For Those Of You Keeping Score...

Just when you thought it was safe to breath.  With happy thoughts and delusional optimism I greeted the new day with hopeful bliss as I delved into the pile of repairs after putting the finishing touches on a gorgeous vintage Raleigh conversion.  Just as I put wrench to bolt on the first of seven bikes awaiting my tender ministrations my phone rang.
As usual I read the caller ID first (always weeding out telemarketer calls) and my hopes for a productive afternoon were dashed as I read "Dunedin Middle".  My stomach immediately tied in knots I answered with my traditional "what did he do now?"  There was a barely audible chuckle as the nurse informed me that Kaleb had taken a bad fall in gym class and twisted his ankle.  Quickly I shut up for a few minuets and shot down to get him.  Once I saw the size of his ankle I knew he had to go in.  So we spent the last 4 hours sitting in the ER to find out that he had a major sprain with the possibility of a fracture. 
Somewhere the cosmos is kicking back, popping the top off a cold one and having a good little chuckle at our expense.
Sheesh!
So I apologize to all the folks who brought in repairs today but looks like I'll have to be breaking our "same day" service rule this time around.
Sorry!
