There's a lesson to be learned here...
...but I'm not real sure what it is.
I want to finally start doing some of the exercise videos kindly lent to me by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
roya_spirit. She also loaned me a spiff little TV/VCR combo on which to play said videos. So yesterday morning I arose early, pulled on workout clothes, set up the TV, rolled out my yoga mat and popped in a tape. Wasn't rewound. OK, next tape. Needed rewound. No rewind button on the TV, and the remote was nowhere to be found. Forty-five minutes and a pot of coffee later, I found the remote.
At that point, I didn't have time to exercise, but I had extra time to get ready, so: skirt, makeup. I received three compliments on how pretty I looked, all absolutely out of the blue. I might have felt pudgy, but apparently I looked great.
I had plans to rise at 6:00 this morning to make great use of said remote, but that didn't happen. I had horrible nightmares that woke me up three times (for the third at 4:30 a.m., I woke up screaming--I hope I didn't scare the neighbors) and it took me nearly an hour to fall asleep after that. Ugh. What a shitty night. I don't recall dreams very often, but when I have 'em, they can be doozies.
Oh my goodness, I just had the most fascinatingly androgynous person pop in to ask me a question. I won't go into details (because I don't feel like locking this post), but how swishingly, charmingly, gender-fuckingly wonderful.
OK, that lightens the mood a little bit before I delve into something that, like PMS, always catches me by surprise this time of year. One of my friends, in a locked post, mentioned how something always happens at this time of year to get her down. It reminded me that I have a difficult time with winter, but somehow I always forget. I used to have to go on Wellbutrin to get me through winter. Thankfully, thyroid meds have mostly eliminated that need. But still, I find that things I deal with during the rest of year weigh heavily on me when the days get short. I dwell, I fret, I'm easily angered, etc. etc. It helps to remember why things are bothering me so much. It's just "that time." And "that time" will pass soon enough.
Breathe. Get over it.
Breathe. Get over it.
Breathe. Get over it.
Words to live by.

Remotes need to be taped to stored objects. Boy, do I know THAT one.
Eye candy always rocks.
Seasons change, but damn the transitions. I try looking at lots of cool leaves and such, but it doesn't help much either. I miss the green.

I'm going to make a little holster for it, to hang off the TV.

It's not really a VCR. It's a VCR/TV built together thing. It kinda reminds me of an overgrown Mac SE.

I was pretty sure your link was going to be to a picture of a 10 foot pole. Those can press all kinds of buttons, and they're REALLY hard to lose.

It might not even be the brand I;m looking for, but you can enter all your electronic gear into a database, and then download all the codes into it.
It even scans to see what's wrong when you turn on something that doesn't work, AND you only need the one for any room in the house. Instead of remembering damn 'launch sequences', you just enter "record TV show" or "watch movie" and it automatically turns on the proper equipment and sets it.
Brilliant!
