Fortunately, I've got my doggie, Una, who has been tending to me in her doggie way: giving me concerned looks and occasionally licking my face as I lie in bed, tossing and turning.
On an unrelated subject, does anyone know anything about TiVo or DVR devices? I've been using VHS tapes to time-shift my favorite shows, but I can't watch them in my office, where the TV/VCR combo is now just a TV with a vestigial VHS slot. I'd love to have something I could use upstairs, either with this TV or with an inexpensive new one (since I figure that's way cheaper than buying a laptop).
