The only problem with *that* is having to dig through the 2 boxes of
tangled cables in the garage to see if I can come up with a power
strip. :) And I'm sure that the aircleaner plus 80 watts of lightbulbs
plus whatever the book light wattage is won't overload the outlet.

And Sammy kept me up last night. Sigh. Dan and I had both been
thinking that maybe we wouldn't have any difficult nights for awhile,
and to maybe consider changing the bedtime routine, and Sammy goes and
decides he's hungry after 12:30, and is at it for awhile due to
interruptions, and is just so darn AWAKE. I got Dan up at 2:30, and he
took a happy-noise Sammy downstairs so I could get some good sleep in
the bed. He got Sammy to sleep in half an hour or so, but then HE was
so awake he couldn't get right to sleep himself. So the kitchen was in
a better state when I came down this morning than it had been when I
headed upstairs. :) (Dan's a pretty good husband, and a pretty good
daddy. I think I did well in getting him.)
