Something bad has happened.

The lights in our bedroom, hallway, kitchen, and study won’t turn on.

Last night, while Katie was unplugging her laptop charger, one of our fuses blew. I tried replacing the fuse, but when Katie unplugged her cell phone charger from that socket a few minutes later, there were sparks from the socket and the fuse blew again. This time, replacing the fuse did not restore power to the lights in that part of the house.

To top it all off, we even bought some wrong sized fuses at Home Depot earlier tonight. Luckily, I managed to make it to a different Home Depot just before it closed and exchange them for the right size. Still, no luck. It appears we have some actual electrical problems.

So…we filed a claim with our home warranty tonight and a professional will be calling me soon. Hopefully, it won’t take too long or be too dangerous or anything like that.

Fingers crossed. Let’s hope no one gets electrocuted and that our lights come on within the week.
