Blatant Consumerism
Jun. 16th, 2020 12:09 am( The penultimate bits of the router saga )
I looked over the offerings, picked the one that seemed best, ruled out the "gaming" model which sported an entire 8 ethernet ports (for a handsome $100+ more than the 4 port model), and delivered my recommendation. Alex poked and found the site that was price-matching The Bad Place.
And so, quailing slightly at the price, Belovedest bought the new router, and soon our unhappy days of the network dunking up and down like a frantic tea ball will be at an end.
( Mattress!!! )
The mattress was rolled, then folded, and the whole operation shrink-wrapped. Belovedest and I unrolled it, unfolded it, debated which way was up, rotated it, and let it inflate. I didn't get video, alas. Getting the plastic out from under was another small operation, and then we got the new, deep-pocketed sheets on. I fell over. It was comfortable.
I popped out long enough to let Belovedest determine that the plywood was doing more harm than good, since the mattress was smaller than the wood, and there followed an interlude that I am pleased to have not been in the way of. I resumed my flomp after some lunch-ish items, and only poked my head out when it got dark out. Guide Dog Aunt was pleased that she'd been able to give me such a thoughtful birthday present. It's a nice item for a milestone birthday. I explained the thing to![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
norabombay, and may have sold her on it.
We will have to finish deploying the rest of the blankets before bed.
