    How good are you at navigating around your home, when it's dark inside?

    I've lived in my home 40+ years, and I have to really feel my way around. At times, I'm not even sure about what room I'm about to enter.

    I'm very good at finding my way through the dark.


    I'm very cautious when if  I must exit the bedroom during the night because we have black-out curtains so the room is pitch-black.  I run my hand along the mattress until I reach the foot of the bed. Then I turn a bit to the right while taking small steps (usually about 6) until I reach Roy's chest of drawers.  Then  I extend my arm out to touch the wall behind the chest of drawers and run my arm along the wall until I reach the door.   I worry that if I am not so careful while leaving the bedroom that I may hit the wall with my face and break my nose or stump or break a toe.   Once I'm out of the bedroom, the rest of the house is easy-peasy to manoeuvre through.

    Sound nothing. I go by memory. I reach for what I expect, touch without letting go, then reach for the next goal. We’re dark in here and when I come in from the bright Texas sun in my sunglasses, I can’t see squat. Have to feel around my purse for my glasses case so I can switch out.....

    not that great. I've bumped into so many things over the years.

    ....fortunately, the strategically placed night lights help

    My house is never totally dark unless a power outage. Then I have a flashlight to lite my way! I'm A sissy of the dark! LOL
