Broken

The storms we’ve been having lately overnight are intense and make sleeping difficult. Last night was no exception. We awoke to heavy thunder and near constant lightning. The ceiling fan in our living room kept going on since it’s sensitive to power fluctuations. Joe looked out the window and saw that a branch from the tree out front was resting atop the neighbor’s car in their driveway. A walk past the car this evening revealed a dent in the roof. Driving through the street this morning was a challenge due to all the bottles, cans, and even an empty box of Pampers strewn about thanks to it being trash day. Luckily we don’t put ours out until the morning.

I’m not sure if last week’s storms had anything to do with it but our beloved PS2 is dead which sucks since the PS3 doesn’t play the earlier games. Not only that but we had the old school “fat” PS2 that housed a hard drive so it’s going to be difficult to replace. I’m hoping we can repair ours. Maybe it’s just the power supply that needs replacing.

Speaking of repairs, K’s iPod Touch isn’t working. It turns on but the touch screen doesn’t respond. At first she claimed no knowledge of why this “suddenly” happened but then revealed she had it in the bathroom while shaving her legs (because it’s practically attached to her 24/7) and it fell in the tub and got wet. This weekend we’ll be taking it into a place that claims they can repair it. Fingers crossed for her sake!
