Day Light Alarm but Cheaper

Day Light Alarm but Cheaper

So some time last year I accidentally murdered my daylight alarm clock.

I had bumped it and it fell off my nightstand for a second time and that was enough for it to go off it's gears with the alarm function. The alarm would not only go off when ever it wanted but would do a random sound and random duration's of light. It was like my own little nature rave.

Seeing as it’s now late enough in fall that the sun is drastically different... I really needed a new one. Or so I thought.

I didn’t want to put out $$ for a delicate flower of an alarm clock. This time I got LED light bulbs for Day Light and a plugin timer. I already had an old book lamp from the late 80′s so I was set on that from.

I opted not to have it shine directly in my face and instead have it pointing at the wall were the sun normally rises from.

So far it has been super effective.

I already have my normal alarms on my phone but just having this light turn on before them is so helpful. 

This is the GE 24-Hour Heavy Duty Indoor Plug-in Mechanical Timer 2 Pack that I got https://amzn.to/3GJCn8B

And this is the Regal LED A19 Light Bulb 5000K Daylight 5 Pack that I got https://amzn.to/3q2tUHC 

I got more then just a single of each because I actually needed more timers and the light bulbs were more cost efficient as a 5 pack. I plan to use them in other lamps also. So no wasted funds.

Hope this helps!

Second Tuesdays Update 11-9-2021

 Second Tuesdays Update 11-9-2021

 

I had a surge of "need to do" and I moved a little furniture around. I also almost broke my arm because of physics and I did not plan for adjusting my grip on the shelving that I almost had to lift over my head. Yeah... It turned out good tho so now I just have to load it up with dishes and then... pick a paint color and paint the walls. After I take the thing down again. 

I was going to paint everything first but then I just didn't.

 Slowly my witch aesthetic is taking over my house. If only it would unpack as it went.

Blog related news, I have started a post and it is going to have affiliate links in it. I'm not sure how to feel about it. On one hand I have used said products and feel relatively good about linking to them. On the other hand... I can hear googles algorithm just biding it's time. Waiting in broad day light to either strike my blog down or god knows what.

Which... It seems to be much harder to have a new blog these days. Goint to have a post on that also.

I also started playing a pay-to-win fashion game on my phone. I spent so much money on the Halloween dresses. Well, so much money for me because I don't really like to spend money on games. Oh well.

Future Friday Predictions & Planning 10-29-2021

  Future Friday Predictions & Planning  10-29-2021

At the point I am writing this I still do not have my car back. Do I have it back when this posts? who knows! *update I have it back!!!*

It is also hard to plan because most thoughts are Halloween! Will I have decorated? No.

Have I gone through all my past Amazon orders and started working on review posts? Also no.

Waaaay back at the beginning of this blog I talked about how much work the 'math' made it look like. I am still right about the amount of work that is needed. It does not get easier in the why that I had hoped.

It does get easier taking a look at it and saying 'not today'. But that is another thing.

This little experiment has really brought to light how boring my life is when written down. Oh well.
