This and that and waiting for the phone to ring

[susandennis]

My TiVo had a stroke that I discovered last night. The data that it uses for knowing what to record was FUBAR. Happily there's a vibrant community of TiVo-ites and I was able to post about it last night and some kind dude posted the fix this morning. Ran the routine and all is right again. Ahhhhhh.

Meanwhile last night... in the middle of the night I was awakened by a kitty on one side of me and a kitty on the other side of me fighting over The Stickie which was on top of me. I hurled the Stickie and the cats followed. Then, later on, I woke up to find two kitties on my pillow with my head. My pillow is NOT that big. When I finally turned the lights on this morning, I found what else they had been up to.

Those wash cloths had been neatly folded, stored in that blue box up on the shoe rack. Sigh.



This morning they are fighting over/playing with a letter size sheet of brown wrapping paper. Never a dull...

I suspect I will hear from the vet today. I'm not sure I want to.

My car's new windshield is fabulous. Also the guy who runs the company I went with and the tech who did the work... also fabulous. I hope I don't have to use them again but glad to know. I did write up nice reviews.

First up today is to finish up yesterday's larder work. The stuff I froze needs to be wrapped up and the freezer reorganized.

And then there is a general sweep/pick up of stuff the cats have distributed around the house. The aim is to get it all picked up and thrown or put away before they do it all again. Also I think I need a bit of a hair cut.

So really no huge action today but little bits and bobs of things to keep life good.

There's a woman who swims in the mornings usually about 3 days a week. She's probably in her early 60's. And she's just pissed. At the world and everything in it. We maybe exchange 2 sentences at the most and they are always things she's mad about. And she's always in a huge rush. She's just about knocked me over a couple of times in her hurry to get from the locker room to the pool. Today it was "this gym is just going to hell. the pool is never open." Turns out they actually did close it Tuesday due to the heater problem.

I feel so sorry for her that she's so miserable all the time. It must be so awful to live that way. Granted I do have the dream life but I think there must be a middle ground that is attitudinally steered. One that would be easier for her and those who come in contact with her. Sad really.

I'm sure they think your pillow is plenty big enough for them and your head!

How sweet they wanted to share their love of Sticky with you while you slept. LOL Those cats are so funny!

It's too bad that woman is so mad all the time, I wonder why she's like that.

Maybe it's nosy of me but I always wonder what's going on with people who are that mad seemingly all the time.

[susandennis]

Oh, I am the Queen of Nosy myownself. And also The Queen of Judgy. This woman is old enough to have figured shit out and get over it.

[chocolate-frapp.livejournal.com]

You've never met my mom. Trust me, she's the real queen of Judgy.

Pure cat logic. They were starting the process of putting the sheets away for you. You just happened to catch them in the act.

Also, Mr. Sticky may have put them up to that one middle of the night attack. Cats are easily manipulated that way.

Thank goodness the boys alerted you to Stickie's attempt to off you. What other explanation is there?

Poor crabby swim woman.

[susandennis]

FEAR the Stickie!

Sounds like you need a much bigger pillow!

I do so love and adore your posts!!

Except for the fact that I live on the other side of the world and subsequently I have to wait 10 hours for updates while you guys are asleep. lol

It's even worse when my kids and I are anxiously waiting for an update on news from the vet... I've been checking LJ every half an hour from 6h00, in spite of knowing there are probably no posts yet due to the time difference!

Thank you!

I'm ready to hear from that vet myself! I will, of course, post the minute I do.

Oh god...I know someone like that who is always complaining, bitches about everything, yada yada yada. I just don't get the point of being so bitchy all the time. Then again, for me, that takes more energy than being positive, so I sometimes wonder if her brain chemistry is reversed and it takes more energy for her to be positive. On the other hand, she honestly believes that she is happy-go-lucky and laid back. Which is crazy to me because "laid back" is about the last thing I'd ever use to describe her. LOL.

Can you tell me more about the TiVo situation, or point me to the fix? Our TiVo still records stuff but seems to miss a lot, especially new episodes of current shows-- it's frustrating.

[susandennis]

That's exactly how I discovered. I looked ahead and saw that it was not going to record my favorites.

In the guide, it showed long stretches 2 or 3 hours of programming called Title Not Found. So, when you look at History, you see the whatever it was did not record because there was no program.

Here's the fix - I'd say it's worth a try - it does not hurt anything - everything comes back. It took about an hour and a half until it was totally done.

Good luck!
