I
am finding that I draw better in my bedroom. My bedroom has a pretty
nice window which gives me good light and I can set my materials on
the bed and sketch. This is relatively new to me so I'm still
figuring things out. But early in the day I took off and took a
number of images from around my neighborhood which I thought might be
fun and interesting to draw. To be honest I was cramming because I
had not been sketching as I should and tomorrow is class. One to have
at least one hour of drawing I could report.
In
my room next to my bed I have this wooden contraption built by my
occupational therapist kind of a bedside organizer. I really like
it's really nice there's even a spot on the side where I can keep my
hooks and sticks in. I usually keep my cell phone on the flat space
on top of the organizer, no big deal but today and I don't quite know
how this happened but my cell phone slept and fell down that whole on
the side of the organizer which is no big deal really. I really
wanted to get to the drawing so I just left the cell phone in their
for the time being and of course the phone rang and really that's not
a big deal either. Nobody calls me, really except Robo calls but
today I felt I needed to fetch the phone because I was kind of
waiting to hear a call from my brother was coming over to work on my
other power chair. When my frustrations in life is that I tend to
pile everything on something when I have something to pile stuff on.
And so us trying to tip the organizer on its side enough so that I
could get one of my sticks into the hole the pull the phone out. I
should mention I have a power strip hanging off my organizer with
everything electrical on that side of the room plugged into it it
seems. I did not realize but I have a metal device holding up the
power strip and as I pulled the organizer the metal device slid in
between the plug end the year power strip and suddenly a giant flash
occurred in the light above my bed turned off and then I realized my
arm bike no longer function in my clock radio was flashing on and off
I didn't something horrible – – once again.
Finally
I got the cell phone out and filled the whole and it was my brother
who would called so I called them back and he let me know he was on
his way over. Since, my brother is my older brother is a lot smarter
than me in a whole lot of ways. He quickly ascertained that I'd
somehow tripped the breaker (I love these terms). I could not believe
that every electrical socket in the bedroom was nonfunctional. The
bedroom had its own breaker. I should know this stuff but I don't..
My brother said there had to be a breaker box somewhere around here
but we looked and looked and we could not find one. I finally called
Diana the resident advisor. The phone rang and rang and finally she
got on. She sound like death warmed over I felt bad that she let me
know that I indeed had a breaker box and those in the short hallway
from the bedroom to the bathroom. Sure enough there it was. We gone
past it several times and searching for the breaker box but there was
big as Dallas. My brother flipped the breaker switch on and I had
power all through the room !
I
got a little sketching done by the end of the day enough I won't feel
too guilty tomorrow in the class that I audit…
