While we were all still stockpiling toilet paper, and I am so very appreciative of that necessity, along with paper towels, rubbing alcohol and chlorine bleach, my concern is shifting.

The paper towels are now my hand towels in the bathroom, and in the kitchen are in regular use too keep things more sanitary there, as well. This from a person who likes to use cotton and linen hand towels and kitchen towels as a matter of taste, and a hope to help our environment. Now it has condensed down to wanting to help myself stay germ free. I figure I am part of my environment.

As time in captivity has worn on, I am finding I need more light bulbs. I burn more lights more often and for longer times. I want brighter lights, and whiter in certain areas like my painting studio. I want more, but softer and pinker, in my bedroom so I don't feel so wan and bleached when I look in the mirror. Sheltering at home has driven me a little colorless,

So comes the adventure of buying light bulbs. I am not looking for just the standard 60 watt soft white, Those seem a little yellow to me. I look jaundiced in their light, it scares me at first, upon a glance in the mirror (laughing). I don't think specialty light bulb stores are essential businesses. Help.....

Those who live in this house with me will be glad if I indeed choose to apply the precept, " Be of good appearance. It sometimes does not occur to some individuals- as they do not have to spend their days looking at themselves- that they form a part of the scenery and appearance of others." L. Ron Hubbard, from "The Way To Happiness". Proper lighting is my only hope....
