I have a new game for you all. It’s called “Choosing Clothing by Flashlight.” The winner is the one who is able to best dress herself despite being unable to see most of her clothing choices in the dark.
\nFirst you need a walk-in clothing closet, which has no windows. Rules allow for lights and\/or skylights in the adjacent room. You get extra points for dressing correctly on an overcast day, and more points if you dress before the sun comes up. You loose points if you end up mixing navy blue and black.
\nThe light bulbs in my closet have been flickering and failing to light for weeks. Every couple of days, I talk with Dear Husband about the difficulty of choosing clothes in the dark. My youngest sister, bless her heart, came to his aid and suggested I take a flashlight into the closet with me. (sigh)
\nWe’ve been in the house 17 years. It’s more than possible we just need to change the light bulbs. My friend, Midnight, tells me that it could also be as simple as a starter needing to be replaced. He described it for me, and I’ll try to see if that could be the problem. Failing that, the ballast has gone out. DH tells me we have a spare ballast ……somewhere…..
\nMidnight has been counseling me to do the repair on my own, coaching me on what to look for, and telling me how easy it is to replace. I think he’s planning to become a marriage counselor in another life. Personally, I think this is a GUY thing…..one of the few indoor things that shouldn’t be my responsibility!
\nSign up for the game in the comments, and I’ll get back to you on a start time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
