When I came home from my Indiana trip yesterday I noticed an electrical smell. It went away quickly -- that is, I got used to it quickly! But this morning I noticed it again.
I checked around and I thought the hall ceiling light might be the source. I was afraid it held bulbs with too much wattage. So I went to Home Depot and bought new bulbs, stocking up with several boxes for other places as well. I also bought a home theater surge protector, in case the tangled mess behind my TV is the problem. All told, I spent $60 there.
I called an electrician, but they cannot come until Monday. I am on the list in case they get a cancellation. It will be an $89 service call, but they will do a thorough inspection.
While I was out, I went to Aldi and spent $49. And then I went to the bank and got another roll of quarters for laundry.
I forgot to drop off my library books, but I'll do that tomorrow. Since I won't have to get out of the car, it doesn't really matter that I didn't get it done today. I try to bundle errands so that my exposure to other people is limited to one day.
My shopping today brought my variables up to 45%.

I had a weird smell in my house last night. The dishwasher was running and I keep smelling a burning plastic smell. The only things in the kitchen running were the dishwasher, fridge, and upright freezer. I opened the dishwasher and sure enough, there was a plastic funnel that landed in the bottom and was partially melted. Oops!!
