Refreshing for refugees from ebbing sunlight.....

It's amazing how narrow the margin is, between too much and not enough light-- at least for me. In the summer I craved shade-- for FS but indirect light. Now, though, I had rearranged the LR for the winter configuration, but adjusting/buying/reallocating the extension cords for the DVR, etc. were such a pain that I left the sun-bulb extension cord out of the mix til "later." The playroom where I exercise the dogs, convert tapes, and organize music books has a bulb, but Sadies' toes had gotten too long to get traction on the treadmill, and after I got them clipped the schedule knocked out the AM time I'd been enjoying spending sitting in front of the warm subn-bulb out there..... all I was getting was the bulb next to the puder-- but I've been cutting down on puder time to save my eyes....

Of course I got sluggish and snarky; at the same time I'd increased a BP med that was ALSO making me sluggish and snarky. How the heck did I think I was going to evaluate the BP meds' effects if I didn't ALSO keep up the sun-bulbs?!?!? Obiviously my thinking had already been affected.... thank God Hardi can fit into spaces I can't yet, to fish out and hook up extension cords. :~)

Wakee wakee.....
