Wasting Time

I have been tired all day so I haven’t accomplished much. (Examples: dishwasher still full of clean dishes, clothes to be washed, garbage to be taken to the curb.)

I decided to get moving and the filters in my four air purifiers need to be changed so I started. I’d purchased two and they were installed quickly but I couldn’t find the other two which I thoght were stored in my storage room (on top of the cabinets). In the process of reaching for a box I though they might be in, the cardboard container fell apparently hit the electric outlet.

It all checked out, but my wifi wasn’t working. I tried everything and finally called Spectrum, my carrier. They had some suggestions but no success so a service guy was scheduled for their first available appointment on Sunday.

Sure I could survive without wifi for two days, but I wasn’t happy. I was determined and had a few ideas. The lights on the router weren’t lit but the plugs were securely in the outlet.

I took a flashlight and went out to the circuit board in the garage. Everything was ok, but then I remembered the strange circuit breaker over the freezer. (When it’s out the bathroom plugs and outdoor outlets won’t work.) Sure enough, it had popped. The button was hard to get to but when I clicked it, the wifi resumed. If the service guy had tried to fix it, he never would have thought of that circuit breaker.
