First of all, I need to set the stage and remind you all that I have a history with electronic devices. And it isn't a good history. From the time I got my first computer, and it took 157 sign-ins before I could actually connect with the internet until today's debacle with the remote, I have always had unusual experiences. I can't even count the number of times that internet technicians have said to me, "I've never seen this happen before!!!
Every once in a while I visit a psychic for a card reading. (Doesn't everyone?) She was very quick to point out that I probably had trouble with this very thing. She said it was a sign of my powerful intuitive aura and electrical field or some such magical explanation.
My children would be the first to tell you that this is true. They will not let me use their computers or their phones.
So, today, I had a little mishap with the tv remote. I hardly touched it, but it wouldn't play nice. Finally, after a lot of exasperation, John was able to get it back to where it was supposed to be. I won't say that I have been banned completely from the remote, but I don't think the tv and I will be on very good terms for a while. It occurred to me that our first fight just might be about a television.
Actually, things are going really well. There isn't any trouble here. I just thought it made a good title. Of course, there are so many changes in both our lives. Being a newlywed after many years of marriage, followed by several years of being alone, is bound to have some adjustments. Learning someone else's routine is necessary. After years and years, we are used to doing everything a certain way, without really thinking about why or how. I have moved into a house where John has lived for nearly thirty years. He has raised a family, and had a wonderful, loving wife, who wasn't me. And, I too, have all my memories of another life. It will take a while before we have adjusted to living in this house together. At some point, we may decide to move, but right now this is best.
He has been so good about everything, while I am rearranging furniture, and adding my own considerable collections and personality to an already lived in and loved in space. I know it's difficult when I move something away from where it's always been, but he is always cheerful about it. Well, almost always. There is that little thing with the remote.
The remote control is a headache for sure ...I roof ours often and give to Gene to fix which sometimes is a quick fix and sometimes not 🤔! And the furniture issue...well -- as a new bride I use to rearrange furniture --- first incident was with the lazy boys and the sofa sorta got reversed oops! He all most landed on the floor

Happy Thanksgiving to you two this special time of the year.

Oh you made me smile then. I am utterly useless with the remote. It's definitely Tony's area of expertise
ReplyDeleteOh I so get this, Sandi. I haven't brought any of my 'collections' to Jim's home. He gave me space in his (heated & cooled) workshop for my crafts/art stuff but I rarely get out there. I don't know if we'll ever marry so perhaps I won't ever integrate my 'things' with his. And I think I'm ok with that. Time will tell.
