I knew as soon as I got up to put it in they would show up. So I was hesitant. But I got up anyway. The world doesn't work like that. Some cosmic force isn't waiting for me to get up so the plumber can drive up.

When I came back from putting the DVD in the player his van had pulled up.

Though...I've had time to write this blog from sitting down until I now see him opening his door. So we are not moving at lightning speed today.
