So they're not too much different. But if the electricity in the whole house goes off, you should see how freaked out my human gets! It's really funny! I think it's mostly because of the internet, and not so much the lights. Half the time she packs up her laptop and leaves! Me? I really don't care.

There, she leaves a couple of lamps on but mostly not overhead lights on, just whatever she needs to do the job; she prefers sunlight if possible but it's not always bright enough the way the rooms are set up. So it just depends on the day/weather/situation sometimes!<br /><br />We love the title of the post, by the way...
