Thursday's Trials

I did get some rest knowing, I suppose, that I didn’t “have” to wake up for work. I posted the Blog entry and then watched the morning news. It will be cold overnight (single digits) and for the next four days. But, it’s nowhere NEAR what my daughter Amy and her Carl’s will be facing (highs just in the single digits!) Believe it or not, they will be colder than my friend, Canada Cathy, will be in Alberta, Canada!

After the news was over, I went back to bed (why not?)

When I woke up, it was after noon, so I ate my brunch (is it “brunch” after noon – the question remains) of the leftover pierogies.

Then I went out to the garage and tried to swap out the old breaker with the new. First, I couldn’t get out the old breaker. So I used my channel locks and literally destroyed it. Then I couldn’t get the new one installed properly!

I worked on that sucker until the light started fading. So, I left it out and turned the main breaker back on.

Unfortunately, this meant no plugs working on the kitchen sink backsplash, no wash machine and the garage door opener was not working. I ran a 100 foot extension cable from the back room to the garage door opener so I could get to work on Friday.

Then I reset all the electric clocks. Unfortunately, I neglected to reset the alarm setting on my bedroom clock.

I ate leftovers for dinner and watched some TV before going to sleep.
