Big accomplishment for today

I was awake early, did not sleep well. So I went to the Veteran's Home early. The IT guy was called in AGAIN to work on Bob's TV. Bob wants to learn to use it, but it does not stay on. I intended to go home before lunch, but IT was going to check in again. His conclusion was that there was something amiss in the "firmware" of the TV. I agreed he likely was right. I took it to Walmart--I did not have receipt or box. I have had it for almost six weeks. They still okayed the return because I had the feet, cord, remote and paperwork and they could look up the transaction on my card. I have purchased a little bit more expensive television, and managed to go back to the home and drop it off. I hope it works. I am going back on Friday. I just barely managed to get home before we had severe thunderstorms move in and it got dark. Other people have found things they need help with for my "free day" tomorrow, so wish me luck.

I hope that TV works; surely it will. I’m also glad you got home before the severe thunderstorms hit. I hate thinking about you trying drive in the that. How is the physical therapy going in the veteran home for Bob?

I am glad they took it back even if you have no more the box and the receipt. This is a relief.

Good on you for getting the return done without the box or receipt, that's not always easy. Hope the new TV stays on and Bob finally gets to enjoy it. Sounds like a busy day, so good luck with tomorrow too.
