    Good morning. The snow is supposed to start right before I leave for work. It might be a tough day for commuting.
    Good morning, hitt:) Our snow is tomorrow and they are saying 7-8 inches. UGH

    Good afternoon random folks. I had the electrician out today. Yep, those lights going out were a symptom of a bigger problem. The breaker box is too small for the house and the breaker switches are too small. I need a whole new, larger breaker box or I'll just have more problems. The wiring in the whole house is really too light, but that can't be helped. The breakers overheat and they should trip, but dont. I'll need a surge protector as well. Bottom line, $2500-$3000. The electrician will go over all the fixtures in the affected circuit and replace the breaker box and install the surge protector, probably early next week.

    Sorry, expensive repairs, right before Christmas.

    Misty had an anxious time today. First, I had her in my arms when I went outside to meet the electrician. She's never been outside not in her carrier except as a tiny kitten. Then, she was nervous about the electrician being in the house, being not used to people other than me. She had her apple cart all upset, but she's fine now. She's napping.

    I’m not sure exactly how much we got but it looked like about 4 inches on top of my car when I left work. The drive home wasn’t too bad. I always take the longer route home that’s all city streets instead of getting on the highway with the idiots when the weather is bad.
