Machine Machinations......

Just about the time I think I can take advantage of the machine, it decides to make that impossible. After nearly two full months of peaceful coexistance, we drew The Red Screen of Doom again last night.  The machine gave us a bit of trouble the other night, and the scale needed to be reset.  But last night! Arghhhhh!

Hubby was setting up and one of the bags (eleven pounds, remember?) slipped out of his hands and landed a bit hard on the scale. So the remainder of set-up was challenging, to say the least. We had to get tech support again. Nothing we did reset the scale.  And the Doom screen popped up, this time because the internal pumps were out of sync somehow.  Forturnately, we were able to get over it, get it all reset, and make the Red Screen go away.

I suspect that we may be having trouble with the scale because of the cat.  Sometimes we don't have time to fully disassemble everything from the machine, and a nearly empty bag sits on the scale (which is also a heater) until we get the chance to pull it off - sometimes toward the end of the day. I'm guessing that the cat probably finds this a cozy place to hang out, and although she's very small for a cat, leaping from the floor to the heater/scale may lead to a pretty solid landing. 

I'd keep the cat out of the room, except that Babygirl wants her door open when she sleeps.  And since this kitty is a hider, once she's in, I can't find her, nor can I find her anywhere else to prove she isn't in there!

So we just have to keep resetting the scale as needed. And go back to meditation when the situation allows.
