Big Step In Fighting Bright Lights

Since I moved here I have been working on the house. It was a foreclosure so there has been a lot to do. One major thing I have been wanting was a dimmer switch in the den so the bright lights wouldn't bother me so much. Today we installed a new light and a DIMMER! I have asked my fiance many times for this and I think he finally understood that it wasn't so much of just "having a dimmer" but a way for me to be more comfortable. It means so much to me that he helped me do this today.

Usually at night when I can't sleep I spend my time in the den, watching TV, painting, writing etc. The light in here was so aweful and I would get such bad headaches. Not to mention one of my big "triggers" (if you would call it that) is bright lights. It had gotten to the point where i wouldn't spend much time in the den anymore, pretty much making it so I wasn't comfortable anywhere in the house.

I know this probably doesn't seem like much of an accomplishment/success but to me it means the world.
