Okay so, I got something worked out regarding the lack of functioning plug outlets in my living room
I plugged in several extension cords from my kitchen so that way I could stay in the living room (I don't have my own room and I much prefer drawing in private) and plug in my drawing tablet.
I was reluctant to do this because having multiple extension cords plugged in is considered a fire hazard, but screw it, I wanna get back to drawing.
