Yesterday evening, the light in the hallway outside my bedroom burned out. We have pretty high ceilings, especially in that part of the house. I brought over a kitchen chair to stand on, but the light fixture was still out of my reach by about 2 or 3 feet. So what did I do? I climbed up on the bookcase. It's a sturdy bookcase, so I figured I would be okay. (I wouldn't even THINK of standing on the bookshelves I have in my room. IKEA and Walmart specials, both of them.) I managed to hold onto the taller bookcase and turn around enough to change the light bulb. Then I very slowly lowered myself back down to the chair ! Voila! Light bulb changed. Go me!
When Melissa came home and I told her what I had done, she reminded me that we have a ladder in the laundry room that is tall enough for such jobs as changing light bulbs in that part of the house. Whoops! I had forgotten about that ladder. Oh, well. I got the job done and didn't fall down! Huzzah!
