My computer/office kept blowing the breaker last week, until finally it blew the power source on my computer – who knew that adding just one more charger to the power strip could cause those kinds of problems – I sure didn’t – but I did learn my lesson: If the breaker keeps blowing – unplug some stuff to avoid further problems. Good advice!
But now, I’m back up and running – with new electrical circuits in the house, my office and the kitchen have been put on separate circuits, and they added a third breaker so that I actually have two whole breakers for just my office – I should haven’t any problems plugging everything in now!
My computer also has a new power supply in it, despite the fact that I’ve already picked out a new computer that I plan on buying as soon as I get our taxes done, and make sure that I still have enough left in my business account to afford the new computer, but I’m not too worried. I always over estimate what I should owe on taxes for my business, so that there’s very little possibly come tax time, that I wouldn’t have enough! Better safe than sorry!
Now that everything is back to normal – well better than normal actually, I realized that all the posts I emailed in last week, are stuck – because my cron jobs weren’t going through for some reason. I’m slowly working on getting them to show up, when I have a few free moments between dealing with all my client’s problems that cropped up in the last week.
Although, I do feel like I lost a week of work – which I pretty much did, I did enjoy my new books immensely. I read the whole set, and a few of the short stories in under a week. So, some good did come out of it!
Besides reading, I also did some research on how to treat acne for my son – his face is slowly starting to clear up a bit, and we’re hoping with long term treatment it’ll get a lot better. Maybe now the braces and glasses won’t be so bad? I doubt it….
I thought I remembered your hubby was going to get a new computer cause you did something to his? If so, if my memory is right; you’ve really been on a roll. Not a good one. Sorry for your troubles; but glad you’re back up and running.
We blow a fuse often when we vacuum. I think the simple solution to that is to avoid it…lol Hubby’s not in agreement with that plan though. lol

I applaud your memory!
Yep, just before Christmas, I spilt (with the help of the dogs) a glass of chocolate milk on his computer, and ruined it. But my desktop was scheduled to be replaced this spring even before this happened, I’ve spent more time fixing it lately than using it. So we’re getting ready to order two new computers, a desk top and a laptop here in a few weeks. I can’t wait!
I wouldn’t have even dreamed of trying to plug in a vacuum on the old circuit here, I’m so glad it got rewired so that it’s no longer a problem. But a little angry too, because the house in only 18 months old, and already we had to rewire it? To me that doesn’t bode well for the future. Although it is mostly our fault, it was supposed to be a dining room, not an office with two computers, tons of other electronics and a mid-size chest freezer…
Computers can be a pain in the …. I should know since I do work with them every day and (night sometimes). I just want to let you know that Entrecard has opened for ordinary web sties so my main site no has the widget and I am dropping by your place regullary.
Have a nice week.

Yes they can be! I too am a computer nerd spending close to twelve hours a day on it most days… I will be sure to check it out! Thanks for stopping by!
Did you try a tea tree oil for your son’s acne? That is a very powerful natural oil that helps with acne among other things…google it for more information.
I will have to look into that, I’ve never heard of it for acne before, but I use to use tea tree oil shampoo. Thanks for the information! And thank you for stopping by!
