Monday this and that

Back to Monday again. It's really foggy out this morning, but supposed to clear off and be sunny and 75 today. It even feels a little chilly upstairs in my office this morning. I decided to turn the heat on a little. Mrs Neighbor brought over a little bouquet of her yard flowers yesterday while I was gone visiting my mom. Probably the last of those for the season. 

I watched a couple of movies this weekend/evenings. The first one was Father Stu and I liked that one. Last night I watched The Lost City, which was ok and funny. I've always liked Sandra Bullock. But it was one of those movies where my streaming kept buffering and then their voices were getting offtrack with their lips. So annoying. It did seem to finally stop doing that part way through the movie.

Dh has a tv out in his shop that he streams his YouTube premium subscription through. I have a Firestick attached to the tv for the streaming. On Saturday it kept disconnecting from our wi-fi. I'm not sure what I did to get it working. I kept trying different things, unplugging, restarting our modem, etc. I had restarted the firestick and it still wasn't working and I was googling the problem on my phone and it suddenly reconnected. Then about 20 minutes later it disconnected again. Same thing, I have no idea what worked to connect it. I'm thinking something was glitchy with our internet service, as at that point I looked at my phone and instead of being on wi-fi it was on LTE. The hard part is not knowing what is/was causing it. If it's the Firestick itself wearing out, I can easily get a new one, but I don't want to buy another one if there is nothing wrong with it. I guess the only way to tell would be to bring the tv into the house and see if it keeps doing it. The firestick/tv in the house was working fine.

One evening last week my mom called me a couple of times about some "confirmation" she had from her (old) investment company. That was the evening she seemed extra confused and wasn't making much sense. Then she mentioned this confirmation (You are enrolled in e-delivery) again the next morning and I told her I'll look at it next visit. Well.....apparently she took papers out of her file cabinet and this is something from 2017! So, next trip I need to start bringing home the papers from her file cabinet, I guess. 

I tried a vanilla yogurt (Two Good) with only 2 grams of sugar, but after a few bites I wasn't liking it. So, back to my Activia vanilla yogurt that has too much sugar. 12 grams. Well, my store trip yesterday they substituted a lower calorie Activia vanilla yogurt that only has 6 grams of sugar. It's still not as good as the other one, LOL, but it's an ok compromise between the one that tastes best and the one kind with only 2 grams of sugar. I'll eat it. I'm also going to switch to the Carnation Instant Breakfast with artificial sweetener instead of sugar. I've used it before, years ago and the only reason at the time, I switched back to regular, was I was pinching every dime and there were less packets per box, at same cost. I drink this most mornings (if I'm not now having yogurt) so this will be a good way to cut down more sugar.

I made enchiladas for dinner last night, so we will have that for leftovers tonight. Makes Monday easy after working all day.  

Kitty is starting to extend his time sleeping with me when I go to bed at night. He made it until midnight last night. As long as I put the throw blanket he likes down next to me, he will lay down and sleep next to me awhile now.
