My chaos corner

 

The chaos you see in tonight's image is what I've done today trying to re-establish connection with my internet and television/ flat screen. This morning when I tried to start my system so I can listen to the morning news and such it was on for just a second that suddenly that whole section of the room was off. I have a lot of devices plugged into a power strip I have secured to my tray that I work off of and I think what happened was a power surge or something came through and knocked everything off the power strip. In an attempt to at least get my flat screen operational again so I can have some sort of contact with the local news and stuff at least visually I unplugged the flat screen from the power strip and tried to connect it straight to the wall which I found a plug that wasn't being used. I tried all morning I moved everything away from the walls much as I could and I just couldn't get the plug into the plug in I even resorted into dragging one of my neighbors over who has really good hand function to see if she could pop the plug in to no avail. It's just these little things that quadriplegia really messes up quality of life. Actually I can't complain too much I do quite a lot with what I've got and I truly am thankful for the options that I have open to me but sooner or later they run up against the wall and I have to ask for help. So this Thursday evening and patiently waiting for my son to stop by and see if he can get some of my things operational. I noticed on the power strip there's a red reset button on the end. I'm hoping that if I can get Marc Anthony to push that little reset everything but of course this is a two-edged sword does this also mean that it will power off again the next surge it comes through it may. I just have to be patient and hopeful. I also have to get on the ball and do some major cleaning and reorganizing this corner as well as a large part of the rest of the apartment. I have my quasi cleaning person maybe coming in on Monday and she'll do a little bit of cleaning and that'll be great but if it's going to do some real deep cleaning and start throwing away a lot of stuff that I've dread along the last couple decades.

In a bit of a side note I might mention I did get reconnected to the internet and at least I'm able to dictate on my various handheld devices around the apartment which saves me having to try to put this stuff on my little cell phone which I must admit was a champ...
