A paranoid thought

One little confession:


Several months ago, I pinned a white paper lantern above my bed using a thumb tack and a piece of yellow string.  I never could figure out the instructions to actually install a light in the lantern (ha, a pun on my last post?!  heh heh), it seemed way too complicated.  So I opted to just stick the thumb tack into the ceiling.  

Something I often think about before falling asleep is:  What if the tack falls down from the ceiling during my sleep and pierces my eye?  

This is what keeps me up at night.

That would keep me up too love! Hmm, maybe you should put scotch tape over the tack? Or, or, maybe, sleep with shades. ;)

I'll pray for your beautiful eyes! I love you!

But what if the scotch tape wears off too? ;) Maybe I'll just sleep with my sunglasses on, or a helmet. That might be good.

I love You!

At least your eyes will be closed?

And I would very much like to encourage the helmet idea. ;)

hahaha, thanks Rae Rae. Glad I have your support.

LOL Elena, take out the thumb tack and insert one of those tiny hooks with the screw end. They leave an only slightly bigger hole, don't require a screwdriver and will definitely not fall on you in your sleep :)

Haha! Thank you for the suggestion, Jessie!! I'm going to check that out! :)
