Walking down the stairs...

Let me share a little bit about living in my house. My room is nice, though when I come in from outside I feel that I am entering a cave due to lack of sufficient light. It is nice for when I sleep because it is nice and dark :)plus if I keep my door closed my room stays nice and cool after I turn my Air Con off. Air Con is what they say here for Air Conditioner and I like the shortened version better.

To get to my room I have to go up stairs, which isn’t something new. I grew up in a house with more stairs but there is one small difference…no carpet and the steps are taller/steeper. Thus as I start to bound up the stairs, as I would at my parents, I have visions of my foot slipping and face planting into the concrete. I imagine trying to put my hands out to stop my face, my knee coming down hard and having to limp around for a couple days.

Now take all of that and let me share about the lights in the house. You turn on the switch, nothing, oh wait it flickers on and then back off. Nothing, oh…second time flickering, a bit more on and off like a strobe light…and then success!! The light is now on. Great process when you turn on the light to walk down the stairs...Never mind that I feel I am in a cheap horror film and close my eyes so I don’t feel ill from the strobe light effect. With each step I pray that I don't face plant and fall down the stairs. I think a video is appropriate for this post :)
