I started to get ready for bed last night and thought to myself, “Looking good!” So I took a mirror selfie.

Why Was I Looking Good?

I was actually surprised at how much better I seemed to look last night in the mirror. Purple is a good color for me usually. And my hair has grown in nicely. But my complexion looked considerably better than usual. Then I realized.

Dim lights is why.

This isn’t about fishing for compliments. I honestly thought I looked much better than usual last night when I saw myself in the mirror.

And then I realized the reason. One of the bulbs in the bathroom lighting fixture was burnt out.

I’ve always known the dim lighting is my friend. And that’s only gotten more important as I age. On the one hand, I really like having bright lights for shaving, moisturizing and brushing my teeth and hair. On the other hand, this little ego boost last night might make me consider leaving the burnt-out bulb in place for a while.

Current Knitting

Moving on to the next color combinations in the the Double-Layer Linen Stitch Scarf. Don’t worry, there won’t be another pop quiz. That was a one-time thing.

I’m not making quite as much progress as I’d hoped.

I expected to have over 2 feet by now. But I’m just enjoying the process. I have no need to worry about the pace of progress for this project.
