Bini update: Finally talked to the vet and she predictably said that I should get a urine sample and bring it in. I'm going to see if there's another puddle under the box that I can pick up with a syringe, otherwise I'll have to get the special litter stuff. AFAIK, he hasn't peed anywhere else lately *knock furiously on wood* but I don't want to let it go. So, yet another item for my to-do list...
TiVo update: I called Sony and the first guy didn't want to help me without getting my name, phone #, and address. I said I wasn't giving him that info and to give me a manager. I got transferred around a whole bunch and spent a lot of time on hold. *roll eyes* But finally I did get someone, and the guy said it sounded like a dead hard drive and that I would have to ship it to them for repairs, and should fill out an online form to find out how much it would cost. So I filled out the form and it said the flat-fee rate is $150.
So, for $150 plus the cost of shipping it to Pennsylvania, they'll either fix it or tell me it can't be fixed. Or for $140 plus free shipping, weaknees.com will send me a new hard drive with all the instructions and equipment to install it myself. AND it'll be an 80G drive whereas I currently have a 30G. Sounds like a no-brainer, eh? I just have to call weaknees and make sure that this will solve my problem. From looking at their website I'm about 90% sure that it will.
Isaac update: He had a really good day with his grandma today! Yay. And he went to sleep fairly easily. Tomorrow he has his 15-month checkup at which I expect to be told that everything is great. :)
Flake update: I remembered what it was that I wanted to go to today -- the "grand opening" of the new Super Stop & Shop near me. OK, laugh at me, I can take it. It was great! I love a big clean grocery store, unlike the icky dingy Shaw's nearby. Anyway, I went WAY overboard and bought just a ton of unnecessary stuff, alas ... but hopefully it's all good and we'll eat it and be happy. Still, I came home and was unpacking and was like, "WTF was I thinking???" Violating the First Rule of Shopping will do that to ya.
OK, I think that's all the update-y-cakes for now. Shana Tovah and goodnight!
