Bad air morning so no Target shopping. But there was football all day. Somehow I don't get 49ers games here. No idea why. So I watched Atlanta give away a game to Dallas in the last seconds by an incredibly stupid on-side kick mistake. Half the team just stood and watched a slow moving spinning ball which they should have jumped on before it went 10 yards. instead, they waited till it went 10 yards and Dallas fell on it. And then scored.

Seattle almost did the same thing with New England in the night game, but managed to stop them at the 1 yard line.

The Steelers played a craptastic game but still won.

And there were lots of games I don't get here.

Frozen meal for lunch, hot dogs for dinner.

Visited Heidi a few times, she makes moves to want out, but when I open the door she doesn't go. Spook is usually nearby. So I'm keeping the door closed. Built Heidi a FB page but can't find it from mine.

Delivered was the 2019 version tablet. It's a FAIL. Instead of the modern, impossible to plug in backwards USB C connector it has a trapezoidal mini connector, which is a PIA to plug in. It also meant I had to go wi-fi to transfer from the 2017 tablet, because they don't use the same kind of cable.

It did an okay job of transferring, my desktop looks almost the same. It did mess up the webcam app. It only gave me the meow cam not the hall cam. Easy to fix manually but I'd backed up those settings. No idea what happened to them.

Also delivered was my new cash reward BofA card, which will replace the useless Travel Rewards card which only rewards for hotels, car rentals and air travel. I set the new card to reward online shopping. And used it to order a pair of floor fans which are supposedly quiet (and still voice controllable). And a fancy wi-fi enabled thermostat. 10 am one of the companies left voicemail which Home Adviser found to install that. I left a note on their FB messages that I'll let them know when the unit arrives. Their web site contact page is broken.

Streamed. Good conversations.

Listening to Sirius XM's Broadway channel. They keep playing pop numbers from biopics and bioshows about pop singers. Highly annoying. Those are not show tunes. And there is far too much Streisand.

Hauled the huge boxes from the chair and vacuum out to the curb. Garbage & recycle bins too.  It is cooler tonight. 80's.

Plans for tomorrow:
10% chance of rain
Target
MNF is the first NFL game in Las Vegas

The usual breakfast, Hgl was way high. Probably because at 3 am I was in front of the TV with chocolate milk watching 90 Day Fiance.

They wrapped up a lot of things by FF 3 months past quarantines. Kalani's marriage went from solid to trash. Syngin got on the plane with his wife to return to frigid CT. Andrei didn't punch out Charlie. Colt is still a castrati with a mother who thinks he's her baby. And she's a pedophile. Angela got to say goodbye to her mom before she (Mom)  died. Michael is stuck in Nigeria because the US embassy has shut down the visa office because of the plague. He can't even get a tourist visa. Eric loves Larissa's oversized breasts almost as much as she does. But he should have hired a nurse.

Woken up at 6 am by a spam call which I didn't answer. 7 am the thermostat installer woke me again, he'll call Wednesday to find out of the thermostat is going to arrive i time to schedule a Friday installation. It has not shipped yet. The quiet fans have.

BB&B instead of Target, found the right chair pillow quickly. Bought 2 because one is just 14" square and the chair seat is 14x18.

Home, Heidi was yelling to get out, so I let her go into my room. Spook was not far behind. I stayed long enough to see Heidi was not going to be hurt, and then went to watch storm chasers on Twitch and then MNF on Tivo. After a while the artifacts were too bad to watch the game on the recording so I changed to the live broadcast. It also had artifacts but not as many. Which is when I remembered that anything watched on Tivo gets cached on its hard drive. So I need to look into replacing that. I have a link somewhere.

CVS says a prescription I don't really need yet is ready to pick up. Maybe tomorrow.

Raiders won their first home game. Defense was sloppy, and play calling was downright stupid. Fortunately the Saints went to sleep in the 4th quarter. MNF announcers are especially annoying so I kept the sound muted. So I don't know how well they did the fake crowd noise. Seahawks last night did that well.

The game was over at 8:25, so I joined the BASFA zoom meeting, but they were wrapping up. I tried staying late for the hangout, but one guy with ADHD wouldn't shut up so I left.

Streamed for an hour, had a few listeners.

Bulk garbage was collected early, regular & recycled was late.

Lots of clouds in the sky, high winds, but the rain missed us by a couple of miles. :-(

Ordered canvas photos from CVS. The place I ordered from 2 months ago still has not printed them.

Heidi ended up curled up in the corner of the bathroom, long after Spook moved to the front room. I had to push her out to her room.

Plans for tomorrow:
Maybe CVS
Maybe find a more comfortable office chair
I should probably arrange to get the screen doors replaced. Home Depot? Home Advisor?
