Cable on the Flat Screen TV!
Dec. 10th, 2014 10:00 pmI'm either very clever or very dumb, depending on how you look at it. I never was able to get cable on the new flat-screen TV in the living room, so I had been using the small TV in my bedroom if I wanted to watch TV. However, I canceled the second cable box in the new place. However, they convinced me to get the same "economy" cable package that I had in Springfield, which includes CNN, along with high-speed Internet in the new place. When I was driving home from Lincoln tonight, it occurred to me that I never programmed the cable remote, so I decided to give that a try. I'll be damned; it works. I'm ridiculously pleased with myself. (And I'm taking the cable box and remote down to Lincoln, so it should work there.)
I got the cats off to the vet today with some drama with Harlee. (She was hiding under the furniture in the living room, so I brought down the vacuum cleaner. That got her visible, but she still was in the living room until I chased her with the carrier. The combo of the vacuum cleaner and scary Mom freaked her enough for her to run upstairs, and then I followed her, closed the gate, and got her in the carrier.) Poor babies. It's going to be a late night because the movers are coming tomorrow, but I brought the air mattress back up here so that I can take a nap after the movers leave. And then I'll go down to Lincoln. They are going to unload on Friday.
