Mar. 21st, 2018 07:16 pmSo to explain my current, at this moment, state of being involves a bit of a story. More then what fits on twitter, yet I still want to say to. To complain really.
My bedside lamp has a 'smart' lightblub in it. Which I admit is rather nice as I can control how bright it is with my voice via Alexa or an app. BUT, the 'default' mode is simply on so that if it loses power when the power comes back the light is on at full brightness. Power losses such as my dog jostling a plug loose. In the middle of the night. Several times. A 840-lumen light shining right in my eyes. And to turn it off I have to come awake enough to use the app or speak clearly. Which is how I ended up oversleeping this morning and woke up late with a headache. And because I overslept I missed breakfast, and by the time I got downstairs there wasn't any coffee left and it was late enough in the afternoon that making fresh coffee was a Bad Idea. I don't need coffee, I thought like the fool I was. Thankfully we had an engine drink tucked in the back of the fridge that was enough to vanquish the headache - I can't imagine how I went through three days of a headache like that in Florida.
I spent my only 'spoons' for the day on washing the dishes as we were three days behind. I hate the feeling of looking at something and knowing if you do it it will be the only thing you do that day, yet also knowing that it needs to be done. Washing the dishes tore up my nails. I hope Chai doesn't repeat his stunt tonight and maybe I can deal with it tomorrow.
