The Inhumanity!!!

As if black fingers and being scared to death with the bang of the prong being blasted off wasn't enough, insult was added to injury (well I wasn't really injured) when I discovered that as a result of of the outlet mishap my dishwasher wouldn't work!!! Oh the inhumanity!!!! I may not have not have been a casualty of the electrical surge but my precious dishwasher was.
To add further insult, however, I discovered that the next morning after doing all of the above dishes.... my dishwasher was up and running just fine. What the what???

But my home was not finished betraying me.... oh no. I went to curl my hair on Friday only to discover that the outlets in the master bathroom were not working. The bathroom lights worked just fine. The lights in the mainbathroom did not work but the outlets DID work. What in the world was going on???

I could go without curled hair though - and have done on many a day. What I could NOT go without was heat. This was my thermostat in the mornings this weekend...
It did not get above 67 as hard as I tried and prayed and wished it to. I normally set it to 73 and am still cold and wearing multiple layers. At 64 and 67 I was suffering from frostbite.

I thought it was a result from my electrical mishap but it turned out with a $75.00 service call later that it was just a dirty furnace filter. Now I'm no longer wearing my coat in my house. Yeah!!!!

My conclusion is that you are a dork. Turn the breaker all of the way off before you turn it back on. Dork! The end. Oh and clean your heater. hahahaha!
PS.. Tell Sheriff Happy Birthday!

That's the crazy thing! I DID!!!! I did the exact same thing that Brett did and it didn't work for me but did for him. The same thing happens with computers...I'll do the exact same thing with the computer to fix it and it won't work but if Brett does it....BINGO. It's fixed. He even admits I'm cursed.
