Hanging By a Thread

Or in this case hanging by a wire.
The other day my daughter noticed the light over her bathroom sink was detached from the wall and hanging. She tried to see why and if it was just loose and could easily be screwed back in place but nope.
So, I'm waiting for my son to come today to see what the problem is. It's really weird that all of a sudden this huge light fixture which goes across a double sink and above a huge mirror came loose.
I feel bad that we had to ask my son to come as he's in the middle of being swamped with his own work and leaving for vacation on Tues so they're trying to tie up everything they can before they go away.
Why does stuff like this happen when it's totally inconvenient? Gotta love good old Murphys Law.
Meanwhile she can't use the light in the bathroom and has a big comforter covering the sink so if the light fixture falls it won't totally smash the sink and create chaos with shards of glass all over the bathroom.
I'm just hoping it's nothing complicated and that it just need to be reattached. Otherwise he'll have to take it down and come back after vacation to put up a new one.
So, that's my Friday so far.
How's your day going? Anything fun planned for the weekend?

Just now
I am enjoying my day working at home sharing news stories and completing surveys waiting for the cable company representative to come tomorrow to repair the streaming channels on the televisions so my relatives and myself can watch streaming shows once again.

I hope it's something easy for him.
The light over our kitchen sink is hanging by a wire, too. I've screwed the fixture back in but then the light won't work. I NEED that light when I'm washing dishes so I let it hang.

How odd! I’m glad it hasn’t fallen yet, and that your son at least has a chance to fix it.
Nothing much going on here this weekend. Hopefully, I’ll be at church Sunday, but that’s probably it. With 100+ temperatures, I’m perfectly happy staying home in the air conditioning.
Have a great weekend, Beautiful!

That is kind of weird. I hope your son can find the problem.
