When my parents called me at 10 in the evening, I knew something was wrong.
- At first, my mind started drifting into a land of disadvantage thoughts plus possibilities.
When I picked up the phone, I braced myself for whatever terrible news I was about to hear. Both of my parents were on the receiving end rambling on plus on about their temperature control. I couldn’t quite understand what either of them were saying because they were talking over each other in a panic! Finally, I told them to stop speaking so hastily plus tell me in simple terms what was happening! My mom said that their temperature control wasn’t laboring. They were about to go to bed plus when she went to lower the temperature, nothing happened. They didn’t think their boiler was laboring at all plus they were distraught they were going to freeze at evening. In an attempt to keep them calm, I had my dad replace the batteries to see if that was the issue, and he had no idea where the batteries even went plus he was convinced that their temperature control didn’t take batteries at all. After spending 5 minutes reassuring him that their temperature control did in fact take batteries, he finally found out how to replace them. Thankfully, they had the right batteries on hand. Once they replaced them, their temperature control lit up again. I walked them through how to get their boiler back up plus running plus they were relieved. I’m just relieved that nothing was seriously wrong plus it was only a technical difficulty.
