Why I love the internet
My brother and I are on our own this week which has been fine. Except a circuit just popped. In the middle of the night. No one to call. Brother is asleep. I'm on my own.
I knew where the breaker box was since my mom has ranted about how stupid it is to be outside, but I don't know how to reset a fuse (as evidence by me not really knowing what the actual word for it is.)
I went out into the rain, cold, dark, and wind and tried to figure it out. I didn't fix it. I was pretty sure I found the problem switch, but I couldn't get it to work. I thought it might be broken. I gave up.
But then I went back out there and googled the issue on my phone. I fixed it. I got the answer with minimum searching and I have my space heater back.
It feels good that I didn't have to be the girl that dragged someone out to do it for me, and that It's fixed with no real fuss. Plus, now I know how to do that!
All thanks to the internet.
