Into the Light

[rolanni]

Today's theme has been light.

This morning, we -- by which I of course mean, Steve -- strung new twinkle lights around the kitchen, and there was much rejoicing.

We also purchased new lights:  An LED arc floor lamp for the living room, which is severely underlit;  a LED desk lamp with a charging port, and three lighting modes and God She knows whatall else, for Steve's office, this wonder replacing the WWII era dual fluorescent desk lamp he's been using since Forever; and an LED so-called full spectrum floor lamp for my office, replacing the three-way table lamp which has been my reading lamp since also Forever, and which does not accommodate the New Light Bulbs.  These delights should all reach us by next Tuesday, just in time for Autumn.

In other news, we're playing catch-up with all the things -- personal, and professional -- that were left hanging, while we were down south, and doing some serious recharging.  It's curiously draining, sitting vigil on a death, even if there are plenty of family in place to help. Tomorrow may include a visit to the ocean, and after that, it's back to work.

Today, I have some pr stuff to do; then I think I'm for the chair and a book, again.  Maybe I can work in a nap, too.
