cleaning up or putting away stuff. If you are
positive she is snooping, ask her to please
stop because it bothers you.

Martha blows a fuse
Roue 'N
ABOUT
Last Friday night I blew a fuse. What a
finish to a day that had been so humid it
was unbelievable. We had left such
weather in Florida just the week or so
before, but a cool breeze would break the
heat, often - or you would have to stay in-
doors. There was no break here. 1 had a
dozen things to do. Couldn't find the In-
come Tax forms for last year. was sure I
had sent required forms to H & R Block
from Florida. Well, I'll never know, now.
We changed trailers just ' when I should
have been packing to come home and in
the rush - and the heat - for the life of me I
can't remember what was left or moved.
What a terrible experience - what to move,
what to throw. There were things I had
kept fpr years and never found a use for
them.IThings I wanted to give away but
never got around to doing it. 1 envy people
who can keep up with their "homework"
Someone told me one time "Pitch and
Toss, that is the answer, no second
thoughts, just do it." When one had been
brought up to "Waste not, want not" or
"someone might use it, don't throw it
away" — well, you're in trouble, sooner or
later.
1 had fallen asleep while watching the
hockey game. Walt had gone to bed, and
the screeching of that TV wakened me. 1
stumbled over to the set, pushed the 'OFF'
button and everything went black, I just
stood there. "Where is the flashlite - hbw
can I get to the fusebox?" 1 felt my way
with hands and toes to the door - no breeze -
just a big black void.
I knew I shouldn't turn the lights back on
right away - I figured it was an overload
that had caused the blackout. T.V., two
fans, refrigerator and all the lights, that
was it. Now, where did 1 see the flashlite? I
pulled the plugs on the fans, debated about
turning off the frig • was too dopey to just
turn the 'off' switch IN the refrigerator. 1
found the small flashlite - it wasn't behav-
IVith Martha Rethburn
ing very well so located the bigger one, it
was still working. This business of being
away from home for so long, really throws
me.
The fuse box, "down there" is in a closet
just where you can reach it. The one here
is two feet above my head, in a corner and.
impossible for me to reach. Seems most
things are two feet above MY head.
Nothing worked in the fuse box I figured
1 .wasn't pushing or pulling the right
things. I wakened Walt, he had to know the
lights were off since he usually made a
-pit stop" about 4 a.m.,He said he didn't
need a lite, but I left the flashlite, anyway.
1 tried to sleep, tossed and turned.
FLASH, all the lights were on. How Could
that happen when f couldn't turn them on?
Suddenly 1 was wide awake. 1 didn't blow
that fuse - come to think df it everything
had been very dark outside, not a light
anywhere.
That night had been a real experience in
blindness. I had to think and feel and try to
recall where things were located, try to
keep the right direction, I worked myself
out of a couple of corners. I was real proud
of myself when 1 thought about things.
Everything; was so very black, not a hint of
light anywhere I don't know when I had
ever experienced such a blackness, such •a
deep silence. Come to think of it, it, was
real spooky. I'm just glad 1 didn't blow
that doggone fuse!
Love you all
Martha
