Gah

 I did a fix it today

    We have a cordless vac that hangs on a charger.  The charger was coming off the wall.

    I used metal anchors that expand to anchor it into the drywall but the upper anchor gave way.

    Of course, I could not find another anchor ( first trip to the basement) at home.  Then I wondered why I didn't screw it into a 2 x 4 in the first place.

    I made a second trip downstairs and got my stud finder.  No jokes, please.  It is a simple stud finder.

    Found the stud but realized I needed a pilot hole to put the screw in.

    Went downstairs (third trip) and got my stud finder and drill bits.

    By this time I have been "at it" for a couple of hours.  First, my battery was dead in the drill and had to be recharged/. Then I discovered I did not have it plugged all the way in and it was not recharging.

    So while it was recharging I took a short nap at about 1:15.  Wok up really refreshed at 3:30!!!

    At least the battery was charged for the drill.

    I finally got it remounted, into a stud. 

    Then it hit me.

    I did not go into the stud originally because the vacuum is in an awkward place, one where people could hit it.

    With that realization came the "piss on it I am done" moment.

    If I hit it, so be it.  I will remount it again.  

    And again.

    And again.

    For the first time in I don't remember how long we went an entire weekend without ordering take out food!  We had some frozen Malnati pizza for supper and it was pretty good.

Peace and Love

This little plant is not ready to give up!
