 Our power went off three times over night. Around 8:00 am it started going off and on like a light switch. I lost count after 15 times. Every few minutes it would go out for a minute and then turn back on. It wasn’t ideal for making internet calls.

I felt tired today. I have the pre-travel lists I am going over in my head. It seems like my brain thinks it is life or death if we forget something. As if we can’t purchase whatever it is we need. I know it is unrealistic. But somehow the lists keep happening.

Avery arrived in Denver today for a large physics conference. She is presenting with her professor regarding the research she did last summer.  It is the first time she has flown without a parent. My baby is growing up!

I have declared war against mice in my basement. Patti 3, mice -0. Since everyone knows that mice can come back to life at any moment (my unrealistic fear) I have Paul discard them. I just don’t like mice. They move too fast and they carry and spread diseases. They are not welcome.

I was reading tonight about a couple that was arguing over leaving the range hood on all night. He thought it was fine, she didn’t. It’s another interesting human behavior question. We leave our range hood on at night. It is totally a waste of energy. But we have done it for years. I never thought about it before.

We have never argued about it. We have far more complex arguments….like how rude it is to sneeze while someone is talking.

We have never once had a conversation about it. It just sort of happened. It’s something we do. It gets dark, the range hood light comes on. Do you leave yours on all night?

  1. Yep. Range hood on at night. Ours even has a “night mode”.

  2. Ha! We rarely use our range light. Most of the time I forget its there. Every once in a while, I will be cooking and thinking that it is hard to see and then I will remember that I have a range light and it makes me very happy. But then I see stains on the stove and I don’t like it. You must have a very clean stove to be illuminating it!
