stinky and smelly...

susandennisMy walls have 'orange peel' texture and the spray on texturing needed to fix over the patches stinks up a storm. Fortunately, it is warm enough to have the door open - loud but warm... The construction across the street is going great guns this morning, too.
Jeff the handyman has been here since about 8:30. Sheri arrived at 10 and Dinah the painter just got here - Sheri went down to get her.
I'm ready for everyone to get done and get out but we're several hours away from that. If there is any work work today, it will be minimal so no distraction there. I absolutely will be going to the pool today - in about an hour or less, I think. I am ever so grateful for the condo rule that says no workers after 5.
Yesterday I priced out the TiVo Elite and how it would fit into my watching scheme. My plan was to wait until September, buy a lifetime subscription and kill my current month to month bill. And then last night one of my TiVo menus said the Elite had a price reduction and today I see that the new pricing structure not only drops the price of the Elite by 25%, it also drops the month to month which is important to my backup plans. So... anyway... bottom line... I pulled the trigger on the Elite this morning. I have paid my last monthly TiVo bill. Nice.
Now that you can transfer your programming (Season Passes) online easily, it makes switching boxes way more palatable. Also nice is now having all the electrical and other cabling behind the TV sorted out and labeled and finally easy to switch. Whew. I'll start moving stuff off the box I'm retiring to the one I'm keeping this weekend so I'll be ready.
I am not that impressed with the TiVo corporation or customer support. In the last 5 years or so, they seem to have lost their way. BUT, they are still - for my money - the best option around for the kind of TV watching/recording I do. I have not seen anything else that comes close or tempts me in even the tiniest way. So I'm ok with reinvesting with them.
Dinah is here now. Dinah painted this place originally and painted my fish murals in the fish room. And then came back last Summer and painted my bathroom. In fact, she's really responsible for this whole project. I'd been thinking about doing it but had not moved past that. She ran into Sheri last Autumn and told Sheri about the bathroom. Sheri sent me an email just to say hi and that started this ball rolling...
Dinah's a kick and very fast and very efficient. And oh so pleasant to be around.
But, Sheri is taking charge so I think I'll get the fuck out of here and go swim and then stop by the grocery on the way back.
