Upgrading scares me. We still don't know how our cable works and we've had it for twelve months. We can change the channel now, but we still have to Get Up to manually turn it on and adjust the volume. Dh wants me to program the all-in-one remote. Yeah, right. Not likely, buster.

 

Call the cable company and tell them to send out a tech because your TV isn't working.  When they get there explain it's the remote that is not functioning and they will program it for you.  No really.  I used to work for a company that installed cable for Comcast, and you would not believe how many of those calls we got.  Mostly the calls were from older folks who were not as tech savvy as Ellie and Mr. Ellie, but I'm sure they would do it for you as well. :)  And then ask them to EXPLAIN to you how to use it.  They will.  And even though they won't make a lot of money off of your call, they may secretly be happy that they got an easy call where they didn't have to crawl through your attic or fight off cockroaches. 

 

Yes, cockroaches.  We had to bag and then fumigate some of the returned cable boxes.  Oh the stories those techs told...

I believe I am sick. :( My nose is stopped up, eyes are watery, joints are achy, and the inside of my head feels strange. The twins and dh have had allergies/sinus problems. So I don't know if it is allergies or a cold. I rarely get sick, maybe once every 5 years or so.

 

:grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug:  I'm SO sorry!!!!! Hope you get to stay home today and drink hot lemonade with honey and get well. :sad:

When I come down with something that makes me feel achy, my first course of action is to hydrogen peroxide my ears (put a half capful in each ear and let sit for 3 minutes or so) every couple of hours. In the mean time I will suck on a cold-eeze. I am usually feeling much better by evening.

I have discovered that I need highlighters, dry erase markers and 0.9 mechanical pencil lead. Yesterday. Looks like I get to go to my favorite place in the world to salivate over all the paper products this evening. It's something about the smell and feel of crisp, new paper. Any kind. I love it.

 

ETA: Yes, paper isn't on my list. Who would bet against me coming home with a six-pack of my favorite yellow legal pads, though?

I'm sorry you're ill.

 

The goldfinch is back and brought a friend!

I don't know what this means.

I don't know what this means either.

John thinks that Phoebe from The Magic School Bus is very nice and he would like to buy her flowers. This boy likes girls more than any other boy I know. First it was Taylor Swift, then the hairdresser, then Carrie Underwood, now Phoebe. He says he wishes she wasn't a cartoon.

Despite having it on two to-do lists, I totally forgot to drive into the big city for my shots and  new vials of meds.  It's 4 pm - rush hour traffic.  I won't make it there before 5 and they will then be closed so there is no point in even trying to go now.  I guess I'll have to move it to Wed.  I think I have enough meds to dh to give me my shots today.  Not that I really want my shots . . . .

Lest your caffeine-induced state of mind confound you...

 

1. Yesterday a goldfinch came to my new bird feeder (i have never seen a goldfinch in my yard before). Today he or she was back and there was a second goldfinch with him/her.

 

2. Trying to relieve stress and anxiety *and* appease The Queen with posts to prove the seriousness with which we take this thread.

Dd and I went backyard birding this morning. We're doing the bird book by Apologia for science. Very few birds around this morning. But our cat Socks decided to help us out by flushing a bird out from a bush. He was flying too fast for us to be able to identify it!
