my new beginning was almost the end

In thinking about the theme for the week - I decided to focus on the randomness that is my life... I often get into quite bizarre and often hilarious situations. So this week I will share some of those.

I am not sure about most people but for me I don't recognize that I am "in a funk" until the funk has almost passed. So I am beginning to feel the funk lifting. In the meantime a lot of things have not gotten the attention they deserve, one of those things being my home. So in an effort to have a first step, I decided to work on the light on the front steps. It had been out for some time, and I figured I would just go ahead and replace the bulb before I head out. Seems easy right? 

So I get the light bulb from the cabinet. I get to the light and realize the switch is off. So I am thinking, is the reason there is no light because the switch has been off - all this time? At any rate I flip the switch well the bulb was not working. So I unscrew the old bulb and beginning to screw in the new bulb. As I screw in the new bulb I notice a few sparks. (In my mind I think - oh, this will go away if I continue to screw in the bulb!) Well the sparks stopped but the popping and buzzing and smoking took its place. I almost electrocuted myself! This LNC would have been taken down in the prime of her life. So I flip the switch off grabbed my keys and got the hell out of the house. I couldn't take the pressure.... lol.

So now I am back at home, my front steps are still dark, but I have a good story to tell.
Maybe that means the rest of the week will be smooth in comparison.
Here's to wishful thinking,
