Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness

You stupid darkness.

This faux candle (it's a flickering low intensity light bulb in a candle holder with actual wax inside) was purchased on today's megaultrashop. Six hours of extreme activity, doing nothing (well, maybe a little Christmas and Thanksgiving shopping), with stops at Colonial Spirits ($114.88), Video Signals, Trader Joe's ($30.23), Ace Hardware ($30.01), Staples ($112.39), Pier One ($153.79), CVS ($6.51), Blue Coyote Grill ($46.42), Shaw's (recycle plastic bags), the Stow liquor store ($18.53), Whole Foods ($56.54), Shaw's again ($11.66), and Shaw's again ($2.99). And from Pier One, the flicker.


Also at Pier One, steps purchased at closeout prices, to replace what was a mundane table.


Also, it was an Epic Laundry Day.
