Changes
Day two (three?). People have been around all weekend so today will be my first day alone here. Saturday night Clayton, Mary and Luke were over until god knows what hour of the morning. I was a lot less social than I could have been but I just wanted to be alone and to figure out how the hell to live alone. I’ve always had her to support me, I guess I’m starting into a withdrawal of sorts.
Anyway, Sunday Luke was over most of the day and we just kind of lounged around which was nice since that morning I scrubbed the bedroom and the bathroom down as well as the kitchen. The house is getting there. More vacuuming to do around the house and the ‘den’ that I lived in for a few months is in serious need of love since there are piles of my things in there.
In other news we switched most of the house over to Compact Fluorescent lights over the weekend. It cost us about $40 to do it, but they are all 26 watt bulbs replacing mostly 75 watt bulbs. The light is a much cooler white (6500K rated) so it looks somewhat industrial in here, but we’re getting used to it. It’s starting to seem more like daylight the longer we have them. I don’t expect HUGE cost savings on the electric bill, but every little bit helps. Mixing the few regular bulbs left (in the living room there are two lamps which the CF bulbs won’t fit in) with the CF lights seems to help cut the industrial look a lot, and we still get the benefit of the energy savings.
Pictures of my mostly-cleaner room can be found, as usual in the gallery.
