Outlet mystery solved...

-

okay..it's late and to get ready for my diy home fixit task I did a google search on electrical outlets. I was prepping to replace two that are on connecting walls in the living room. While I was reading though fyi's a light bulb came on (in my head) and I thought humm...wonder if the two outlets are connected to the one in the kitchen behind the microwave...All the outlets in the kitchen are GFCI (?) with the red/black buttons. (I think there are 12 in the whole house?, I need to count them again!) I pressed the buttons on the non working outlet, nothing, then I pressed the one about a foot away and it did it's thing then went back to the dead one and it clicked! Plugged in the micro into that one and working!! But not the outlet where the mico was plugged into is not working...pressed the red/black buttons and now it works again. Went to the living room and yep both of those outlets now work!! YEAH!

This house has electrical issues and plumbing issues!! If something goes wrong it is one of those two things! All the outlets in the dinning area are dead till you flip the back patio lights on!! That one even the electrician couldn't figure out..said they were all working fine...(didn't know the back patio lights were on)...he leaves..I go back to sewing...oh wait a min the lights are on outside, better turn them off...huh? My sewing machine just turned off! humm...that is how I found out about that issue.

Don't know where to begin... I'm tired and sore. Today at work (my 2nd day of setting up a new store) I was working in a two person team, setting up shelves. Never mind that I or my Team member never used a hydraulic lift (we learned on the fly). Now the pallet of 13 in wide, 4 ft long shelves stood taller than me and had a slight lean to it. Anyway...I hate when someone asks or tells you something and when you try to answer or explain another person jumps in and sorta kinda chews you out in a nice way...why are you doing it that way?? duh...never mind..getting tired of trying to defend/explain myself to this person. So just nod and look dumb.  Someone else jumped in and moved the pallet across the store for us. Thank you! I really don't know how to explain the next of what I saw.  Here is the picture...74 year old woman on her knees putting together endless wire baskets, putting in the dividers etc. She also has osteoporosis. This woman usually works ...

My Dad - Birthday and Surgery

Today is my Dad's 85th Birthday! Had carrot cake with his breakfast (he loves carrot cake). DoB July 24, 1934   He is doing well. No Rx pain pills since yesterday morning. 2 extra strength Tylenol are keeping pain away. Keeping him hydrated. He had first glass of Kevita Sparkling Probiotic (Dr.s orders). Not a fan, but will drink it. Says the bubbles are weird. HATES yogurt of any shape or form. Doctor also wants Dad to drink lots of Gatorade but mix with water (watching the sugar content). Dads likes the Gatorade/water mix. Dad has been good about leaving the bandages on his head alone. I see him start to touch it then he quickly pulls his hand away. There is a little fresh seepage today.         Another note: I purchased a "baby" monitor. Dad's voice is weak and very hard to hear him. What is nice about it: 2 parent monitors. I can leave one plugged in and take the other outside with me (still Sun drying laun...

Working out but not...

-
The past three days of work have been hard on my body! But I have noticed muscles I didn't know I had! From the cutting samples of the home decorator fabrics one day. The next two days was to tackle 70+ pallets of fabric boxes, some stood taller than me! By the end of the 3day (yesterday) we had all but 2.5 pallets done! What do you think I did today on my day off? Only the basic minimum. Feed dogs, dishes, laundry, put the garbage cans out for pickup tomorrow.  I did catch up on some reading and made it to the Dagot Season of X-files. Took a long nap!! Almost time for ibuprofen and a big glass of ice water! ok..now the news of the store. I found out yesterday that the OTL is no longer there. Third person told me, that she quit. I thought something like that happened when I saw that another OTL from a store in the Sac. area is coming up (till the DM decides what to do). I have been told that maybe I will be offered my position back. I highly doubt it but if I was, I do...
