Yesterday, some of our appliances started freaking out, including the computers. Turns out,it was an electrical problem. So we called the electric company, and they sent a guy out. He tested, and we were getting only half power to the house. The main breaker is going bad. Why does this stuff ALWAYS happen on Sundays, or nights, when nothing is open???? Since we were getting half power, we had the guy leave the electric on. So we can run some lights, the tvs, computers, fridges. But we have no heat, no hot water, and the stove doesn’t work. We had to move the plugs for the fridge and microwave. We haven’t had heat since yesterday morning. When I got up this morning, it was 62 in here, and 52 outside. So I’m THANKFUL it is warm outside. If is was colder, we wouldn’t have been able to stay here. It still feels cold in here, and my hands are FREEZING!! But we have much to be thankful for: no fire was caused by out electrical problems, we still have some power to the house, it’s warm out so we are able to stay here, we are all safe, and healthy. This is nothing but a big inconvenience. So this morning, D went and got the part. Something else to be thankful for, we had the money to buy the part. The water bill is going to be late, though, but if I had mailed the check Saturday, like I was going to, we wouldn’t have had the money to buy the part. The eclectrician was here, Uncle D, and left because the electric company is taking so long to come turn the power off. So when the electric company FINALLY comes to cut the power, I have to call Uncle D, back to replace the breaker. Hopefully, the electric co. guy will stay for a few minutes while it’s being replaced. If not, then we’ll have to wait hours again for them to come back and turn the power on. But I’m NOT complaining, see above for the things I’m thankful for. Something else to be thankful for, is that my mother lives across the street, and my inlaws are next door. So we have TWO places we could go if we had to. But we’d prefer to stay here, even though my hands are FREEZING! lol
