Those of you who are my regular readers will remember that we purchased a new television over the weekend. While this is good news, and we are thrilled beyond measure with our Christmas gift, we have run into a little problem.
You see, the TV is a 2011 model, our satellite box is a 2010 model, the DVD is a 2008, the VHS is a 2004 and the receiver is from 1995! So, where does this leave us? In a pickle!
I spent part of Sunday trying to get everything all connected and all I seemed to accomplish was locating an awful lot of dust in our TV cabinet.
I broke out the dust rag and a bucket of clean water and started cleaning. I worked and worked and I thought I’d done a pretty good job with the cleaning.
Monday morning when Hubby left to go and ski, I decided to take an hour and “hook up” the receiver. I opened the cabinet and there was almost as much dust as their had been before. This did not make me feel very good!
Actually there was less, but I had to use a dust gripping cleaner and cloth, and just finish, but after that I still could not figure out the system of connecting the home theater. (Several frustrating hours were spent trying!)
Shoot!
As Hubby was gone all day, I stopped torturing myself with the TV Sound System and started doing the Christmas cleaning and laundry. I made great headway with both, and about 4:30 sat down with a cup of tea, telling myself that I really didn’t want to make dinner.
Too tired!
However, I kept going and tossed a couple of white sweet potatoes in the oven, washed the spinach and when the time was right, grilled the meat, and boy, was that a good meal!
Things still need to be sorted out with the wiring, but I think I will wait until after Christmas. I do not want to torture myself and lose sleep. I need to sit back, and relax and allow the Christmas spirit to come upon me.
Songs, food simmered over a warm stove and the love and caring of my family and friends.
How wonderful!
