Timelies all!

Later today we go to Gary's mom's house for dinner, then services. L'shana tova to all who celebrate.

I'd keep the pants if it were me, but I'm a pants gal. Well, not lately, but it isn't usually 100 degrees around here. What's that in celsius? (yes yes, I'll go look up the answer myself)

L'shana tova!

Always impressed at packing many days in a carryon! I always manage to pack a whole bunch of stuff and then end up only wearing half of it.

I just did the Oatmeal's Beat the Blerch 10K, and it was awesome! For some reason the first three miles I was just doing OK, plodding along, and then I got a second (first?) wind and went way faster without running out of breath/heart exploding. Yay! And at the end there was nutella sandwiches and birthday cake, as promised. Though now what i really want is brunch. And I have no one to brunch with. :(

L'shana tova!

Yay 10k, meara, sorry no one to brunch with!

Cleaning house is hard and dusty work, people. Somewhere in our evolution we have made a terrible mistake. I think it was agriculture.

How amused am I that it appears to have been buffista haircut day today? Somewhere, David Smay is feeling all tingly and doesn't know why.

It was a good day!

Congratulations, Sean! I am so happy for all three of you.

Yay race, meara!

My technology has failed me. DVR just randomly shut itself all the way off and didn't record anything and Gamepass is not giving me any love, but did spoil me with the final score. Sigh.

Ah, well. Brunch was lovely.

-t, I'm not really sure you'd gain much from watching it. It was vintage Saints, in the sense that you could fool yourself that maybe it wasn't that bad, until they did something that was definitely that bad. Rinse, repeat.

Congrats, Seany! Here's to happily ever after (after a slight delay)!

Thanks, Dana, maybe I'll take a pass on this week even if I find it available eventually. Legitimately annoyed with my various devices nonetheless.

We lost video feed--no, wait. I'm going through my DVR schedule for the week, setting up the two games for today and deleting some recorded shows I'm just now admitting I didn't watch live, nor watch recorded yet, because I just don't actually care (I love not having to make that decision until weeks later), when Dr. Jeff, Rocky Mountain Vet goes all psychedelic on me. Sound's fine, program grid is fine-I mean, it's *there*, just behind this gauzy bright-colored curtain. Controls work fine, etc. Just screwy video. I pop in a dvd--picture's great. I go to Netflix, picture's fine. Computer's fine. It all comes in on one cable, so everything's working but the video, which is *there*, just screwy.

So, we make the call for a cable tech--first appt. is Wednesday morning. H swaps out the signal splitter for a new one, loses the internet. Reboots the modem, and the router, still no internet. Eliminates the tv altogether and takes out the splitter, runs the cable directly to the modem, which talks to the router, so we have internet. We have dvds, we can live without tv and Netflix. Though the dvr has been diligently "recording" both games, even while it was hooked up to nothing. H says, "It's the box."

I say, "Noooooo!" because I have stuff on there I've saved to watch! Although, by process of elimination I think he's probably right. He wants to take the box to the local cable place and swap it out and see if everything works with a new box, and if so, we can cancel the tech appt. I'm afraid it will. I mean, I don't want to pay for a fruitless appointment, but--but...my *stuff!* That I saved to watch!!

So I am also unhappy with my electronic devices today.
