I Am Woman... Hear Me Roar!!

I'm feeling pretty awesome right now.  I just fixed our microwave.  No husband home, no one else here to help (unless you count Xander, who was actually surprisingly helpful).

It broke on Friday night and gave me an error message.  Looked in the owner's manual and of course it said to send for a technician.  Yeah, right.  By the time I pay for that I could buy a brand new microwave.

Undeterred, I headed to the internet.  Sure enough, there was an easy explanation of the problem, complete with a video on how to fix it.  So I ordered the part and waited with baited breath.

It came this evening (joy of joys!!  Have you ever stopped to think how often you use your microwave?  I bet it's a LOT more than you think).  So I confidently began the process.

Unfortunately, my microwave is put together differently than the one in the video.  That created a few bumps in the road.  I tried to find a video online to help me with that, but was unsuccessful.  Nevertheless, I eventually triumphed over my microwave!!  I dismantled it without breaking anything, replaced the part, and TA-DA!!!  We have a functional microwave.

See?  I told you I am pretty cool.
