Today’s Question: Do you use a nightlight (or something comparable) for if/when you wake up in the dark? I don't normally use one, but made an exception for a few months when I was recovering from foot surgery and not getting around the house very well. I had to be extra careful.
Extra Credit: Do you buy pens (or writing instruments) in bulk or one at a time? I haven't purchased a pen in many years. I get so many of them for free from seminars and in gift bags at charity events that I never run out anymore. I don't do a lot of writing by hand, so pens last a long time in my house.

Just for Fun: Have you a bed cover-an extra piece of fabric (sheet, quilt, duvet cover, bedspread)-atop your blankets? Yes. I have a comforter on my bed. Today’s Word: winterbourne (n.): A stream or river that is dry in summer months and flows during winter and/or times of high precipitation, often in an area with chalk or limestone in the soil. That's a cool word. I need to remember that one.

National Bike To Work Week I wish I could do this, but I have a 29-mile commute and work in a city which is very unsafe. National Women’s Check-up Day I've already had mine for this year. Limerick Day I love limericks! My friends on C-D are a hoot. I love them way better than loot. They sure make me smile More than once in a while. I'll ne'er give my fun pals the boot! (Hey, what do you expect for 2 minutes of effort? )

Today’s Question:
Do you use a nightlight (or something comparable) for if/when you wake up in the dark ?
Yes, the backboard area has a light switch but we also put up one of those motion detector lights in the bathrooms. The motion lights are much better (providing you keep batteries working). That gets used more often because the light switch on bed backboard turns on both overhead lights and it's pretty bright.

^I was reading a magazine article about Stonehenge, which led to me to looking the site up on Wikipedia,
which led to other "earthworks" kinds of art (mounds, tunnels, etc.), which eventually led me to this word (which was new to me).
