Four!

Waiting for cranberries to soak in syrup.

My life is fascinating.

[John G.]

I did listen to The Nutcracker and the Mouse-King this morning. I knew the girl wasn’t Clara. It was changed for the ballet. It was Maria.

[Freddie]

My life is fascinating.

It sure sounds like you've got a lot going on!

New iPhone update:

I kept futzing with this new phone, getting the same message over and over.  It also told me calling Apple Support could not speed up the process of changing my password.

I then had a crazy idea:  I used my HP laptop and logged into Apple.com.  I followed its instructions about setting up a new password, which echoed everything my phone had told me to do.  But, i tried one more time and a different password which i have no memory of assigning to Apple, and it worked.  It "took". 

I am not fully functional yet, because all my apps must complete their download now that the system knows it's "me".

Will keep you posted.

[Laura]

That's beautiful, John!  You are braver than I am!

I'm up, I'm up - eight hours of sleep.

[bk]

As I feared, nothing is going to happen today. Hopefully, Monday morning. I really don't want to write another e-mail about it.

[bk]

I guess I'll get dressed and get my dry cleaning.

[John G.]

Gratuitous post 100!

Up from a short nap

Just finished watching the Netflix documentary “Martha.”

[Jane]

Bruce, congratulations on your new car and having it home with you.

[Jane]

I would not get a two door car again.

[Jane]

From Bruce:

So, at four-thirty I finally left. I drove to the onramp to the 218 freeway east, transitioned to the 2 freeway south, and transitioned to the 134 west where, to my surprise and shock, there was no traffic. And we moved right along all the way to the off-ramp to the mail place. Amazing and appreciated.

WOW!

[singdaw]

DR John G. got buche'd. Congratulations!

[Jane]

I don't know how BK has survived this car-buying experience thus far. An ordinary mortal would have been defeated by it before now.

Buying a car is always exhausting in my opinion, even when you the decision is made quickly for the car you want to purchase.  There is sooooo much paperwork.

  I must refrain from posting more one-liners referencing the 2024 movie MY OLD ASS.

I hope you won't. Refrain, that is.

Yesterday, at Richard’s insistence I finally sought medical attention for my wheezing cough.  PA heard “scraping” in my lungs, but chest X-ray was “normal.” Even though it’s not “full-blown” pneumonia she prescribed an antibiotic and rescue inhaler.  Official diagnosis: acute bronchitis.

No wonder Richard insisted you get checked. 

[Jane]

There’s still a possibility we’ll go tomorrow, but more likely Monday.  Worst case is that we postpone until after they get back from New Year’s with the other grandparents.

Did the doctor say you are not contagious and your decision will be based on how you feel?

[Jane]

DR Ginny,

MEGA VIBES YOU FEEL GREAT BY TOMORROW OR MONDAY AND CAN SPEND CHRISTMAS WITH THE GIRLS!

[Freddie]

  I must refrain from posting more one-liners referencing the 2024 movie MY OLD ASS.

I hope you won't. Refrain, that is.

No, really.  I shouldn't be posting cheap pull-quotes like, for example,

MY OLD ASS had them screaming for more.


That's just an example of what it's just too unseemly to post.   Unless needed to pad the postings, of course.  Then, anything goes.

[Jane]

Once in a while Leonard takes off out the door. He never gets very far. I keep telling him that he's just a plain black cat and nothing special. No one else will ever love him like I will, so he should stay home.

[Jane]

I would love to tell you that I am in complete heaven over all of this, but I cannot because of one thing: In order to actually use any of these great things, I need my Apple password.  The only one I have a record of did not work as the system told me it was compromised. I would need a new password.  I attempted to set one up and was directed to use my old phone to do this.  My old phone directed me to use my new phone to do this.  Once I tried that, i was told I provided insufficient information to change my password (I gave them what they asked for: My e-mail address and telephone number).  I was then told I would need to wait several days while the system ensures the safety of my account.

What the fudge???

If none of this sorts out by Monday, I'm off to the Verizon store again.

 

Oh no!

[Jane]

That's too bad, DR Ron Pulliam. And very frustrating. I wonder if it could be solved over the phone with Apple without having to wait so long.

Good suggestion.

[Freddie]

More feel-better-quickly vibes for Ginny!

[Jane]

Oh. But you don't have a working phone.

Oh, right.

[Jane]

Okay, Laura. Here it is.

It is lovely.
