susandennisJust waking up and knowing no one will be working in my house today is enough to make me wake up doing the happy dance. But, I also woke up to my NPR station coming out of my new radio which has such rich sound that it's like butter on my ears. What a treat.
Then I stepped into the living room and was instantly rewarded by my last minute decision.
When we first started talking lights, I told Sheri and the electrician that top on my list of must have was remote control of the lights. They asked about dimming and I said nah. I'd never had it and so knew I didn't need it.
The remote turned out to be a problem. I'm not sure why but whatever. I realized that having one place to go (instead of the 4 I had before) would eliminate the need for a remote. And, for some reason, just last week, I decided I wanted a dimmer. I can't even remember why I changed my mind.
This morning, coming into the living room and turning on the lights, it was instantly clear that being able to dim them was a way better way to start the morning. Nice, very nice.
I spent a little time last night, getting stuff a little more organized.
And, while I would like everything finished, I'm kind of glad to have a few days off from the work. I'm coming to be fine with postponing everything til Tuesday. By that time I'll bet I'll be all ready to get it started and done again.
I'm turning into a cliche of an an old person set in her ways. hehehehe

Date: 2012-03-16 03:47 pm (UTC)I remember when we did our kitchen remodel and the electrician asked about dimmers and I said no, I didn't really think I would use them. Well, somehow he talked me into them and I am so glad he did. I use them all the time. Sometimes it's just those little simple things that can make us so happy!
Glad you are having such a great day!
