Note to self......watch the cashier and the stuff being rung up- A $2.89 cent apple. ONE. She took it off the ticket and then rang it up again.. Still $2.89- voided it again.. And it was the smallest of the five different apples I got for the French Apple Cake. The recipe said get all different kinds of apple. I think a full bag was $2.89.
I am just coming DOWN from yesterday. Daughter called me and as I was talking MSNBC turned into a yellow screen with a drawing of Air California on a small airplane. And we had NO CABLE..... NO TV.
Now...I can do without lots of things-- including heat and hot water--but NOT TV. Not in 2022. I have enough problems..I am FULL UP on problems.
So there we were.....a husband with memory problems and all the plug ins on the back of the TV. The tinkering went on for awhile. Then...he said (not aloud) that he gave up and just plugged everything in. The tv went on. The TiVo worked. There was rejoicing and tears. Then he asked me to take pictures of the backside of the TV where things were plugged in. On my phone. Not his. I did. He didn't like them so I got rid of those and took new ones- he liked those.
It was a moment. Because he wanted the pictures on my iPhone not his. Because he knew.
I have about 12 pictures on my iPhone- max. So they are safe- it's not like I look at them......I usually just take them and send them to my desktop and delete them. I used to see garden center customers going thru 1 million pictures to find the one of the dead plant they wanted me to examine. From an iPhone image.
And we both sat on the couch trying to regulate our hearts, lungs and anxiety.
Then we watched Monday Night Football with the Raiders and the guys in the red. With that horrible Indian War Chant- especially on Indigenous People's Day.
This morning husband checked all the batteries in the Dispose Jar and found 75% of them still good. Sigh. That's another issue- if something doesn't work- he puts in new batteries. We spend a fortune on batteries.
So tell me something good in the comments.

I am burning one of my wonderful smelling candles from David last Christmas. Maybe one of the last but it is so delightful.
The blue sky today is the BEST. The newly turned gold leaves makes me giddy.
I am determined to vacuum my filthy family room carpet room today, I am feeling pretty proud of that!

I stopped leaving the TV on "for company" and switched to NPR radio or a cable music channel. Changes your thinking. Takes away time fences.
I've had 4 steroid shots in the last week, one for my sciatic nerve, one for each hip bursa and today one in hip joint in groin for pain at the top of my leg...the good news is I don't have to have any more of them.
It was a gorgeous, windy, sunny day in the Pikes Peak Region today. About 70 degrees. If I could send you some photos I'd send some of the Aspen leaves from last weekend when my son and daughter and I drove from Colorado Springs to Montrose (6 hrs), then to Durango along the Million Dollar Highway. Took our collective breaths away.

You all are the BEST!!!!
