the Christmas tree up and decorated. I did. A few sections of lights didn't work so I added more. I have a whole section out now. I'm furious. I'm mad because I can't add more lights without undecorating a large section of the tree and so far, I haven't found an easy fix. Let me clarify this. I'm not furious about having to take everything down, that irritates me. I'm angry because now I'm on the mend and I shouldn't be doing that. I went to the trouble of getting it up and going before surgery and now it wants to crap out on me. That's why I'm angry.
One of the pre-lit strands has a few bulbs out on it but I think the main problem is the fused bulb, according to YouTube. The base on that is longer so my regular replacement bulbs won't reach. I also learned on YouTube that a lot of the newer trees make it so you can't replace just the bulb. I tried swapping out a bulb from a new strand into the fused base but that old bulb isn't going anywhere. I just had an idea though. I think I'll swap a few of the fused bulbs around to see if anything changes. Maybe that's not even the problem. Wait. You know what the problem is? A pre-lit tree. This is my last one. As much as I hate stringing lights on a tree, I hate this predicament even more.
I'm about to need a Coke.
I did accomplish something yesterday. I made breakfast, lunch, and dinner. That was a first in a while. I also cleaned the kitchen, did a little laundry and made the bed. I had a sore incision last night but took ibuprofen and went to bed. My goal for the week is to make all/most of our meals. Wish me luck. I'll start with breakfast. I'll eat my breakfast and try to focus on all the things I can do as opposed to the things I can't. Oh, and isn't it funny how my brain picks now to decide I need to pressure wash the front porch? Typical.
Ugh. I'm going to go take out my frustration on breakfast. A little emotional eating never hurt anyone, right?
