Let There Be Light…

Yet another example of how the seemingly most simple tasks can render me worthless. I have been showering in the dark for 4 days now. I am embarrassed to admit I don’t know how to change my lightbulb. No, that’s an incorrect statement. I know how to change the lightbulb. I just don’t know how to remove the globe without breaking it, I don’t know what kind of lightbulb to buy, I don’t know where to buy it…

First mistake – trying to remove the globe while standing on the toilet. My apartment is part of my compensation package. Read into that – not highest quality. My toilet seat is made of flimsy plastic. So as I was standing there, holding on to the globe, trying to figure out how to remove it, the plastic gave way, slid to one side and sent me reeling into my tile wall. Ow.

Second mistake – pulling the only chair I have into the bathroom and standing on it. My lone chair swivels. See ending of mistake number one.

I am an independent woman. I have never asked for help to do any household tasks. I own my own tool set. I have painted houses. I have cleaned gutters. I have mowed lawns.

And today, I called my friend Sang Jae. Please come over, it’s important. “Another contest, Rori?” No, *really* important. He arrived, saw the situation, said he would take care of it. I arrived home tonight to light. Glorious, glorious light.
