Concerning this blog - concerning work, recreation and life in general - I remain in "take a break" mode, even if there is no break to be had, but in the past couple of days, Margie has made big improvement and so I must report it.
Yesterday, I walked into the bedroom and was most surprised to find her standing beside the bed, supported by her crutches, having risen to that position with no help from me.
And then... not immediately but very soon... she hobbled all the way out to the living room, with me slowly walking backwards in front of her in case she should begin to fall. With my help, she sat down upon the couch and I positioned the red ottoman in front of her and helped her situate her injured leg upon it. I gave her the two remotes required to control the TV. She turned it on and began to watch.
I don't have much to do with TV these days. To watch TV feels to me like a monumental waste of time and I can hardly sit through a program. In the winter, when the nights are not only dark but dominate the day, I pick out a program or two a week to try to watch when I am home, most notably the original CSI (although I pretty much lost interest after Gil left) and on Sunday nights, it has become a family tradition to watch Desperate Housewives and I do join in, mostly for the popcorn.
And occassionally, on a dark, cold, winter night, it is wonderful to cozy up to Margie on the couch and watch a video.
But I do not believe that I have watched a single program all the way through this entire summer - until tonight. Burn Notice. I watched just so that I could sit down and be with her. It was fun.
Another program followed - something with "Royal" in the title, and that is what she is watching here. But I was TV'ed out. I shot this single frame - my only frame for the entire day - with my G10 pocket camera and then came out here and put it in this blog.
So there you have it.
