writefictionOkay. So this is an update to last night's little rant.
I finally did get to sleep, but I didn't write. I got up this morning and ate breakfast and everything. But while watching The Bonnie Hunt Show I fell asleep. Which really made me mad b/c a guy from Brothers & Sisters was going to be on and I don't know which character he plays. His real name was one I didn't recognize.
So just now I finally remembered, after realizing it was dark in the house & needing to turn on a light, that I should probably try to fix the sun lamp. By fix I mean plug it into another socket. We're pretty sure the socket it was plugged in to was messed up b/c no matter what lamp we plugged into it & no matter what light bulb we used in the lamp, they would always flicker and/or go out for a couple seconds to a minute. So I moved some stuff and got down on my hands and knees and moved the surge protector / power strip around so the sun lamp cord could reach it. Trust me, it was easier to move the power strip than to rearrange the lamp and all my knitting stuff.
I'm happy to say that the light is on and hasn't done any weird things. Now I'm going to sit under it and write and I'll let you know how it works.
On another note, I'd just like to say that I'm working on the prompt starting over.
Also, I'm using original characters.
Also, I'm thinking it'll be a short story rather than a drabble.
Also, we'll have to wait and see. lol

Date: March 18th, 2009 07:59 pm (UTC)I have read a couple of your entries about those sun lamps and when I was younger like in my early teens I had depression and acne really bad. My mom bought something similar to those I think. They were two lamps one with a red bulb and one with a blue to simulate the sun's natural healing rays. From what I remember they worked pretty well but I had to sit with them in front of my face for like an hour a day to get any results for my skin. I just remembered that and thought I'd share. I'm not sure how yours operates, but I wish we still had them now I could totally use it if they help with the whole sleeping thing too! Not being able to sleep suuuucks. I definitely feel your pain. *hugs*
