Jinx, Jinx, Jinx

Oh, acursed thoughts. Just the other day I had written that the winter was behind, that the sweet weather was upon us. Well, let me tell you the 50 MPH winds that blew in last night carrying artic temperatures did not seem to be sweet weather.

To top off the jinx, was the fact that last week when it was 75 degrees I shut off the furnace. Well it would not go back on, perhaps the gas valve is stuck, the flame rollout sensor is kaput, or the igniter is something or other. Well , I am pretty sure it is not the igniter because there is spark, but there is no ignition so the valve is probably not opening.

So last night it was back to the fireplace and space heaters, and cursing the cold once again. But it was my own fault I suppose, for I should have not delighted at the demise of winter, for its death was just a bit exagerated.

Have you ever said something that seemed to come back to bite you just a few days later ? I guess that is why we learn to keep our mouths shut and our thoughts to ourselves.
