"Electricity."

"Electricity."

'And God said,  let there be light and there was light. But the electrician said he would have to wait until upcomming Monday.'


I came back from a nice short evening out last night, (Harbor fest) and saw there was no electricity in my room, only the light worked. The fridge was out, and my computer battery didn't load. I checked every socket in the room, but none worked. I was wondering what it could be, I went to the neighbors to check if my computer battery would load over there, and it did, weird. So, no one in the building had a problem but only my room had no electricity? My fridge started to leak cause of the little freezer inside the fridge, I putted towels on the ground for the night, and took out some of the food what could be taken out. 


I went aswell to the night-shelter, there right beside the Humanitas building. They help us out when there's a problem in the evening or night when the staff has left after 5:00. One of the staff members took me with him to the little mechanical room inside the building to see what could be wrong, we saw that the problem right away but we couldn't fix it, there was oblivious a 'short sircuit,' but what caused the short sircuit? We tried everything, we thought it was the little fridge and aswell my wire for the laptop. My wire for the laptop has a travel adapter. We couldn't fix the problem and gave up. "Tomorrow morning Melissa will come, and I will inform her, she has to call a electrician," said the member of the night shelter.  Melissa works in the weekends at Humanitas. 


I informed Melissa after I woke up around 7, I slept well but I missed the sound of the fridge, LOL! (I like to hear little sounds in the middle of the night when I sleep)  Melissa laught cause she told me that she's really not a electrician and asked herself why they would depend on her, "Let's have a look," I told her. But it was the same as last night, we aswell couldn't find the solution what caused the short sircuit. "Take out all of your plugs and let's just wait an hour, and if nothing has changed we will call the electrician," said Melissa. "Alright." I thought. After an hour still nothing, Melissa tried to find the phone number of the electrician but it was hard to find. I letted it be and went to one of my neighbors to use my laptop and relax. 


Suddenly a resident stormed in the room, she was sent my Melissa. She told me that she found prolly the short sircuit problem. It was the washing machine on section green who caused the problem. The female resident had her wash still in the machine but couldn't get it out, the washmachine door got stuck. We pulled the plug out and I tried again if I had my electricity back, and YES! I had! The plug from the washing macchine will stay out untill up comming Monday, on Monday they will call the electrician to fix everything. Melissa told me that electricians are expensive in the weekends. It was fine with me, I had my electricity back. 



Today was a easy day aswell, only I felt tired and felt so now and then a little pressure on my chest. It could be the thyroid, I hope the new medication does his work fast. If I had not the electricity problem I should have gone with a few residents to help out another resident to move. Actually help with laying carpet with three other people, I was glad I couldn't though, I wasn't feeling so well. So that was good. Last night I went out with some other residents to the harbor fest in the city, it was okay, we had a good time. (See pictures) I can say we have a tight group at the moment, we visit each alot, and so now and then we have some time on our selves. It's all good,we get along well.
