Ashes to Ashes finally started airing here on Saturday. I liked it ok, but it's not as good as Life on Mars so far. I'm going to give it a chance, though. I really like the cast and I think it's going to turn out to be good once they get away from the main character analyzing her situation so much. It sure was a long wait for it to air here! I don't know why it took them so long. I'd started to think they'd decided not to air it here. It premiered on February 7, 2008, so we had to wait over a year for it. Just a side note, for those who aren't familiar with David Bowie's music, the blog title is a line from his song entitled Ashes to Ashes on the Scary Monsters album.

So, the site is back to not functioning properly when I'm at work which means I can only read stuff during the day. It's so frustrating. I should stop hoping it's going to work from there. At first I thought it was the site, but now I'm not so sure. It may be the blocking software they use on the network. I think that doesn't always work as it should so stuff they want blocked isn't always blocked. I think the software thinks this is a streaming site sometimes, so parts of it get blocked. At any rate, I'm posting this from MT because that site isn't blocked. If you see that I've logged in, but I haven't dealt with my queue, this is why.

I've been watching Dollhouse. I like it, but I don't love it. I think it's just a slow starter, though. The A plot is not all that strong, but the B and C plots are what have drawn me in and are keeping me interested.

Hubby is having surgery on his foot on Thursday, March 12. I don't know exactly what that means for my internet time, but I would imagine it will be reduced. He's not permitted to do much for 4 to 6 weeks until it's healed, so I'll have to do all the cooking and cleaning since he won't be able to help at all. Plus, I'll still be going to work every day.

Our rose bushes died. They got scale and they had it for so long before we figured out they had it that it killed them. Well, they weren't completely dead yet, but they had a large amount of dead wood and wood boring insects had even gotten to them. I've never seen rose bushes with lichen on them before, but it's pretty much too late for them once that happens. We were going to get new bushes Saturday and get them planted before hubby's surgery, but that didn't happen. We'll probably have to wait until next year since it's going to be too hot to plant them by the time his foot's healed. I'm sad that we lost the ones we had, but we did enjoy them while we had them. We didn't pick them either and we wouldn't have picked the ones that were chosen anyway, so maybe it's best. Now, we can pick exactly what we want instead of relying on someone else's opinion.

Geoffy (our 14 year old cat) is sick. In the last couple of days, his pupils won't contract properly. He's agitated and can't see very well. I'm worried because I've never seen this before. Hubby did some research and found it might be high blood pressure. If that's the problem, it's treatable. If something else is causing the high blood pressure, things might be worse. I sure hope it's not anything worse, but it could be since he's 14. His sister, Moochy, started getting sick last year when she was 14 and she didn't last but a few months. Anyway, hubby's taking him to the vet this afternoon and we should know more then. I just hate having to wait. It was the fastest we could get an appointment without it being an emergency. Since he's eating normally and doesn't appear to be in pain, we didn't think it was an emergency.

Hmm, this is a pretty long blog. I haven't said this much in quite awhile. I hope everyone has a good week.

Update
Hubby's back from the vet. Geoffy's completely blind due to having detached retinas. I heard cats adapt well to going blind, but I didn't realize just how well. He can still jump up on things without a problem. In fact, that's why we thought he still had some vision. We still don't know if he has a issue that caused the detached retinas, though. The vet is going to run some tests on his blood to find out and we won't have an answer until tomorrow.
