Neither one of the schools I have to navigate through to get home from the pool was in session today - clear sailing!! Although through pea soup fog. My swim was better. I forgot my inhaler but I did use the counter and yep, I am off the mark but more on it than yesterday so it's just a matter of counting, tracking and not fucking around. I can do it. I also did not pop out of the pool and run into the shower. I took my time and stopped and chatted and so, when I got to the car, I was not gasping for breath. I was breathing hard but not gasping. So, Victory.
I started two audio books last night. One had dramatic music behind the reader - er, no thanks. And the other was just too angst ridden for my taste. I often check out audiobooks from the library but when the library doesn't have them, I buy them from Audible.Com. Audible has this great feature... you can return any book you don't like. So I am currently 'chatting' with them to return the two books. Done. So love those people.
Now I have to find a new book to start tonight. Which one, which one...
My new TiVo Mini is out for delivery. That should be fun to get all set up and see if it will work for what I need.
I just heard a story on NPR about the SuperBowl hype. I honestly thought we were being pelted unfairly because of the Seahawks being in it but it sure sounds like the unrelenting hype is being shared nationwide. Interesting.
Time for my pre-day-day-before-the-big-game's-eve breakfast - which will not be blue and green.

It's a hate technology day...
Jan. 30th, 2015 03:56 pmMy TiVo Mini arrived and I killed 3 hours trying to get it connected. Total fail. Back to TiVo. Replacement should be here Monday-ish. TiVo is a marvelous thing. But setting one up is right up there with waterboarding. Even this Mini, which should be dirt simple... After I boxed it up and put it by the front door, I researched the error. The TiVo Support guy said he had seen a fair amount of it. The internets say 'see you and raise you 100%'. Apparently V70 is an oldie but goodie shared and not enjoyed by many. Going back to when the first Mini's were shipped. Some boxes have it and some don't. Youdathunk they'd have maybe poured some resources into fixing it but apparently not. Really, TiVo?
Also I decided to give Powerline networking a try. Maybe that will work better. Maybe not. Amazon's sending. Those adapters will be here Sunday. I'm still in a free return shipping on all of it if I can't make it work. So no harm no fowl[sic] except for person tech stress. Really just stretching my brain.
The condo association had its annual meeting this past Monday. I used to go every year but finally hit the wall one year and vowed I'd never go again. My neighbor down the hall, Ann, votes my proxy. I have been and plan to continue to go to the monthly meetings. They are nicely run and informative and mostly without many idiots.
Since I didn't go, I didn't know who won the board seats and who the new president is. Turns out the new president is the old one and that's a massively good thing. Sandy is the smartest person in this building and her skill set is managing people and organizations. I don't know how we got her to take over the lead roll but I am so glad we did and glad she said ok to year two. She's also lived here since the building was opened like I have.
It seems like I had something else to add to this entry but whatever it was is gone now. Buhbye...
