Round and round

Designers hate them.
Homeowners love them.

Ceiling fans.

I don't know about you, but we have them in almost every room in our house. They run year round and they help me sleep each and every night. The hushed whisper of the blades is wonderful, as is the cool It it pushes down into you.

You know what really stinks? When the fan in your bedroom is not working correctly. URGH! It is driving me crazy. "High" is not very high and it is making a crazy ticking sound.

So, this is now things have been playing our for me... I fall asleep with the TV on (because the noise of the TV cancels out the annoying ticking coming from the fan) and then I sleep for a couple of hours. Until, the crazy dog wakes me up to let him outside. I take him outside and then come back to bed and try to fall back to sleep. Most of the time I am able to pass back out. BUT there are those times that I am in bed - just listening to that annoying ticking. Counting the ticking. Imagining that the ticking talking to me. It is making me crazy. (Because anything normal can make you crazy in the middle of the night)

I then head up to the guest room - turn the fan on HIGH - and quickly fall back to sleep.

This damn fan is making me lose my mind and we have to get it fixed. Soon!
