I have lots of cleaning to do before i start an in-home dog-grooming service on December 4th. I have a hard time deciding what will be less stressful: taking my dog on the bus which *she* hates, in the Winter weather, TO a grooming service or having an IN-HOME groomer, which *i* will hate, it's such a violation of my privacy. I guess i will give the in-home service a try and if i don't like the groomer i can always cancel. If she's pushy or intrusive i won't stand for it.

I cancelled the new TV service that i was so excited about. I was really looking forward to having something to amuse me over the tough Christmas holidays. But i tried several things on Netflix and didn't like any of them and i just feel it will be the same with TV, except worse, WITH commercials. Also i don't want to screw around with my Internet service and it would have meant switching providers. Also i don't want a tech in my home, i really treasure my privacy. I cancelled Netflix too.

I'll look into "screen-mirroring" devices at our local electronics store. It sounds like it's possible to "cast" content on my phone to my TV screen, which would be an improvement for cheap, about $50. When i last had cable TV service in 2018 i wasn't watching anything but soaps anyways and i can get them for free. "Days of our Lives" is hilarious, Marlena is possessed by The Devil! Again!

Soaps are funny! All My Children puts me to sleep though. Maybe because my mom watched it when I was about 4 or 5 and always fell asleep during it!
