Pretty sure my reaction was, Damn!, because at 2:00 a.m. and the fifth time of this I was not at my best, but I was asleep immediately before and after reaching up for it and I don’t remember.

Decades ago, my husband changed some of the light switches to dimmer-function ones including in our bedroom. What we’d forgotten, because it’s an old system and that part stopped working long ago, is that you could control it remotely.

Someone else in the neighborhood has that same old system. Someone else’s remote was getting to our bedroom. This only started a few months ago. And that someone else does not live by our time zone.

I know exactly which house those hours would track to–but I don’t *know* and I don’t know them and how do you ask your neighbors which one of them is turning on your own lights at you at dammit o’clock repeatedly when how would they know that that’s what it was doing?

I was so done with this problem.

He looked up what was available these days, got the package a few days ago, got out the tools today, and that switch is out of here. My hero.
