We haven’t had TV cable service since October 7th. I contacted our Internet provider again yesterday morning, wanting an update. The tech answered, saying that they were suspending providing TV service immediately, since the provider with whom they were partnered had unsolvable problems.
SO. My husband decided he wanted to try to get YouTube TV, and we spent an exhausting day on that. I finally called it a night at 11:00. We made some progress, but still have a lot to do to get it running, with sound, and so that we can actually USE it. Suffice to say, I’ll spend the day trying to keep my mouth firmly shut, and will stay clear unless he asks for my help.

I finally received the earrings yesterday I ordered some time ago. “Something happened,” and apparently the package was lost in the ozone. I contacted Chaia and she said she would get another pair in the mail ASAP. Some time passed again. I was just about to contact her again and she wrote, saying the earrings had been mailed. A few days later, I got them. They look just like they do in this image. I think they’re wonderful, and I don’t have anything like them. Except for the delivery time. I’m very happy.

My good friend, Marsha, sent me this! We are really good friends and communicate at least daily; and better, sometimes several times during a day. Even though she’s across the country from me, she is my CLOSE friend. She has used this TENS system to alleviate her pain for some years now and wanted me to have one. I’m really touched that she would get me this starter kit, plus extra electrodes. :0)

My husband likes it really cool and really dark to sleep. I’ve gotten used to moving around with the use of a couple of extremely dim lights – a night light behind a curtain under the window, and the other the residue from a shaded light out in the hall from our 2nd floor thermostat. I walk toward the bathroom with my arm straight out in front of me so I don’t bash into the bathroom door when I get up to pee. :0)
The sheet, light velour blanket and comforter were more than he needed, but I was freezing. Yesterday when we changed the sheets, we put our electric blanket back on. The added weight of that blanket really helped me sleep better. AND, if I need it, I can just flip my control for more heat on my side. We are both happy now again. HOOORAAAAY.

Two days ago I received my smart watch and got it set up mainly to record my steps in an effort to move the lard. That afternoon I recorded around 1800 steps. The following day I logged in 4177 steps, taking several short walks around the yard, wearing my gloves and carrying the pruners to do some neatening up while I walked. Yesterday, even though I only got outside for one walk, I logged 5293 steps.
My SIL whom I love – even though she leaves me in the dust – told me this morning that she is ‘still walking 4 miles daily.’ Humph! Instead of feeling like a slug or sloth, though, I’m not comparing myself to her. I’ll keep her wonderful ability and habit kind of as a beacon, but will only concentrate on improving MY total each day. Moving this lard SOME is much better than completely sedentary. My watch is now reminding me to “get off your duff!” and, “drink more water!”
Have a fun day.
