At 4am on Monday morning I stumbled to the bathroom as I so often do in the early morning to relieve the pressure from the previous night’s drinking. No, not that<\/strong><\/em> kind of drinking, just drinking water or juice, but I have a bad habit of drinking something late at night.<\/p>\n

I flip the light switch.\u00a0Five seconds later, in prime blurry eyed target finding mode the light blinks off.\u00a0 I couldn’t reset the breaker\/s at that time because my roommates were asleep and turning off the power (there is no “master bathroom only” breaker) may have turned off their alarm clocks.<\/p>\n

After class on Monday night I came home to try the breakers and discovered that a few other things in my home didn’t work.\u00a0 The dining room lights, fireplace and bar outlets, bar lights and balcony lights are all out.\u00a0 Flipping all the breakers did nothing.<\/p>\n

Unlike my plumbing debacle, I doubt I’ll be able to do this handiwork myself.\u00a0 Electricity is not something I want to mess with.\u00a0 Thank goodness this circuit that is blown (I’m guessing that is the problem) is only connected to non-essentials (doesn’t affect the fridge or my PC or either of the other bedrooms or bathroom).<\/p>\n
