I Didn’t Make “Good Choices” Last Night 🤪

Ok, my choices last night weren’t inherently bad – maybe just ill conceived 😁. It started while I was messing with my fan light (good choice, you’d think). One of the lights has been flickering on and off since the weekend but wasn’t burnt out. So, I thought “Maybe I should check to see if the light is loose?”. Don’t worry, the lights were off – no singed fingers here 🖐. Also, the fan was turned off, so I didn’t get injured by the blades either 😜. I uncrewed the cap holding the dome cover in place and brought it down to rest on the pull chains (I was not going to mess with taking the nobs off the chain), tightened the bulbs and then it all went downhill from there. First, I could not line up the cap with the threads to replace the dome! I spent ten minutes fighting with the damn thing before my arms wore out and I let the dome rest in the previous spot while I took a five-minute break. And then I looked down 😮. For some reason, it never occurred to me to clean the dome out before letting it sit unevenly on the chains 🤦‍♀️. I was covered not only in dust bunnies but dead bugs, as was the floor 🤢. So, my five-minute are break turned into a cleaning frenzy, lest one of those bugs was not completely dead 😱. GROSS!!!!! And I had to do it twice as more bugs fell during the second (and final 😁) attempt to put the dome back in place (nope – still didn’t think to clean it out 🙄 😆).

With order restored, I settled in for my evening tv programs. First up – Below Deck Med. Relatively innocuous and just good old fashioned, dumb ass drama 😁. Then I switched over to sMothered on TLC (another example of not making “good choices”). I’m not sure why I am drawn to these incredibly dysfunctional shows – something about “hate watching” I suppose. Or gratitude that I have a sane relationship with my mother compared to these women 😮‍💨. And there is one mother daughter duo that well… I’m just going to say it – it’s plain weird and slightly disturbing 😳. But the whole show is like a train wreck that I can’t turn away from 🤷‍♀️. 

Once that was over, I should have gone to bed. But noooo, I decided that watching “Phrogging – Hider in My House” was a good idea. It wasn’t. As a single woman, who lives alone, this is a terrible show to watch!! And, Goddess help me I couldn’t stop myself (🫣🫣). I watched two and a half episodes before I realized how late it was. The stories are frightening and now I feel like I have to check out my attic to make sure no one is making themselves at home up there 😱😱😱. Ok, not really, because a) I’m home most of the time and would hear someone moving around and b) I don’t think anyone could survive the heat of summer in my attic 😆😆. It still worries me a little bit because these “phroggers” are crazy 😬.

So that was my night of bad choices and I’m ok with it (mostly – that phrogging show 😳). I can’t always make good choices but at least I’m the only one affected by these bad ones 😆😆.

Share you “bad choices” in the comments 😁.
