ONE.
Jerry and I caved and got cable and DVR this week. We’ve been in our house for about a year now and have done just fine with Netflix and DVDs, but Jerry really wanted to be able to watch football, and I want to be able to DVR shows, so we caved. The price was pretty good, and we can cancel at any time if we can’t afford it, so there’s that. And now I want to DVR ALL THE SHOWS. I’m a DVR addict and I am way more excited than I should be. Reality shows are my favorite (though I watch others too), and I am pumped for TLC, HGTV, Food Network, and Investigation Discovery in particular. Hell, I even started DVRing some Christmas movies… but blame the channels for showing them this early, not me! I can’t resist! Any must DVR show suggestions?! My current favorite is The Mindy Project!
TWO.
My mom will now just be working part time from home. I won’t get it into details about the circumstances about this, but I will say that Jerry and I are thrilled that Caleb will now be able to go to my mother’s when I return to work after maternity leave. We were very nervous and stressed about trying to make our schedules work since we didn’t have a steady sitter, and now that stress is gone. Jerry also works nights at the moment. He was going to be home with the baby during the day while I would be home with him at night. Now, if a day shift opportunity ever opens up, Jerry can switch to days. This will probably be a few years from now, but we’re hoping for this eventually!
THREE.
Christmas shopping started last week. Not because we’re crazy, but because we figured it would be much easier on us financially to just buy a gift every week or two. This is another huge relief!
FOUR.
Jerry and I are going to a hockey game tomorrow night! We have a pretty good local team and I haven’t been in YEARS! He’s never been, period… that’s what happens when you marry a California man! We’re meeting up with two of my best girlfriends and their significant others. It should be super fun!
FIVE.
Dakota, my pup, is dealing with some health issues. Poor guy has been in and out of the vet for months due to re-occurring itching and allergies. A couple of months ago, even though he wears a flea collar and takes a Sentinel pill every month, he got bit by a flea and had an allergic reaction. Now it’s happened again, even though it’s cold out, and he is double medicated for it. Oy! So he’s been itchy all week. I’ve been giving him Benadryl and using the same ointment from last time to try and avoid yet another vet visit, but we’ll see!
That’s five for now — see you in the next chapter.
