sarahmichelefGood:
My inability to connect to the Internet earlier today had everything with the home network needing to be power cycled and nothing to do with a dead computer and/or wireless adapter.
Bad:
Warning lights galore going off in my car. They seem to be indicating that my backup indicator lights and my rear brake lights are out. We have visually verified the status of the backup lights (they don't work); we haven't verified the functionality of the brake lights. (*wonders* Maybe it's my LIDDY LIGHT that's causing the warnings...)
Good:
If the problem was simply that the bulbs needed to be changed, I now know that it'd be really easy to do.
Bad:
The problem is not the bulbs. I sat myself down in my trunk this morning and popped out the bulb assemblies for both sets of lights. (Yes, I was literally sitting IN the trunk of my car. It's the easiest way to get to the lights. No, the trunk wasn't closed at the time.) There are un-broken filaments galore - four of them, in fact. Which means that fixing the problem is now officially beyond the scope of my automotive repair capabilities.
Good:
I refilled my washer fluid. (Not as easy as you'd think since my car's hood no longer "pops" - you have to release it with the little lever, then wedge a key in the gap to force it up, then find the stupid latch, which more often than not sticks, etc...)
