Ok.  I woke up today and worked through my Benadryl coma thinking about the kitchen.  Remember how much we loved what Jarrett did to the outlets and how cool they look?  Hold on to that.

I have a few theories about the enormous amount of 5 day old beans filling up my sink.  First, the GFI button does NOT push in.  I even tried stabbing it with a fork handle this morning – no joy.  That may not be faulty wiring – it could be a bad unit.  I once bought 5 fancy lightbulbs from Home Depot and they were all dead – honest to God, they did not die on my watch.

All the breakers were in the on position.

I have lived with the modern technology of a garbage disposal my entire life.  For some reason, the Indy house doesn’t have one, but that’s not really the issue here.

Approximately 4 times in my life, I have been told to “press the reset button”.  I always say “OK”.  I must confess, I have NEVER been able to find said reset button.  When I think of a reset button, the Staples EASY button comes to mind.  It wouldn’t have to be that big.  However, a small read button surrounded by chrome seems like the way to go.  I actually think it has something to do with that allen wrench they attach to the unit with sticky glue.  However, that has long since become unattached.  So…no idea how to reset.

Could the garbage disposal have died?  Last week, the left sink was filling with water, so I ran the disposal – it drained slowly.

Could the garbage disposal be mad that I’m using the crock that Kaitlin wants me to use for the compost bin?

All good questions.

Here’s the thing – I don’t know who to call first.

And, the flowers in the flower boxes have lost their will to live…what’s that about??  Its June 1 for heaven’s sake, not the middle of August and 105 degrees!

So…new project, I have to redo those.

I’m at work, so I can’t meet any fix-it peeps at the house.  OR, that would give me a great excuse to go home.

Thoughts?
