Fun with fuses

I don't like it when the throne room goes dark- not even my glow lights on either. It happened 3 times tonight too! The first time it happened, Whitney panicked a little since it was so sudden. I, of course, thought it was normal since I get left without lights all of the time while Whitney goes to class, but that's during the daytime. Whitney went to the stairs to see if the rest of the house went dark, but since it was just the basement she realized it was just a fuse. 

I figured it was the fuse after I realized that the washer, dryer, and my TV were all on at the same time. I rarely have my TV on (read: I haven't turned my TV on since the Hail Mary replay last football season so it was set on ESPN), I figured it just over taxed the circuit. I was able to turn the bathroom light on (thank goodness!) and pulled a chair into the bathroom since the fuse box is above my eye level.

I helped! But apparently almsot tripping Whitney isn't really that helpful. 

Not all of the labels made sense, but after a couple of attempts I realized it was the lower right handed switch and- voila!- lights! About 15 minutes later, and at another point in the laundry cycle I'm assuming, the lights went out again. I was able to flip the switch since the correct one is on the bottom, a wonderful silver lining! And then a third time the lights when out, but Zack had gone to a friend's house so I decided to move my study party to the upstairs living room and avoid the troublesome fuse until laundry was done. 

I love the upstairs couch. I have my favorite spot on the couch so I can see most of the upstairs, the TV, and out two windows- the back door and front window. I like the squirrels a lot. But I love when Whitney is upstairs to snuggle with me too! And she gets bonus points if she brings these things called "notes" and "textbooks" for me to sit on. Those are really fun to lay on and sometimes I gnaw on the corners.
