Day 253: Couch (Bed) Potatoes

A laying in bed kind of day off. I tested the limits of the unstable, unsecured internet connection we have until our actual internet is to be reconnected on Monday. Instead of streaming shows for Sandra and I to watch, I had to resort to downloading in order to avoid ridiculous queuing times and audio glitching that is caused by my CPU percentage going over 20. The unstable internet made the glitching much more frequent so I would have to disconnect every time we wanted to watch something.

I had to test the waters when it came to letting Sandra know when I wanted to be alone. She wanted to keep on watching episodes of Community in my room when I was already settling in to my wind down for sleep. I don't think it was too awkward, but it is easy for me to just say yes to everything while the other person is much more limiting and I almost just went ahead with her "one more episode" request, but I didn't think it was a good pattern to start. I need my good few hours of lone time before sleep to make me feel like I still have control of this monotonous life.

I am so behind on my shows so I started trying to download them as well, but said unstable internet makes for ridiculous time estimates of completion and spending most of the day watching Community with Sandra stopped me from watching the few episodes I was able to download. I will get there and hopefully before the fall shows start to come along because I have quite a few old ones and several new ones I am interested in checking out.
