Ring Falling


Hello,

Friday at work, Leroy was moving some boxes around. Consequently he caught his wedding ring on some of them and tucked it away in his pocket. He was standing by the open elevator on the first floor when one of his coworkers needed a key. Forgetting that the ring was in his pocket he pulled out his keys only to hear something hit the floor, bounce a couple times down the elevator shaft, before the final thunk. At first he could not imagine what had fallen, but his coworker suggested it was a ring. Looking at his hand reminded him that he had indeed put it in his pocket. They walked downstairs so they would not disturb it if the ring were in the elevator shaft ready to be smashed or pushed further away.

After a bit of searching one of them spotted it lying close to the elevator. It had apparently fallen between the elevator and the shaft and then rolled out before it came to rest. That was almost like an impossible feat.

Just that day we had gotten a letter from the insurance company telling us that we had over paid on our personal items policy. This check is for almost the entire amount of the payment. I wonder if they are still not sure where we live. Before it was stated that we must be insured in the state in which we resided. They had Utah as our address, but we have tried two times to correct that. This letter came here, but who knows what the problem is. Anyway not that it is valuable; it seems we might not have been able to replace the ring with insurance money.

Even though I do not believe in working on Sunday I washed the last two windows. My excuses are, Leroy was home to help reach over the dryer, I had energy, and I wanted them to be clear and clean. It was not hard at all to reach over the dryer so I could have done it on Friday. For some reason we were both tired yesterday and unmotivated.

Leroy made another shelf that was a bit more of a trick because he was using up the end of an angled board. He had to cut a piece and attach it securely to the board. He got disgusted because he broke a drill bit, but it is done now. Small drill bits have had a high casualty rate with all of this shelf making and picture hanging.
