T-shirt quilt progress

It was a busy weekend. Saturday I headed out to go to the bulk food store to get some staples for the winter. I got organic oatmeal, organic raisins, and a bunch of spices so I could make more taco seasoning.
I also took my expensive prescription sunglasses back while I was back in my home turf. I was still seeing double on the left and I could not wear them to drive. I tried to make them work, but no success. They got me set up with another pair that were not wrap around in style. Apparently with my prescription which is very strong, the wrap arounds are harder to get the prescription doable. The next pair are a flat pair kind of like my regular glasses. I worked on the t-shirt quilt and the layout was given the ok by the fellow having me make this.
Sunday I spent about 6 hours cleaning and straightening up. I got lunch on the stove for company. My son showed up with a Roku stick for the upstairs TV and got everything set up. Now I just have to figure out how to work it. I have never had a working TV in my living room since I have lived here. That is going on 22 years.  Ugh.  I pretty much live downstairs in the studio. It will be nice to have a TV upstairs so I can have it on while I work in the kitchen; I can see it from there. Right now I just have a small 32" TV, but with some kind of perks he gets at work, he said he can get me a good price on a bigger one.  he said he would watch and let me know.
In the afternoon my company spotted this buck chilling out in the backyard. He was a big deer.
Jackie B. google did something to blogger and you came up as a no-reply. Planting the daffodils is a wonderful idea. I already have lots of them, but I will have to keep that in mind as something to look forward to as the possible chaos takes over. I am preparing for the worst case to protect myself as best I can. I guess that gives me something else to think about. Take care! You can always shoot me an email pattynubs at gmail dot com. We need to build a community of support so we can get thru this.

we have a Fire stick - i know how to watch YouTube with it, but i realized yesterday that i've forgotten how to navigate anything else ... guess that tells you how i've used my screen time for the past few months - don't think i'll ever go back to main stream news ... Legal AF had some videos that were not ALL gloom and doom - thanking our better angels for other perspectives...

I really hate to have to learn one more thing about how to watch TV. It was bad enough adjusting to the smart TVs and I still don't know everything about them.
I'm glad your neighbor was happy with the layout. Now you can move full steam ahead.

I had a similar problem with sunglasses once and it had to do with the color of the lenses! They could not get the prescription right with the color I wanted to change to. Had to go back to the original color.
