Gaaaa. This electrical problem is going to eat at me until I can get it fixed. Already woke up at 4 am with a paralysis dream, then immediately thinking about the best way to run new wiring.

It is situations like this where anxiety + just enough engineering knowledge team up and make me absolutely miserable.

I will be waking up at 3 am terrified the house is going to burn down. Because I damn well know it could, and make my safe precautions are never going to be enough for the sleep demon. Imposter syndrome = burning to death in my sleep!

Then I start walking through scenarios where my house is systematically torn to pieces so the bowels can be replaced. None of which will hold up because I am half asleep.

Because the knob and tube is acting up/shorting out without flipping the breaker.
