"My wife watches Wednesday on the bedroom TV. I'm a "captive" observer. I put the TV in after she had a major surgery in July 2007."

I hope her health remains well. I had 4 abdominal surgeries within 5 years between 2010-2015. I saved all my surgeries up for my old age. I wear headphones and watch programs on my laptop while he's watching TV. I have a TV in my room, but never watch it. When my oldest son visits, he stays in my room, and has the TV to watch if he wants to. I prefer to read from my Kindle before I turn the light out at night.

In case you don’t know… there’s an app called LibriVox. From it, you can download thousands of free audiobooks. They’re all in the public domain, so there is no charge.

I like the old-time radio shows. There are also classic novels, history books, etc. all read by volunteers.

In addition to putting the flat screen TV on the wall for my wife, I repaired the air conditioner. She loves to knit as well. Between knitting, TV and caring for the pets, she has plenty going on. The major surgery in 2007 was followed by breast cancer with surgery/radiation in 2014, then a seizure and type 1 diabetes in 2019. The diabetes comes with a continuous glucose monitor, and insulin pump and a phone app to manage both. The joys of alarms going off for high and low glucose impacts the quality of sleep for both of us.

My "office" is in the basement. I spend much of my day there with an infrared space heater and heating pad to stay warm. My wife is up on the 2nd floor knitting or watching TV. We head out for lunch or dinner and hang out with the pups in the backyard when the weather permits.
