Yesterday was one of those days where everything went wrong. It started out when I was walking from the train station to school - a pigeon flying overhead cut loose and hit the down jacket I had just washed on Saturday. One of my classes was taking a test, so naturally public transport almost came to a standstill because of the sub-zero temperatures, and several kids came too late - I had to pull them out of another class today and have them take the test. Got home, and was informed by my husband that he'd lost his keys.Yesterday evening I turned on my computer and discovered that my virus software, updated Sunday evening, had "eaten" part of my AOL software, so I couldn't go online. "Restore system" didn't work. Installing the software again didn't work, until I deleted all the old versions on my hard disk. I just about got things straightened out when we lost power downstairs. My husband switched the circuit breaker back on, and I heard something "sizzling". So I went into the kitchen and discovered a fire underneath the kitchen sink! Put it out (tip: a fire extinguisher is a must), but called the fire company just in case, and because it makes things easier when dealing with the insurance company. Apparently we had a defective socket. Well, the dishwasher, which wasn't running at the tme, was plugged in there, and the plug had melted.
The good news is: The electrician came first thing this morning, the dishwasher is working just fine now, I found hubby's keys in the front yard, and obviously I have Internet access again.
