Anew and whew!

Nothing like another home problem to distract you from yourself.
For quite some time our combination Hunter paddle fan/light over our dinette table had one light not giving out sufficient brightness. There are two curly florescent bulbs in each of our identical fixtures, three of those, one in the dinette, master bedroom and also in the sun-room. Our guest room's one was the only salvageable one after the hurricane, and the one out in the Lanai was also replaced, of course.
The first three mentioned all have remotes and are still sufficiently high tech and eco friendly with their type of bulbs that they haven't become obsolete in style or function eleven years later.
So when the one over our dinning table's light weakened Hubby disassembled it to diagnose the problem; after all he had put it in originally after the new roof and ceilings were completed, the fixture that was there had become a water fountain after the hurricane hit, dangerous and scary too!      

Anyway, when he found out the one socket was faulty he called around and found out Lowe's had the ones we needed, he bought two since the only difference was now they would be screw in bulbs instead of snap in, at six bucks for the two sockets not counting additional bulbs, 60w soft whites curly florescent, it was worth the repair.
Even a decade ago each paddle fan/light fixture was about one hundred and fifty dollars a piece, and so it appears that this one should last another few decades, barring any hurricanes that is.

Problem number two:

Hubby's smart phone had been funky while on our last vacation in November for his birthday to New Orleans it kept going into emergency calls only. He would shut it on and off and it temporarily would work. When we got home we called our cell provider and they had him remove his sim card and then reinstall it and again it would work but even since home it has done it, again today! Now the provider had us switch sim cards with each other to verify that is the problem.
So far my phone has been blinking with his in it, and now I have to call myself to get him, confusing!
Any-who, it's just till tomorrow to prove that is the issue and then they said they would send us a new sim card for him if it is the reason.

Busy minds cannot dwell on bad things, hmm?

On that note please allow me to be the very first to wish you a very happy good night and ask you to all kindly count all your blessings and share all those overages with you know whom and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!

PS:The best part about today's problems is that they were very fixable, making them not stressful at all! None-the-less still able to distract me; I'm easy. (But only with some things; wink wink.)

Happy eighth/last night of Hanukkah! Boo Hoo!
