So if you read enough of my blog post for the last couple years you will notice a theme that we've had to deal with a lot of home repairs. I've gotten into a bit of a mode where I am just expecting something else to go wrong each week..
Well, one morning my wife was out of the house early and on her way to work while I was still laying in bed. As I lay there, I heard a bird chirping loudly and a kind of thrumming hum. It didn't last long enough then to really draw my attention but then it started happening again and in my semi-foggy state started to think about the sounds.
The first thing that started to come to mind is the heat pump which is right outside the window. I've been waiting for it to go out. As I lay there, I'm thinking it sounds like the compressor wants to start but can't. And what is up with the bird like chirping sound - did something nest next to the to heat pump and is now flipping out due to the sounds or is it the heat pump too?
I'm going to cover my head a minute and find a happy place now.
I finally get up and decide there is little to be done - wait until evening to look at it closely. My son was still around and he commented that mom had forgotten her phone - she gotten a hold of him from work. Anyways, I had an afternoon appointment that I did not want to miss nor did I want to be all uptight from the heat pump issue. Normally I would just call the wife and things would be better - but couldn't that day.
When I went to my appointment, I took my wife's phone with me since I figured I would be pretty close to her work and I could drop it off. The ESL class at church was that evening and I know she likes to know earlier than later if any teachers/helpers can't make it those evenings.
I dropped her an email that I would swing by and when I met her I told her about the heat pump sounds. She laughed a little. I thought she lost it. Then she explained that she kept missing texts so our daughter changed the sound of her text notifications to a chirping bird and left the vibrate on too.
Hm, chirping bird you say? That could sound a bit like a bearing on a compressor trying to go out and combine that with what sounds like an electric motor hum.. and I did find her phone in the bedroom.
Sigh. Ok, so the heat pump isn't going out. It was just her phone.
I did sigh with relief at that point.

30 Then they were glad because they were quiet,
So He guided them to their desired haven.
So He guided them to their desired haven.
