Watching - Letting the person in front of me decide what I eat for 24 hours, videos on YouTube.

Sipping coffee, listening to John Denver, getting ready to work out, thinking about what to wear to work.

Working? Using that term lightly, it's a very slow day in my office. Chatting with a colleague about our textiles club and when we will meet again. Looking like maybe Sunday!

Trying to drown out the loud ass tv...

My dad is hard of hearing and refuses to get a hearing aid.

Wearing hearing aids is not fun. There are reasons some kids at schools for the deaf kick them around like hacky sacks. Maybe closed captioning would help. There are subscription services that are better than the freebie captioning you can get without a plan for some shows. I don't know about all sets but mine is older and has the get freebie captioning for some shows option. It can be set by remote control to turn that feature on/off so you don't always have to have it on. New the set I have cost me around $300.00 but now sells at Walmart for half that price and there are even less expensive ones. I think all newer TV sets have it now. Craigslist is sometimes an option. My son gets all his television sets for a good price off there every time he upgrades and so far has had really good luck with that. Also I'm not sure who does it, or if they even do it anymore but it used to be if you needed assistive devices you could sometimes get them on loan or with grants. I don't have that info but below are some links to sites where someone might know more about this. Maybe turning it up is helping him now but later if his ability to hear changes he might need some further help to get full enjoyment out of watching his favorite shows. Sometimes people will be persuaded by asking what about the neighbors, kids, grand kids, pets in the home. Anyhow perhaps you already know all of this or more than I do but still for future readers who might not know anything at all, it's good information to have out there, and at least a place to start.
