On a stormy Saturday night we came home from the gym (pretty wild, I know) and found that Fibi the not-so-wonder dog had peed on the carpet. In the past 2 years she has developed an irrational fear of thunderstorms. If we are home, she feels safe and is fine. But in our absence she freaks out, and it usually results in a loss of bladder control. After cleaning up the mess, I went to turn on some lights and they wouldn’t work. The breaker box had a bunch of tripped breakers and I immediately thought of our entertainment mecca in the living room. 73” HDTV, 7.1 surround sound, PlayStation 3. Upstairs to investigate… The surge protector had pretty much exploded and the outline of the surge protector was singed into the carpet. Not a good sign. Long story short, we were struck by lightning. We set out to assess the damage and started piling things up in the guest room, aka electric-fun-time-graveyard. The results were not good, even the toilet broke! So, now we have started the process of filing a claim with the insurance company and hopefully it will all go nice and easy and we’ll just replace all the stuff. Luckily, it is just stuff and no wonder dogs or not-so-wonder dogs were harmed in the process.
On a completely different note, I completed Jillian Michael’s “Making the Cut” program and I will post my results soon, basically I am ripped.
