He slept and slept and is sleeping again

I do not know if it is the weather or his health or just what, but Bob slept until around 11:30 this morning, then went back to bed before 2:00 pm.
I insisted he eat a snack type breakfast, and then some tea and soup for lunch.
I told him he has to eat or he will be falling again and we cannot have that.
Mostly today is on the easy/lazy side. However my hot water heater pilot went out again. I do not know if we had wind, or what. I now know the steps to relight it.
I hate that the instructions are down so low on the tank. You practically have to stand on your head to read them.
So, because of that difficulty I have taken pictures of it all. I can read the instructions on my phone and find how to set the dial right as well.
Wish me luck, as I prefer not to have to replace the water heater this year as well.

Poor Bob, I think he is just not feeling well and is probably quite depressed as well. I was going to suggest a picture

Well Heather let's hope it's the weather and not his health
He really does have to eat.
Good luck, I hope you get the pilot light sorted and do not need to replace the water heater any time soon

Hope he isn't getting sick.
The water heater might just need a new thermocouple

Best of luck to you and I hope it does not have to be replaced. You know I have had times I am so tired I can hardly move and sleeping more at least for me it has been a way to recharge my energy, I hope that is the case with Bob, blessings to him and you and will put him in my prayers,

Too much danger for me to try it myself. If my water heater pilot goes out I call a plumber to restart it. That way, if he blows the house up at least his insurance deals with it, not mine. 
Good luck. Hope Bob’s feeling better. Praying for y’all!

I hope Bob is okay and the heat is just making him tired.
I had to take a picture last time the water heater pilot light went out and then explain to Pretty how to relight it. I couldn't get down that far and back up again without help. I hope you don't need to replace it this year. Good luck!

We needed to register our new fridge with the company but the plate we needed to read was nearly impossible to get to. I've promised myself I'll write to the company and ask them if it's deliberate so people don't bother to register.

Maybe that nice Mr. fix-it fellow would look at it for you. It would be best to have it checked out and it could be a simple fix. Gas hot water heaters are nothing to mess with, and you want to be safe.
