The heat and humidity have dropped to a more tolerable level today which is putting me in a good mood 😁. It went from the 7th circle of hell to the 9th circle over the weekend and it was just awful, so the drop is most refreshing.
As I have well documented how much electronics hate me, there is a new little twist to this evilness. On Saturday, I pulled out the old riding mower and (thankfully) got the yard taken care of. I parked it outside on the lawn so that I could finish with the weed whacking and clean the debris off the mower before I packed it in for the day. I complete all my tasks, put my tools away and jump on the mower to start it up. I turn it over and it does it “attempting to start” noise and I realize I forgot to push the choke. I push up the choke, turn the key and nothing. No sound, no lights, no gauges registering – just nothing. My neighbor came over to help me push it into the garage and figures it’s a fuse, because of course it is 🤦♀️. So, I am going to attempt to replace the fuse myself. Just me and You tube 😆! I’ll let you know if I succeed 🤞.
Then today, I went to turn on my bedroom tv as I was getting ready for the day and nothing from the DISH receiver 🤦♀️. It was fine when I went to bed and somehow this receiver has disconnected from the main receiver in the overnight hours. Thankfully it wasn’t that hard to trouble shoot but it is a sign of a darker force at work 👹👹.
That darker force? Working just fine one minute and crapping out the next. The electronics are now openly taunting me with their evil nature. So now I have to sage anything with a power source or a computer chip so that I can drive out the gremlins that have attached themselves to my home electronics. I will not be defeated (insert maniacal laugh here 🤪)!
And since these kinds of things happen in threes, I wonder what next on the list 🤔🤣.
But it is a beautiful day and I refuse to let this disrupt my zen. And on a half glass full thought, the auto parts store is just 2 minutes from my house, so the mower should hopefully be an easy fix. Gratitude acknowledge 🙏🏻😊.
So, what water into wine moment will you acknowledge today? Give it a shot and see if it doesn’t help your spirit feel lighter for the day.
Note: I think I may have overdosed on the Olympics a touch last week. But I’ll do a brief summary of my thoughts tomorrow 🙃. Also “crapping” has made the list of no no’s for Word 😜!
