Yeah, Tom regularly blows up the screen -- larger, not with a big bang. The light on dark doesn't work, but I changed some colors for him (months ago) and that helped him be able to see things. I also googled a simple fix for the cursor problem -- and learned how to make the pixels larger in the cursor so IT'S larger and he can see it.

Got the walkie-talkie problem ironed out. Turns out our neighbors up the hill got a similar pair of 2-ways over the weekend and I was picking up their transmissions just fine in our living room. After a bit of back and forthing, they changed the channel they were communicating on. I wonder if we'd have had this problem with a baby monitor...

Tom is sooooooo pleased to be home. Last night he got the best night's sleep he's gotten in over seven weeks. He's a little frustrated that cooking is not that easy for him from a wheelchair, so I'm doing most of the cooking for awhile and letting him do what he can. (Such as grate the romano for tomorrow's dinner...)

I'd love to loll in bed tomorrow morning, but the VNA will be back tomorrow morning to get the release form from Langdon Harbor that was on top of the pile of papers on my side of the table, but Tom couldn't see well enough to even look for. Ah well. The earlier (after I get back from paying the mortgage and other errands) I can start on the major demolition and reconstruction of that room the better. And, besides pulling two large pieces of cubic footage out of that room for deaccessioning, I'll be able to FIND the other boxed antique-ish things that we can call in a dealer to take a look at.

Now all I have to do is get another decent night's sleep tonight...

De-accessioned a deckload of flower pots and planters yesterday, but I have to call my friend who took them away and tell her she grabbed 4 planters under the deck that I wanted to keep.
