The AT&T installer was scheduled to be here between 11 and 1:00, and it's now 1pm. I just got a call from him saying he'd be here in about 20 minutes. But I didn't have anything else to do today, did I.
So now he has been here for about 1/2 hr. but has to go get something he needs but doesn't have with him. He said once he gets back it should only take him about 20 minutes. I confirmed that I will have a DVR with this service, something DirecTV didn't offer me. With DirecTV I needed my own recorder, according to them. It will be nice to have if I won't be home when a dynamite show is on the Science channel, but I doubt I'll use it all that much. I will have the Smithsonian channel, as well as NASA TV and a number of travel channels, which I think I will like once in a while.
Last night I got a notice from Verizon that I had gone over my limit for this month, with 4 days left. I can up the limit another 5GB for an extra $30, but I wouldn't come close to being able to use 5GB in just 4 days. I will just pay an extra $10 for each additional GB and hopefully I won't go over the first $10. I am counting the months (about 4) - soon to count the days - until my contract with Verizon is up. In the meantime I'm swearing off watching videos - even the little 2 and 3 minute videos eat up bandwidth evidently.
I got a great night's sleep last night but I'm getting really tired this afternoon. I think my momentum was trashed waiting for the TV installer to arrive, and I can't really do much while he's here. I hope to go to the gym tonight and I want to get a nap in beforehand.
Well it's all taken care of now and I have TV once again. Just looking at the remote and the choices gives me a slight headache! I can record programs but I can't skip commercials, except for the ones on recorded programs. I turned off the set right now and may check it out later this evening.
All the energy I had a few hours ago to get things done, has now faded away. No big deal, really. What I didn't do today I can always do tomorrow - as long as I don't turn that TV on first thing in the morning!
- Ring-ring!
Yes, my phone is still ringing but I just ignore it. A suggestion to block 800 calls wouldn't work, as a lot of the calls have the local area code. I should call ATT to see if I can stop the service. They are so vague and talk so...

Not finished with dental work, that is. I still need a cleaning, and that has been scheduled for May 15. It's probably what I dread most, all that scraping just drives me crazy but it needs to be done. The dentist called me yesterday to...
- Ok, Energy. I'm Waiting For Ya!
I got another B-12 shot this morning, and hope this one will give me some energy for doing things. The last one just made it so I didn't need a nap several times a day. After getting the shot I went to Costco to get COQ10, which replaces what...

I have about one week left until my cable tv is cancelled, and lo and behold I again have the Science Channel. DirecTV removed it from my service, then told me it was in another package and I would have to pay additional to get it. So I get...
