Today I was able to get around a bit more and that helped my frame of mind. Also, the Princess called to let me know that Tara was having a get-together at her house from 5pm until 8pm. If I am to go, I will probably have to have the Beast drop me off there and then pick me up. I'm worried about Tara's driveway, which is steep. But I guess I can call inside and have someone come out to help me. I just don't want to chance another fall. That would surely push chance to it's limit.
After eating dinner tonight, I took my regular nap and woke up to a storm that sounded just awful. All day long the weather had actually looked like it would snow if the temperature were just lower. I tried getting online to talk to Bratfink and Mustachio and kept getting knocked offline. I think my son tried to call me when I finally gave up trying to get online but it was still buried under my recliner, out of reach. I lay back in my recliner since there wasn't anything else to do and just watched TV until I fell asleep (again). It seems to be what I do when I am bored. Let's face it, most of the movies on TV I have seen over and over for many years.
The storm sounded really bad. Lots of thundering and lightning. It didn't help that Bratfink, during the short time she and I were connected, told me that they were having tornadoes in the states to our west and that is where the storms were coming from. In reality, I was a bit surprised when I woke up to discover that I had fallen asleep. Usually, during storms like that, I turn to the weather channel and am on the edge of my seat.
I discovered that our neighbor, Dennis, had been here and the Beast went with him to Radio Shack and also Walmart to look and see if they could find a good outside antenna. Dennis is outraged that he is no longer able to watch Fox network on Dish (although it says that Fox removed their startions and programs, not Dish). He has this idea that he has now planted in the Beast's head that he can do away with Dish and get all the channels HE wants. I immediately told him that we would NOT be able to get the stations *I* watch, such as Animal Planet, Discovery, History, History1, TNT and others. Those are proprietory satellite programs and no regular antenna is going to be able to home in on those. Not that I think he cares. He started talking about sending for an antenna that has a remote so you can align it with satellites. When I asked what he would do for internet, I swear, he wasn't even listening. I'm beginning to dislike Dennis' influence on the Beast.
Okay, time to go back to bed. I have things I must do in the morning if I am going to go to Tara's. Love you all. The storms are gone for now, it seems. I hope you all are fine. I seem to be getting better as far as my leg and hip are concerned. It's not over yet, but I can get around somewhat. Be good. Have a wonderful Christmas Eve with family and friends. ***Hugs***
