For years, I have kept a flashlight on my side of the bed. If
I get up in the middle of the night...I shine the light on the
floor ahead of me instead of turning on the light in the bedroom
and waking my husband. We've only had 2 in our home in 30 years...but 2 was way too many.
Keep a hoe handy at all times...and don't walk around in the
dark. :-/
