I feel like I am doing everything by candlelight at night now. We had a lightbulb in our tall light. It lit the room pretty well…till the other day. First, the lightbulb was blown. It was a brand new bulb, so I knew it wasn’t that.

I switched the bulbs and figured I should monitor the light. The other bulb ended up flickering on and off. That’s when I checked the stand. It ended up being so hot I couldn’t touch it without a potholder. I took the bulb out, and you could smell something like it was burning. Lo and behold, the brand new lamp has a short! UGH! Now I have a bulb in the little table lamp that I use to crochet next to. Even with the lampshade off, it still only gives off a soft hue in the living room. Now we are going to have to go shopping. I have already been looking through Kichler lights online to see what I want to get next. Just one more thing to deal with when the Man finally returns.
