Last Night Was Fun...But Not In A Good Way

Last night I had every intention of doing Episode 5 of Geezer Radio...but then life intervened. As soon as my wife got home, I had to take her to the pharmacy. She had stubbed her toe on Monday and yesterday it was still swollen and purple. I decided to take her to the local pharmacy to let the pharmacy tech take a look at it. Normally they aren't doctors qualified to look at things like that, but they do have a basic knowledge of medicine and how to treat things. He didn't look at her toe but game me some very helpful hints and ways to treat her (I think broken) toe. So, I'm in the process of taking her home (the pharmacist said taking her to the doctors office or emergency room was pointless because the toe that was injured was too small for them to do anything for) when my mother called. I told her about JedisPadme(her XBL gamertag)'s condition and she insisted upon seeing it. So I drove to her house and had my mother take a look at it, and she agreed that the doctor would do no good.

So, the wife and I went to a local gas station to get dinner (yes, I know. But it was Wawa's which is like a mini-grocery store that sells gas and hot fresh cooked sandwiches) when I got another call from my mother. She couldnt get the TV to work. I'm looking at the tool kit in my car wishing I could hurl it at my mother's old TV, break it and tell her to buy a new one. Her TV is 10+ years old and very limited on what it can do. So, I walk her through the usual steps on how to get the TV signal back on it after she unplugs it from the wall because of a lightning storm, but that doesn't work. I sigh heavily into the phone and say, "Hold on, we'll come back over and fix it for you." At this point it's 7:30 and I have no clue (but I thought I did) about how easy this was going to be fixed. I called Spark and told him everything that was going on and said that it was possible to be home in time to get the Podcast done, but wasn't sure and he told me that he was very busy yesterday also, so we cancelled the podcast for last night and re-re-scheduled for tonight.

When I got to my mother's house, I looked at the TV, opened up the panel and hit the ^ Channel button and it was fixed. The whole thing took less than a minute after I looked at the TV. I looked at my mother and then at the TV and then back to my mother and then to my wife and I said, "Let's go home." I finally got back home around 8 pm and was just too tired to call Spark and get the Podcast done.

So, long story short (too late) I aim for tonight as when the podcast will get done.
