This long darkness during winter has limited the work I can do because when daylight is out, it seems my body is also telling me to slow down. There are lots of craft projects I’m putting on hold, to give way for more important things, such as family!

Anyway, I’ve already got an idea how to maximize my time. I think the solution to lengthen my “day” is to add more lighting at home. There’s only the chandelier in our living room to light up the whole space. It’s got like 6 bulbs but the orangey-yellowish lighting doesn’t really help much. Here in this side of the world, most homes if not all use the bulbs which I don’t like. I prefer fluorescent which has the daylight effect. It’s brighter and even cost-efficient. I can just imagine how it would brighten up the room if we add fluorescent wall lights.

We actually bought a regular fluorescent tube and placed it on one side of the room which doesn’t look nice, but serves the purpose. Wall sconces are the perfect solution if only we’re allowed to drill or destroy walls in this flat. Hmmmm… Next solution, floor lamps! Yep, that’s just what I’m gonna do, get us a new floor lamp when the tide of busyness subsides. Right now, the priority for this week is the preparation for Adie’s 2nd birthday.
