Random Friday

I would really like to get back to doing the day of the week blog posts. Like Sunday Stealing. But trying to find anything that is still active is very time consuming. I think I have the weekends covered. We’ll see.

Yesterday I got a prescription for a cane. Today I went to the local medical supply company. I was really hoping for a Hurrycane. It folds in 3 places so it’s easy to put in the car or cart at the grocery, and it’s very stable. I was borrowing my father in law’s for longer than I care to admit. Anyway, no dice. I have an old lady cane now. It’s an offset cane, which means it’s like a “C” shape at the top and it has a single foot on the end. I don’t like the “C” shape, I don’t find it comfortable and the bottom scares me. The Hurrycane has a T handle and the foot had 3 points of contact making it infinitely more stable than my new cane which has 1 point of contact. It can also stand on its own. I’m hoping I can scrape together some cash next month to buy a new Hurrycane. I’m liking the purple one. I just hope I don’t have a fall before I can get one. I thought buying from a medical supply place they would properly adjust it and explain its proper use. Nope. They showed me all about my daughter’s new nebulizer last time I was there. They weren’t busy today, so I don’t get it. I definitely used “my daughter’s Mom voice” (code for when I am super personable, polite, and somewhat chatty). The employee was polite and chatty back, but the service part of the transaction was lacking.

UPDATE:  I walked into the house with the new cane yesterday. I walked out of the house with it this morning. My spouse saw how I was walking with it and told me to go back to her Dad’s Hurrycane. I just felt unstable with the new cane and lost my balance a few times. Not a good idea.

I am currently in the process of charging and updating passwords on every darn WiFi enabled device we own. Which reminds me...laptop. If I forget, the next time I use it imma lose my mind because it won’t work. I have the Kindles all charging, why do they take so long to charge?  Ugh! The internet guy came today and apparently was ROTFL his ash off. Our modem is an antique and should have been replaced the last time we complained about horrible service. So we’ve had horrible service for at least a year because the last tech was too lazy to install a new modem. This guy took care of all the tv’s, made sure everything was working properly. My spouse said he was very thorough and chatty. I was out getting my old lady cane and picking up a few groceries while my spouse held down the fort.

Time to get back to “Veronica Mars” on Netflix. I finished up OITNB as soon as the last season came out July 26th. I do enjoy “Veronica Mars”, cuz I love Kristen Bell (She’s awesome in “The Good Place”), but I’m wanting a comedy movie or series and not having any luck finding anything I haven’t seen before or would be interested in. Loved “Schitt’s Creek”, “Kim’s Convenience”, “Ozark”. Maybe I should go back and pick up “Queen of the South”, but it’s impossible to read the subtitles. Oh well. Got any ideas for something new to watch?
