And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Wow that sounds so much safer than the "pry it out with needlenose pliers" method I used last week. (They had rubberized handles, so I did not get electrocuted. For the record.)

I love a natural spectrum bulb. It's about time for all the CFL's we put in when we bought the house to need replacing, I should think about what I want now. LEDs?

LEDs are where it's at. I have weird bulbs in most of my house (expensive-ass 40 floods which are less common than 30 floods) and even the CFLs burned out more than I liked. But Costco had them as LEDs and they've been awesome. And I like the light better than the CFLs too.

The only issue is I replaced a sconce light in my bedroom with regular-bulb type LEDs and they make a weird buzzing/humming noise (that I haven't noticed from other ones) and I can't decide if it's just because it's closer, or if it means they're one day going to explode and kill me or something.

I'm also considering some of those programmable bulbs. Not everywhere, but maybe the bedroom and a couple other places? Maybe.

Programmable bulbs? I know, I could google...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh, it's going to be hot out tomorrow (50s), so maybe I'll try to change the bulb in my outside fixture again. There are these screws that are hard to take off, and my hands got too cold last time...

Neighbors foster kids have been relocated, thank bejeebus. I hope to god their new place is better. Apparently the folks want adopt if custody is given up, so, even if that doesn't happen, at least they actually want them, right?
