Small Miracles for Christmas

When the microwave flashed and crashed,
the little miracles materialized.
1. It died while it was still under extended warranty; not two days later as per usual.
2. DeRay rarely buys extended warranties but he did this time. (Six big bucks.)
3. He actually found the warranty in the files.
4. They emailed the money enabling him to run right down to Wal*Mart to get a new one so Amy’s early morning routine would not be disrupted.

This part isn’t a miracle but sagacious:
Instead of waiting three weeks for some masculine specimen to take the old microwave out as promised, the female cuts the electrical cord off and hauls it out to the garbage herself before Amy gets home and fills the garage with her car. (The garbage can is full for the week with a microwave and dysfunctional oxygen machine, which the adroit female also dumped without waiting for said male to initiate a plan of action--like find the hand truck, roll it out; tip the garbage can on its side; push it in; stand the garbage can upright. In his defense, he did have a bit of surgery on Wednesday to remove cancer on his face--11 stitches.)
