One of the annoying things about the concussion stuff- I mean besides the Worker's comp issue-is all the things I can't watch.

Tried watching Black Widow- the cuts and flashing lights meant it was a no go. M's mom resubscribed to Amazon Prime for some reason so I tried to watch Th Expanse-I could skip past the flashing parts but the round and round camera work of the first shots of the Roci crew made me nauseous. I tried Hawkeye - flashing lights.

The Witcher I could do if I wasn't totally focused on it and there wasn't a lot of jump cuts and flashing lights and things like that but I wasn't even going to try to watch them all at once (I mean one episode or the whole movie) but I can't even do it in little bits.

Book of Boba Fett has been mostly ok- again watching it while I was eating so focusing on other things so at least one new thing I've wanted to watch I got to.

I signed up for Discovery + since it was cheap and I've ditched my cable thing since it wasn't getting used. Although for some reason some of the Food Network shows seem slow showing up on Discovery. I didn't realize about Repair Shop so I'll give that a try.

I really liked School of Chocolate.

M will like Repair Shop (I think) he's big on Pawn Stars and Antique Road show.

We got an antenae for the tv, which is a Roku smart tv, and neither of us realized about Roku Live tv so there are a lot of options and channels that are just MST3K and Antique Road Show and stuff like that but also a bunch of actual live channels and things. You don't get to pick what you watch but there is always something on

I know kids from football concussions that had to go 1-2 months with no tv at all, so take it easy askye.

Sometimes I type 4 when I mean f. Because it starts with an f? I think?

I type Nadine instead of The word name all the time! Because it is my name? So if I am making a worksheet where people have to enter their name, I have to triple check I haven’t asked them to enter their Nadine.

It took searching at 3 grocery stores, but I finally found my preferred chili mix and cooked up a pot for dinner this week. I had molasses on hand, so the flavor has turned out much better than my last attempt.

One of the things I've found about "The Repair Shop" is that I have to watch with closed captioning on. The people who bring in things to be repaired are from all over England and some of them have strong accents.

I've also learned that nearly every repair starts with a good cleaning. Something I should really take to heart.

Yeah, when EM got a concussion it was 6-8 weeks before she was back to normal.

Especially anything with mechanical parts! Degrease and de-gunk!

Ha, ha, ha, oops! I was just doing an online yoga class (live) and forgot to turn off my microphone. It was a bit too advanced for me, so I said, "Yeah, this is not working for me," as I got up to log out. The teacher, mid-pose, goes, "And if someone has their microphone on, please mute it," totally in the flow of doing her pose. It was pretty epically poised, actually. Impressive. I'm slightly embarrassed that I made such a rookie Zoom flub, but mostly I'm amused.

Would be awfully nice if all the world had their own Nadine.

Ha! That did make me snort.

Chitchatting with my eldest this morning as he was moaning about -9F temps. Laughable for me having been raised in that environment, but hysterical for the one who spent his first 28 years in Florida. He doesn't know it but I bought him boots for his birthday. Fool is still walking around in basketball shoes. Anyway next month he is going to a Billie Eilish concert in Pittsburgh so I discussed the whole driving on insane hills on ice thing, since he really doesn't understand either. He has driven plenty in snow last year, but in a city with well maintained pretty flat roads.
