EEEK - Internet TV
OK, I"m a TV addict, and I admit it. That's why I didn't get one of the digital converter boxes when analog broadcasts disappeared, and I don't have any cable service. However, in the past month I have discovered just how many TV programs are available, as full episodes, online. I spent a couple weeks, when I wasn't feeling well, watching the ( Read more... ) -
Hallelujah, they turned on the heat!
Today was COLD in my apartment. Outside was gray and damp, with a high temperature of 50 degrees, so I was really uncomfortable. I couldn't get warm, so eventually I just went back to bed. I still was a little chilly, but not too bad. I was dreading tonight, though, and when I checked about 4 pm the radiators were still cold, so I was prepared ( Read more... ) -
Not a complete geezer yet...
Okay, the good news is that I still have all my teeth (hence the subject heading). The bad news is that I also still have a major toothache. It turns out that the abscess isn't that big, and it's in the tooth next to the one the dentist worked on recently. So the root canal didn't really help, and I already had a root canal on the new problem ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
I had a good day today. I slept for ten hours straight last night, which is very unusual for me. Usually I wake up after about 3 hours, read or do nothing for a couple hours, then go back to sleep. So it was a wonderful feeling to wake up this morning and realize it was actually morning, and time to start my day. I mailed a package for the bf ( Read more... ) -
Life in the Invalid Envelope
Not much going on this week. I've had a bad headache since Wednesday, so I've spent most of my time in dark, quiet rooms. I have managed to take several walks, so I don't think I'll be deconditioned when I finally feel better. I've been reading Angela Thirkell novels from the library. She's an English author, WWII-era, very light stuff, perfect ( Read more... ) -
The &*%@#$ Three Things
1. I got groceries today. This one is real. It's always good to get stocked up on the healthy foods I like.
2. I didn't kill the bf today.
3. The laundry thief only took 3 of my favorite shirts - the 4th one was only one I liked.
Nuff said.
Mood: For some reason, they don't list homicidal. Major oversight, in my opinion. -
The desk chair saga
My old desk chair, really a wooden dining room chair, finally broke a few weeks ago, and I decided I should try to get a "real" desk chair to replace it, since I'm spending a lot more time at my computer these days (insert happy dance here). So, I googled "desk chair" and read some reviews and buying guides, and learned that the recommended " ( Read more... ) -
Dancing with Dad
OK, let's see if this works. This is a little less than a minute of raw video of M holding the baby. The audio was basically a test of the little microphone the bf loaned me, and the little microphone didn't do too well.

How do I upload a video?
OK, I know this is possible, becauselyda_pearl posted a video a few weeks ago. However, I can't find anything that explains how to do it. Any advice? -
The Nephew!
Yes, I have met The Nephew, and he is just as cute as advertised. I also saw lots of evidence that his lungs are nice and healthy - at least he is able to sustain crying for hours. Other factoids: the little guy likes to eat - he must be related to me! Apparently he would eat pretty much the entire time he's awake, if Andrea would let him. He ( Read more... )
