But I am SUPER bouncy.
So, my sister-the-Luddite was thinking she needed a whole new tv to watch Disney+ because her Blu-Ray player won't get it. (It's a Sony. There is no love between Sony and Disney.) So we went to Best Buy. They had NO tvs below 32 inches, which is rather bigger than she wanted and honestly, both her tv and Blu-Ray player are still perfectly good. And I wasn't thinking, "why worry about the tv, just get a new blu-ray player, it's cheaper."
But as we were walking around, I stopped in one aisle, struck by a call from a shelf. And I looked over. Google Chromecast. On the other side of the aisle, Roku and Fire TV were yelling at me. And it hit me: why not get one of these, which are MUCH cheaper, and mean she doesn't have to get rid of electronics? So she decided on the Google Chromecast. (She couldn't decide because the Chromecast was what gave us the idea, but the Roku comes in a purple box and we hadn't researched any of it.) Neither of them need a monthly subscription, though, so that's a plus. We decided...I decided to get the Google one, and if it didn't work, exchange it for the purple box. (Don't you love how we make uninformed decisions?)
Got it back to her place after grocery shopping, and I hooked it up and we figured out extension cords to get it plugged in, and turned it on. And waited while it downloaded updates. And got the Google Home app for her phone. And then I rearranged her phone desktop so she knows where everything she uses is. It was bugging me. And we finally got her all hooked up so she can watch the few streaming services she has on her tv instead of her computer. SUCCESS! (Disney+ took some finagling and she was so frustrated that she almost returned the damn thing but I wouldn't let her and just kept at it. And it worked!)
Then I came home and spread dropcloths on the floor and started painting my finally-sanded dresser after three effing months of rain after I bought it! I have it turned upside down so I can get the bottom without bending over, and I'll be installing felt pads on the bottom before I have my son turn it right side up so I can get the rest. (Side panels and drawers will be Unicorn Spit. Because I wanna.)
I have painted my hands and one of my arms and I'm happy as a pig dipped in shit. And I still have Sunday to play!
Also, that Meatball Master came, which means there may be meatballs sometime soon, or I might not because painting is consuming me.
