Hey, I'm Back On

Yes, we lost our "cable everything" last night. A big ol' nasty truck that wasn't supposed to be on our street, took our cable line down and it pissed me off to no end. What gets me is that the line was within the limits for street height. So I called Road Runner and made an appointment for 10 A.M. today. David was upset because he couldn't watch Supergirl last night. It also meant my poor husband had to go to work this morning with no TV, no internet, and no house phone. *sigh* Poor, poor David. So we are now back on with full service.

Over the weekend, David trimmed down the rose bushes. I think he went a bit crazy with the pruning shears, though. He cut them really low to the ground. Makes me scared when he does the gardening. He cuts everything down. I think he just gets a bit over zealous when he has the power to destroy. He must think he's some God or whatever. Anywho, I told him they better not die or I'll cut his ass.

We rented a couple of movies over the weekend. Spy and Jupiter Ascending. Spy was outrageously funny. We had to watch it twice because we laughed so hard the first time that we missed a few things. There is no sex or violence in it just a lot of profanity. I mean the F-bomb is dropped every few seconds. If you can get past it, the movie will not disappoint.

As for Jupiter Ascending, the CGI was very impressive but the story line limped along like a dying soldier. At times, it was okay, then there were parts that made you say "wut dafuq just happened?" It was pretty bad. I don't recommend it.

Well, I have spaghetti sauce to start and I have puppy toys to pick up. Ciao y'all.

It's Monday

During Sunday and Monday, we had thunderstorms and rain. This in turn caused a few brownouts, and on Monday we lost our cable DVR to the power surge. So I called Time Warner for help because we were getting a strange message on the DVR stating it needed to update after the last brownout. Well, I ended up calling them twice and nothing on their end seemed to work. So, I called David who was upset about the fact that we had to exchange the DVR. He was not pleased and took the time off anyways. 

He came home at 3PM and took the DVR to New Braunfels for a new one. I hooked it up and it didn't work so I called Time Warner again. I made an appointment with them to send a tech out to check the outside box on Wednesday. As you can guess, David was not happy. Turning in the DVR meant that he would lose all the TV shows and movies that he had saved on that DVR, so you can imagine how even more pissed he was that we wouldn't have cable either until then. 

On Wednesday, the cable TV tech came early to the house. checked the message on the cable and then went outside to check the box and the connections. He had to replace the whole cable line from the pole across the street to our house. Turns out the squirrels in the area had been chewing on the cable connection on the pole. He then set up the HD box in our bedroom so we could get better cable reception in there. He was there for only a half hour and we had everything back. Well except for David's TV shows he had taped on the DVR. He treated it like it was the end of his world. Shit!

During last week, I was able to get a whole lot of Spring cleaning done too. I divided the house up into days. The bedroom and bathroom on Monday. Tuesday was the TV/ computer room, etc, etc... I was so glad to get everything done by the end of the week and that included the laundry before Friday. I paid for it this past weekend with my usual back pain, but it was damned well worth it. Which reminds me, I need to call my doctor to get a prescription renewal. I am totally out of my pain meds.
