TV

This was the look on Mom's face most of the day yesterday.  She has not gotten out of bed since last Saturday, and while I tell her that if she got up more she would not be so stiff and sore.  She is ridiculously stubborn and if she refuses, that's that. I suppose I could force her, but I imagine that scene would be pretty ugly, so I am racking my brain for ideas to entice her out of bed...lol, maybe I should unplug the TV.

Last weekend, I was cleaning the living room and when we had cable installed the week before, the cable guy made a God Almighty mess of my organized cords and plug strips. I was having an, I can't deal with this right now moment, so I just shoved everything back behind the living room TV and moved on. Nary a minute passed and I heard Mom yelling from the other room. I rushed right in there to find her TV had been disconnected.  I laughed because I have been asking Mom to yell for me if she needs something.  I got her a bell, but she has not rung that yet, and just laughs at me when I regularly suggest it. I have a baby monitor as well, so I can hear her and I tell her if you don't want to ring the bell, just yell for me I can hear you. I was amused that the TV was the first reason she found dire enough to yell for me.

I told her I was sorry and crawled behind the TV to fix the problem, thinking that's what I get for being lazy, lol.  All was well within minutes.
