The Wild Wild West got to my Monday!

What a day, what a day(Monday). It was not how I planned to start my week. Firstly, it was cold, very cold. I normally love it when it is cool, but this was cold! And winter is only starting! Discovered a tiny little mouse in my house! I hate mice! It is oh so very clever - this little mouse in my house. I will have to deal with it soon, very soon.
Firstly, David called me highly upset that I have given him the wrong details for his bank account. He was worried that he would not get his very fist paycheck because of that. I tried to fix it for him and then got the info that his account was actually ok, only the branch code was wrong and that it did actually not matter as our bank only needs the account number.
Then I wanted to change a lightbulb as we have a very long corridor and it can be very dark at times in it. As I stood on the ladder changing the bulb, I thought I was doing a good thing. Far from it. I switched the light on and "Phooogh" was all I got. Then I realised that all the lights throughout the house was out of order too! I phoned the Electrical company and they came to fix it. Remember the "Phoogh"? Well, that bulb was dead, I thought it a good idea to borrow one from another lightfixture. As I tried to unscrew the bulb, everything in the house just died. I caused the electricity to trip. At that time the big TV and the computer was running. I freaked out - did I burn their circuitboards, are they ok? What if.....?
Well, the maintenance guys fixed it.....I think they could see the tears were near and that I was stressing out. We had lights again. Wonderfull!
Today (Tuesday) was strangely less stessful, but very busy. Our furniture (from 23 years ago!) came full circle and is back with us again. It is damaged, dirty and in need of tender loving care.
Our security cameras were set up and I can see around my house without going outside! It has 4 cameras and I see in technicolour with sound! Wow! As I am alone at home during the day, I do not have to go outside to investigate a sound or movement....I can do it from the inside!
The lightbulb episode.....today they will come and put extra lighting in my corridor so that I can have LIGHT!

Well, so far so good. My day is better, very cold, but better. I can hear the thunder rumbling outside, so I think it is going to be a VERY cold night toninght. Brrrrrrr
