a bit of the bah humbug

Only because in all my years this is the first... I got my tree decorated and 4 days later the lights on half of the tree quit working. We replaced fuses, the works and nothing worked... sob sob... so I had to remove all decorations and lights and replace them. It was definitely not a fun job. ugh. So that was my Monday evening fun. We'll find out in a little bit if Bruce will be on strike. If so he'll be home tonight and while that is fabulous, earning absolutely no money is not.
