Happy Ears and Happy Lights!

Charlie was digging in her ears pretty hard tonight. She normally does this when her ear infection returns. So I grabbed the cleaner and q-tips and to my surprise...CLEAN!!  Probably the cleanest we've ever seen them.  She'll still have to stay on the medicine some but what a great blessing!  

Also, totally unrelated but this little blessing: 

is a Happy Light. Literally. That's what it's called, a Happy Light. I kept putting off a nightstand lamp but tonight I found this when we were looking for some other lamps. It's a softer light that's suppose to be better for your eyes which is great for me because I have always complained about bright lights at night. It's also suppose to combat the tiredness and malaise associated with the winter blues, help with fatigue and regaining focus. Does it work?  I can't confirm anything yet but, I can say I love the shape and size and the soft light really is plesant on my eyes.
