susandennisFirst of all I've made my computer totally dark themeed. Chrome has this very annoying gray on gray thing going on that I just cannot read. You can change part of it but you cannot get black text on white for tab names and pop up messages and system messages. So I just made everything black with white type. It's far easier to read... mostly.
But, it makes the TV far easier to see! ha. I have this giant computer screen in front of me and the TV beyond. Turns out the white of the computer screen was causing my eyes to make the TV darker than it needed to be. Now the computer is dark and the TV is way better.
And, coffee.
I went swimming this morning. I swam for about 45 minutes before aquafit. The class is really horrible. No music, just this old guy talking talking talking and because of the tile and water and echo, he sounds like Charlie Brown's teacher. At one point this morning, the woman next to me asked "can you hear what he's saying?" I assured her I could not understand a word of it. But I move and twist and bend and do my own thing and it's fine.
Then onto the biscuit place. I sat up at the counter again and read the paper on real paper. They play music I like and it's just a nice place. The biscuits are good and the coffee is great. I finally saw the waitress making a pot and she left the bag so I could see it.
It looked kind of local so when I got in the car, I looked it up and whoa. VERY local - about 2 miles from the biscuit place. So I went and got a pound.
My coffee in my new pot is close. The problem is getting the right coffee and the right measurement. Now I know I have the right coffee. I just made a pot and my measurement is really fucking close if not flat on it.
Remember when I stabbed myself last Saturday? Well, the bandage came off this morning and the damn thing is completely healed. It's still a tiny bit sore to the touch but the bruise is all gone and the cut has all but disappeared. I'm impressed that my extremities can heal so quickly at my age.
I recently got the front door camera on my TV again. And Julio is fascinated. He sat there for lots of yesterday and he's back again today. Now he's gone around to the back of the TV to check on it. Couldn't find what he was looking for so he's back on Door Watch.
Now it's noon:30. Yikes the day's half gone!

I'm sure their beans would be so good to pick up if I'd just take the time to walk there and buy them, but I'm lazy and pick up Pete's at the grocery store. It's not heaven in a cup, but it's decent enough.
