Moving vibes to DR Ginny's Rob and Mary Linda and Allie.

Getting unpacked and settled vibes, too.

DR Ginny, were you able to get used to Allie during her stay or do you still prefer a pet-free home?

Jeanne · « **Reply #62 on:** April 20, 2019, 01:19:19 PM »

I did the laundry. I know: big deal. I'm in the mood to curl up with an old movie.

Speaking of LULLABY OF BROADWAY, I have it here for this weekend's viewing.

Oh joy, traffic going through the construction area. Keith said we are taking a different route home on Monday.

We will miss her, but I don’t want a pet of our own. Never have...

It is a pretty drive along I-90.

Perfect sense.

Had a light breakfast, picked up packages, and am home now. Had a nice visit with Sandy Bainum.

And waiting to see if something is going to happen or not happen - it should be a simple thing, and yet nothing is simple anymore for reasons I will never understand.

I spent an hour at the Apple Store trying to get it - that didn't work for a really stupid reason. So, I came home and called AT&T and first got them to lower my monthly bills because I was on a really inane plan that was so over what I actually use - we did that. And then I told him my Apple Store iPhone story. So, he said I could order through AT&T without having the same problem. It's an upgrade and the Apple Store was giving me $300 for my phone plus, as it turns out, I had a nice-sized credit leftover from years ago, had it in my "Wallet" on the phone and never even knew it was there - well, over three hundred bucks. So, the new phone was basically free as was Apple Care. He originally said it would be two or three business days, but five minutes later said I'd have it between three and five. Couldn't believe that was right, but got a text from the fellows who'd be bringing it and setting it up for me.

In the text, the same problem arose - which has to do with my not having renewed my license yet - mostly due to two to three-month wait times for appointments (I kid you not) and me not having the time to go sit for four hours there. So, AT&T's unbendable policy is you have to show a government-issued photo ID. Nothing else works. But the guy was very understanding and came up with a workaround and, as luck would have it, it was easy to do. It was just a matter of adding someone as an authorized user. Sandy Bainum was here picking up CDs and visiting, so I added her, they showed up, she showed them her ID and voila. She left, I removed her as an authorized user and the new phone was here. The two boys were great - they set it up, got everything from the old phone to the new phone in all of ten minutes, most of that time devoted to updating to the latest operating system (there was an updated IOS just two days ago.

They left, I went back to the Apple Store to activate the Apple Care off my gift card credit, got a case, and now I have a new iPhone X Max. It's pretty beautiful, but it will take some getting used to as there's no home button - everything is swiping up. I've already sort of gotten used to it. So, I'll play with it and figure out the ins and outs, but it's basically the same, almost, kind of, sort of. I love new toys when they don't cost anything.

What is this page three malarky?

Good afternoon.

Laura · « **Reply #86 on:** April 20, 2019, 05:28:15 PM »

I got the new shingles shot yesterday, and as the pharmacist warned me, I am feeling mildly crappy. Not awful. Achy and tired.

Laura · « **Reply #87 on:** April 20, 2019, 05:29:13 PM »

Like Vixmom, it was soup kitchen day for me. It started with a 5 a.m. text asking if I would cook.

Laura · « **Reply #88 on:** April 20, 2019, 05:29:54 PM »

I have to go to the store yet this evening to get the stuff for my breakfast dish for tomorrow.

Laura · « **Reply #89 on:** April 20, 2019, 05:30:07 PM »

Such an exciting day!
