Mission Accomplished

Jul 10, 2010 10:01

T and I drove to NJ yesterday evening with minimal headaches from traffic jams. There was a slight delay getting into the Holland Tunnel going there, and there were no delays getting home. We were able to get everything loaded into the car with little trouble and lots of laughs. It was great to see Mom again, who gets along just fine with T. (I ( Read more... )

Bias is allowed. :-)

Did you get it from Ikea? The other chair was broken, so we need a second chair to match.

You have an OTT light, too!

I have two table lamps, both from Verilux. They are WONDERFUL!

I think I had a flexible neck table light, or maybe that was my MiL's. I have a floor lamp with flexible neck, which MiL Edna uses to get more light on the table for her watercolor students. Overhead lighting is wrong color and much too faint for painting. She also has my HappiLite at the other end of the long table to cast natural light there as well ( ... )

I don't remember how I discovered full spectrum light, but I'm a believer in it, now. I am convinced it helps me deal far better with the dark, cold days of winter. I have full-spectrum CFLs in our bedroom's ceiling lamp, and I've taken the shade off the lamp to give us the full effect. The bare fixture may look ugly, but the light is great.

Glad youre feeling better, thee is something in how adding a new piece of furniture can really "settle" a place down.

I'm seeing that...and how discarding something which has served its purpose and then some can cleanse the energy of a place. I discarded both overstuffed, run down easy chairs over the weekend, and I am very pleased. The air feels better in the apartment, especially in our bedroom, where the worst-off chair used to reside.

I'm sorry for yr loss...

When my mother died she left hundreds of vinyl LPs behind -- this was the music i grew up hearing. And I kept the LPs for years and years, but then when I left CA I had to dump them. It made me so sad...

Was reminded of this when you posted a picture of yr uncle's LPs. I wish you joy as you listen to them!

Thank you, very much.

Because of my mother's religious beliefs, I did not get to hear most of the music in my uncle's collection while I was growing up. This is a wonderful chance for me to catch up on what I've missed.
