Generally speaking, I have not had much luck winning any of the many Christmas-time contests. Finally, I broke the losing streak by winning a 24" Monitor from ViewSource.
I cannot download an image for some reason, but it is nice, and my daughter, who works from home twice a week, is excited.
I tried hard to win my son tickets to the Super Bowl, but no luck.
I have a major birthday this month, 75 yo. We are having a Mexican Food Birthday Buffet at my son's house.
I have had a particularly hard time hearing at my son's house because of the open ceiling to the second floor and the tile flooring. I will get to try out my new hearing aids there. Since my son bought them for me, I really hope they will allow me to hear conversations there.
I've turned off all the news pages I used to read online. I know it's wrong to play ostrich when things aren't going your way, but I am truly afraid for our country's future.
I swiped this from Debra's post on Aliens because this is exactly how I'm feeling.
More later ...
Congrats on the win. And Happy birthday. I'll be curious how your hearing aids work. I really need to do something but I keep putting it off. I seldom listen to news or read about it anymore. Just can't.
ReplyDeleteWinning that monitor makes up for the long dry spell, and you're not the only one playing Ostrich. Sometimes it's all we can do in order to protect our physical and mental health.
ReplyDeleteA win, a milestone birthday, and a nice alien abduction -- you're a lucky gal!
ReplyDeleteThe monitor was a nice win. Too bad about the tickets. Hope the hearing aids work out well at your son’s home. Seventy-five is a milestone for sure. I wish you a great year ahead. Early birthday wishes!
ReplyDeleteHard surfaces are a killer for sound! My daughter has the open ceiling to 2nd floor too, and also stained cement floors. When her 5 kids were small, the decibel level was difficult for me. She recently added velvet drapes which has helped somewhat too.
