My morning was so busy today that I forgot all about posting a blog post. I just remembered now and have nothing since I am dead beat tired. But I can explain how I forgot and why. My morning was full of trying to figure out an electrical problem I encountered when with the new hall bathroom ceiling vent fan. This old house is not like the modern homes where the wiring is much easier to understand. Yet I tried and for almost a day and a half I was baffled by how i couldn't get the spark I needed on a circuit for the fan and heat lamp to operate.
Early this morning I was mulling it over in my head and after trying many permutations of how the wiring should work it dawned on me that the power source I was trying to start from was the switch from the light fixture. It wasn't a direct power source like from an electrical outlet that is on a loop from the circuit box. this light switch was just a loop with the light fixture. So I had to go into the wall and find an outlet from which I could attach a wire directly back to my switch. I did find one real close and after cutting some sheet rock back to expose the outlet wiring box I was able to rewire my new ceiling fan/ heat lamp and get the fan working.
All of that while I was scheduled to cook the big breakfast this morning. So just as I put sheet rock back on the wall, for mudding in a day or so I was right into the kitchen working my breakfast magic. Which was how I was able to forget to get my blog post written. Because it is my habit to write my posts first thing in the morning with my first cup of coffee. But that didn't happen this morning and now just as I was about to turn all the gadgets off it dawned on me that I hadn't written a word yet. So getting this done right now is just a testament to my ability to push through the sleepy eyes in my head and get something down that isn't kin to absurd. :)
