Sitting Alone in the Dark

Until just a moment ago, I was sitting alone in the dark. Now I have filled the darkness with the light of a single bulb -- and am still alone.

No, I'm not being metaphorical.

I got up at 6:15 and came out to have my tea in a still quiet living room. As is my wont, I did not turn on the lights but made the tea in the dark and then sat at my computer to read blogs. The light of the screen was plenty.

Until I had to plug in one of those spam preventer codes while commenting on a blog! I am not sure enough of my touch typing to do one as complex as this one was without looking at the keys. Hence the single bulb in my reading light.

Now I guess I'll read blogs and knit on my vest.

I can't touch type. 10 fingers. 110 keys on the keyboard. You just KNOW I'm gonna mave typos. It's a given. (And I use that line at work a lot. I wasn't hired for my typing abilities.)
Does your laptop have a built in mini-light? I have one on my IBM Stinkpad. Er, IMB Thinkpad.

You're knitting by computer light? I love the combination of old tech and new tech!

You weren't in the dark. You have the light of your laptop to keep you company! That plenty of light for a lot of things.
