There is now light

I read somewhere that the only two fears you are born with is the fear of falling and the fear of loud noises. All other fears are learned. Well, I tackled using a ladder to change the light bulb outside my front door and lived to tell of it. I only had a 6 foot ladder and the light was 11 or 12 feet up so it did require me standing on the step that says "do not stand on this step b/c you could lose your balance." I did picture myself falling off, hitting the sidewalk, needing assistance and knowing my emergency contact was probably in meetings. So, I was super careful, hung on to the side of the house a few times, and made really slow moves. Other than dumping dead bugs on my head I did pretty good (even took the light fixture inside and cleaned it really well) and now have a front light again. Normally I wouldn't be that concerned the light was out but as I live at the back of my complex it can get pretty dark and creepy. So, that was my big accomplishment of the day.
