Left in the Dark.

My pantry also doubles as my closet and laundry room, it also houses most of the spiders in the house. So when one fluorescent light went out I figured I would survive as long as I could see little black dots that weren't there yesterday and then squish them. I usually wear bluejeans and t-shirts, so clothes matching wasn't a big deal and I usually just eat whatever I can grab on the way out the door so that wasn't an issue either. However when the other side of the light went out I couldn't see the spiders lurking anymore, and this was cause for great concern. So I put in "new" bulbs that were left behind by the last resident. This didn't enlighten the situation. I put up a small set of five globes Christmas lights that change colors. The blue and green work pretty well for spider detection, the red light is only really good for not running into very large objects such as dyers and shelves. After a week of near death experiences with spiders, near starvation and being in the same clothes, I decided that I should dig out a strand of real Christmas lights and hang them from the ceiling. Now it looks like a cheap bar on the beach. The best part is after one beer I loose at least 10 pounds and my hair look gorgeous even uncombed and everything I mumble to my self is the funniest thing anyone has ever said.
