OOPS!

I totally forgot to post here yesterday. Sorry about that! I was distracted by Roku! When I started using the new remote that my friend got with the 'new' Roku he got me, the same issues I had with the old one were there. That meant it was never the remote, it was the Roku itself. I knew it had been wonky on other issues too. I decided to give the 'new' one a try. I factory reset it and logged in to my account. Luckily it downloaded all my stuff from the old box so I didn't have to re-add channels. I did have to log in to everything, but that was okay. I got it all set up. The only problem with the 'new' box is that the power cord did NOT want to stay connected. Whoever had it before me was not careful with it and the power cord wouldn't stay connected. I fixed it with a rubber band and I haven't had a bit of trouble since. I have even been able to move it around without the cord coming unhooked. The 'new' box is nice, but it gave me the new Hulu interface and I absolutely HATE it. I am not the only one it seems after doing a Google search! I wish there was a way to change it back. It's not intuitive at ALL.
I've gotten in my walk every day this week. I did some more NaNo prep today. I went through the tutorial in Scrivener so I would know it better. I'm glad I did because I understand some things more clearly now. I also learned how to covert my files into an ebook format! I put my last two years books in their own separate files in Scrivener and imported them as Kindle ebooks. I loaded them to my Kindle with Calibre. Now I can read them anytime. This is also good so I can re-read them and take notes before NaNo. Plus, it's cool to have my own ebook on my Kindle. :^)
The weather app on my phone said that it is a 100% chance of rain tomorrow. D'oh! If it is raining, I will skip my walk because it will be rainy and cold. Not a good combination. As Sweet Brown would say, "Ain't nobody got time for that!" If it does rain, I'll take the day off to re-read my first two books and take notes for this years. I still have a little research to do on things that I'll have in this book. I need to do that also. I also have three letters I need to write. I'll probably do all that tomorrow while drinking lots of coffee!
