Dawn's Digression.
Monday, August 19, 2002
It was probably 12:30 before I got to bed last night. I stayed up quite late writing a letter to Michele.
OH, and by the way, that was a dead blue jay I grabbed last night. Yeah, so now I probably have West Nile. I called the city to come pick up the bird. (I saw on the news a week or so ago that's what you are supposed to do if you find a dead blue jay. Specifically a blue jay. The deadliest of the birds???)
Also, I was just getting ready to leave the house this morning when I went to unplug an extension cord that plugs into the light fixture in the bathroom. Well, the extension cord had melted into the socket. I finally got it unplugged, but one of the prongs came off the extension cord and was stuck in the socket. I tried to pull it out for awhile and then realized it was never going to happen. Then I realized I was about to be out of town for a week, and I couldn't leave it like that. Fire Hazard. I called TXU and they were completely useless. They just told me to call an electrician. Thanks. So I called my Daddy. My Daddy can fix anything. He listened to my story, recapped it, and told me just to make sure the light switch in the bathroom is off. Then, he said, enjoy the vacation and don't worry about it because it's fine. Long as the switch is off, we are out of danger. Yay!
