The Eye of Sauron

I forgot to mention one aspect of the house here that is driving me crazy. Those of you that know me well understand that I'm very particular about my TV and audio/video set-up...this being the reason that I had a huge black felt drapery covering the window in our last place. I just can't stand glare on the TV; it's completely unacceptable. Well, I thought that the situation here would be okay. There was only one wall to use for the TV but there was no direct sunlight aimed at it, so it should have been fine. What I failed to factor in is the three foot long, oval glass window pattern built into the front door. It's perfectly nice, looks great from the outside, blah, blah, blah...and it blasts sun right into the center of the TV from where I sit, stranded in my recliner. We shifted the TV a little last night but that just moved the bright glow a little to the left side of the TV. I can see reflected cars and trucks from outside, but this thing is way too bright and really annoying. We have nicknamed it The Eye of Sauron because it is impossible to escape from it.

The doctor's appointment went well on Wednesday. They gave me some exercises to start doing and then I'll return for a follow-up appointment in four weeks. But for now, I'm starting to get around a little bit better. The gas guy came today (finally) so we can start cooking in the kitchen...but there is a problem with the hot water heater that the landlord will have to fix. I really hope that happens tomorrow but I may be dreaming.
