Light’s Out

Boots is Getting More Confident

I took a LONG nap. In fact, I woke up and thought I had slept through the night and it was very early in the morning because it was mostly dark outside, which I thought meant the sun was just coming up. I think I slept about 4 hours. I believe with Addie here for a week, all the cooking and the fall, I needed extra sleep.

My first thought when I realized it was just a little after 5 p.m. was that I’d be up very late knitting tonight. The living room where I sit to knit has a ceiling fan with lights but has four can type lights – one on each corner of the room. I sit in one corner and though I have a good lamp by my chair, I need the light from that overhead can light. I flipped the light switch on, a light burned out and of course, it was that one. I looked at Vince and said “What do we do?” I think this room has 14′ ceilings. I would normally be the one to climb up the tallest ladder we have and change it but my knee isn’t ready for that. Vince said “NICOLE!!” She isn’t here and I doubt she’ll be coming here soon enough so probably tomorrow I’ll be brave, climb the ladder and change the light bulb. I have a feeling Vince is putting different bulbs in all four lights so I’ll get to change them all.

For tonight, I’ll be knitting halfway in the dark.

    Check Amazon. They have something to us to put lights in tall ceilings. It is a long pole with a base and has sticky top that will adhere to the bulb. You can use to take bulb out and put new one in.

      We have one but they aren’t great. We try to use it outside where the lights are like 20′ up but usually end up waiting for someone else to change them.

    Thank goodness my ceiling fan is not up against the ceiling. It has a long pole coming down and it is easy to change the bulbs. I still have to use a step stool to change them though.

      This fan is way up there and it has a kinda weird globe that isn’t easy to get on and off – you don’t take it all the way off so you have to hold onto it while changing the bulbs. Vince said that will be a job for an electrician!
