Oy! I just discovered that the power is out in both girls’ bedrooms, but I can’t figure out which breaker is off. When Elen and Sally said their fan wasn’t working, I figured the fan was shorted out, but Anoreth doesn’t have power, either.

Der Prinz isn’t answering his cell phone, and I don’t have a land-line number, because “You can always reach me on my cell.” (Fill in appropriate expletives regarding modern technology and people who aren’t here when the technology isn’t working.)

If I don’t hear from him about it in the morning, I’ll go across the street or next door and find a man who can fix something. Bleepin’ FReep!

You can try flipping all the breakers on and off....

The tripped breaker is supposed to be in the center position, but a good way to tell is if you try to push the breaker closed and it is a little “squishy”, meaning it has tripped.

Caution: turn off all the lights and appliances in the affected area before trying to close the breaker....the overload may trip it again.
