Fixed, Finally

Fixed, Finally

In case you were wondering, the power company did finally come to fix our power lines that weekend (but only after my husband made himself a “squeaky wheel” by calling again). Then our electrician got to work hooking everything up. It took him several hours, and he had to replace a bunch of stuff, including the meter. Such work and gear does not come cheap. We knew it before we got the bill, and the bill proved it. Oh, well. I’ve gotten so beaten down by the cost of everything lately that this kind of thing just makes me shrug now. It’s not worth the energy it would take to get upset. Bright sides: while the electrician worked, our power was out, and I chitchatted with the kids for a while, which was nice, and then did some reading by lantern-light, plus the new meter looks better than the old gear did.
Our most recent jigsaw puzzle was so hard that everyone gave up on it but me. It was so hard that I hardly knew where to start. It required every jigsaw-solving strategy I had, and it took me several weeks to finish. Now that it’s done, I’m proud of it. It’s a reminder that everything is hard at first, but hard work and persistence win out.
The warmish and rainy weather has brought out the peepers. I want to say that peepers are a sure sign that spring has arrived. But peepers do sometimes get fooled by unseasonable weather. Not this year, I think. This year they seem to be right on target.
