R.I.P. or maybe not ???

After a day of running between two cities fabric hoarding shopping for odds & ends at the fabric stores, I came home in a great mood. The sun was shining, the roads clear of snow & even the gas prices were excellent. Got the fella off to work and I washed/ironed fabric and got myself organised for a night of sewing napkins. I had ironed down the seam lines for 10 napkins and cut out several other napkins in kitty fabric.

 Then, I went to plug in old Mabel - my work horse Singer 201-2!! OMG - nothing. Over and over, I unplugged - replugged, jiggled the wired to the extension cord - we are a nob & tube house with one electrical outlet per room - can we say joy ;-(....and on & on - nothing!!!

During my outing I had consumed two store bought coffees with high fat cream and sugar in them. With the 2nd coffee I had a cinnamon bun with glazed icing. While trying to revive Mabel I had gotten into the sugar crisp cereal to console myself and calm my nerves! I was on a freaking sugar high from hell!!!

Sheer panic set in over my Mabel not working. I was in melt down mood in a bad way. I pictured myself clearing all table tops in the house with a clean sweep of my arm......not good.

With a large drink of water in hand, I headed to the TV. About the only thing I could manage was to plunk my arse down and watch some mindless show. Normally I would had a cleaning frenzy - that wasn't any where on this radar screen.

Hours passed and the fella returns from work and I warned him about the other sewing machine in the middle of the living room floor - don't fall over it. ROFLMAO - I had dragged the Singer 15 from it's hiding place in the corner and attempted to use it. Not a good idea - I want Mabel, and only Mabel. Not my aunt's singer - named Priscilla - gawd!!!

So......this morning, while in the shower - I can hear the fella banging around. WTH?  He had been running up and down the stairs getting electrical stuff and checking out Mabel. OK.....!!! I start to supervisor and after about 10 minutes I mention that I usually test the foot pedal when the light doesn't go on.

Did I mention that ???? Did I do that last night????

The light bulb was burnt out. I have nothing more to say except a quote from Forest Gump.....Stupid is as stupid does.........
