Cable guy just called and estimates 5 minutes. Which is only an hour and 5 min. late. I'm calling myself lucky. Also, I just watched him drive by the house looking for the address. Guess I should run out and flag him down.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I forget--did you undress for your bath?

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
Heh. Now that would be worth money off the cable bill. No, I refused the bath.

Now I am reminded of how not good I am with people. He's telling me about the weak signal and all I can think of is wishing for a fast forward button because I've heard this on every service call. They said it as they were installing the cable. The signal wasn't the problem. The problem was that one out of two dvrs wasn't recording. That is getting lost in the "Ima see if I can get the signal boosted to all the tvs".
Which is to say I don't have anything really to complain about of significance so I should be counting my blessings that the worse thing going wrong right now is an inconvenience.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I want to be a contestant on "Don't Forget the Lyrics." I could actually make use of the lyrics to all those Paula Abdul songs that have been in my brain for the past 20 years!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Zenkitty - did you have anything that may have raised the humidity in your house?
Suzi, I think that's probably the answer -- I haven't been running the air conditioner as much as usual, so I've had the windows open, and it's humid outside. Thanks!
Theresa, just tell him that! Talking to repairmen can be so frustrating. Especially if they're of the cowboy "I'll handle this, little lady!" variety.
The main reason I hate to fly now is because I've gotten fat enough that my hips just barely fit between the seat arms, and while the belt does buckle, wrestling with it after I've already sat down is annoying and embarrassing (because what am I gonna do? block the aisle with my giant ass while I unhook the thing and drape it so that I can reach the ends after my giant ass has squeezed into the seat? no). So, clearly the only reasonable solution is to lose 50 pounds before I fly to Boston next spring.

Liese, don't they let you put your fits-on-a-real-plane but not on a commuter one size carryone on the planeside cart, and then put it in the overhead on the real flight you connect to? That's the system they have on all the tiny planes I take!

meara, do you get upgraded frequently since you travel so often?

msbelle, hope you catch a spell soon, and hope you can maintain a semblance of even until that happens.
