So instead of napping yesterday while Tater Tot napped, even though I seriously needed to, I took on the frustrating task of reconnecting the Tivo to our crappy old (OLD) one coaxial cable input TV so that I could record season premieres next week. I figured, if we aren’t going to have our good TV back, I’m at least going to be able to record shows so I don’t have to stay up too late and so I can pause, rewind, and fast forward through the commercials! It’s a little thing but it’s nice to have all of our TV functions on one remote again, too. Before I figured out how to reconnect the Tivo so we could just use the Tivo remote, we had to use one remote to turn it on and another one to change channels and the volume. For a while there until we figured out which remotes controlled what, we had to manually change the channels (gasp!). And, no, The Daddy is of no help in the electronic arena. Pretty much useless (sorry, Honey…).

The thing is, if you look in the Tivo user’s manual, it doesn’t look hard to set up the Tivo. Except that it doesn’t work the way it’s supposed to with our TV. We need an RF modulator, apparently, so I had to translate what the user’s manual said to figure out how to run it through the RF modulator. I finally got it to work and I did a little happy dance…just as I heard Tater Tot on the monitor. Luckily I had eaten lunch before I started on the Tivo or I would have been Cranky Mommy.

Friday it will be three weeks since I had the cervical biopsy. I’m trying to be patient but it seems like my OB/GYNs office in particular takes an awfully long time to notify me of my results. Last time it was a month and I called them. Apparently someone had been on vacation or something so they were backlogged. While I understand that people vacate, it’s still annoying to have to wait that long. And, yes, I am the Center of the Universe. But really, I am trying to NOT call them and to be patient enough for them to call me but it’s hard. I mean, I know I’m going to have to have the LEEP procedure at least but it would be nice to know… I was about to type “…it would be nice to know if I have cancer.” Huh. That doesn’t sound quite right. I mean more that I’d like to know what’s going on with my body. To be prepared for what’s next. To not have “test results” hanging over my head.

Maybe it’s not so bad that they haven’t called me. Maybe I really don’t want to know right now. Maybe I just need to let it go and enjoy my life until I find out what the heck comes next. Enjoy my little slice of the universe and resolve myself to think positively no matter what the outcome is. And, on that note, I’m off to work on my “Office Project”! I’ve finished the shelving on the other side of the closet and now I’m working on figuring out what goes where in what container. I’ll post pics when I’m done! I have before, during AND after from this side of the closet! (Exciting, I know…)
