Today is my second day of radiation treatments. I also need to locate a Covid testing location and take care of that. I can only do it after I finish up the radiation because of an Amazon Fresh delivery and a phone search for a location in my area.

There's a CityMD, 88th Street & Broadway, with walk-in Covid testing, so I called Access-a-Ride to see if I could change the address of my return ride from home to there, and I can't. Damn!

If I weren't waiting on an Amazon Fresh delivery this morning, I would go up now. Damn!

The weather is supposedly going to be messy tomorrow morning. Damn!

I hate my life.

That seems so odd, that they can't or won't make that kind of change.

I wonder if it's possible to simply ask the driver on the return trip to let you off there because of a last minute change in plans? How could they refuse? (Oh, I know. They'll find a way.)  :(

BK -- I was going to post a picture, and once again have gotten the message:

Your attachment has failed security checks and cannot be uploaded. Please consult the forum administrator.

It's a phone-camera jpeg about 140 kb in size. This has happened to a few of us over the past several months. I believe each time it's happened to me, it's been a photo I've copied from my iPhotos to Preview and resized to fit. That usually works as it should, but once a particular image has "failed security checks", there's seemingly nothing I can do to change that.

One year ago today, 245 years of our Republic, founded as a Constitutional Democracy, came under attack.  The forces that set all that in motion remain steadfastly determined to make it happen again.

There is a Covid testing tent in front of my bank at 82nd and Broadway, so I asked the driver to drop me off there instead of my apartment. He did, but the Covid test there required a smart phone, so I couldn'ty do a thing there. I caught a taxi and went to CityMD at 88th and Broadway. I walked in, registered, and there was no waiting time. A nice young man named Sam took my test, and told me I would have the results in my email in 30 minutes. I got home around 2:45, fed the cats and checked my email.

Hello, everyone.
Title: Re: CROOKED NOTES
Post by: Jeanne on January 06, 2022, 04:43:24 PM
What a thankless day it has been!

I put today aside as Target Day, the day I take my new iPhone over to the Consumer Cellular section of Target to get it activated. I called first, just to make sure I didn't need to charge it first or something. Good thing I did: no charging needed, but I do need to bring in the account number and a special pin. How do I obtain those? There's no paper bill and I could not find the account number anywhere in my phone. I went round and round with AT&T phone trees, which say they will connect you to an actual person, but never do. They do say over and over how much they appreciate your business and such. I finally was able to live-chat with someone, but her English wasn't all there and the first number she gave me was incorrect, so I don't really trust it. Gawd! I won't have time to go to Target again until next week and will have to somehow obtain a CORRECT account number and pin before then. Could they make it any more difficult?

That seems so odd, that they can't or won't make that kind of change.

I wonder if it's possible to simply ask the driver on the return trip to let you off there because of a last minute change in plans? How could they refuse? (Oh, I know. They'll find a way.)  :(

The rides I get as part of my health insurance can ONLY be to doctor appointments which are also part of my insurance. I suspect Access-A-Ride has similar rules -- only sanctioned appointments.

While I am happy to see geese, I am being reminded how NOISY they are.

My yard is the preferred location for their annual mating rituals.  It gets VERY noisy at times.

I do not like geese. Yes, they are VERY noisy, and they can be quite aggressive, too. From a distance, fine.

It's been a good day, overall. Access-a-Ride was on time for both trips, and my 6:00 treatments have been moved to late morning.

Glad to hear it!

What a thankless day it has been!

I put today aside as Target Day, the day I take my new iPhone over to the Consumer Cellular section of Target to get it activated. I called first, just to make sure I didn't need to charge it first or something. Good thing I did: no charging needed, but I do need to bring in the account number and a special pin. How do I obtain those? There's no paper bill and I could not find the account number anywhere in my phone. I went round and round with AT&T phone trees, which say they will connect you to an actual person, but never do. They do say over and over how much they appreciate your business and such. I finally was able to live-chat with someone, but her English wasn't all there and the first number she gave me was incorrect, so I don't really trust it. Gawd! I won't have time to go to Target again until next week and will have to somehow obtain a CORRECT account number and pin before then. Could they make it any more difficult?

I am sorry for your issues.  I suppose this is why Keith prefers to buy our phones at the T-Mobile store and let them take care of everything before we head home.

I love Canada geese. They are usually not breeding here, but the ones who stay all year haven't been at all aggressive.
Title: Re: CROOKED NOTES
Post by: Jane on January 06, 2022, 05:46:57 PM
The Geese here aren't aggressive, nor were the ones in Ashland.  In Michigan we would walk around a large pond and had to be wary of them.

What a crazy little day. Of the fifteen pages from yesterday, I managed to futz and finesse about eight of them, but I knew the final eight would need a LOT of futzing and finessing. But I ran out of time, had the Zoom with David Wechter, and then had to leave immediately for the early dinner with Robert Yacko.

We met at Art's Deli - I had the tri-salad thing and he had an omelet thing. We had fun yakking. Then I picked up some packages, then came right home.
Title: Re: CROOKED NOTES
Post by: bk on January 06, 2022, 06:34:12 PM
Then I immediately futzed and finessed the other seven pages, making some major additions and a few deletions and smoothed out some poorly written stuff. And now, I can finally start some new pages. I may only do eight or nine today because I'm still a head of where I'd normally be. But by the end of this evening I'll be 100 pages in.

For ChasSmith: This is not a server issue.  Are you posting via wordpress? If so, can you take a screenshot and send it to me?

Can you get the error message - take a screen shot and get email it to me - then I can get it to our guy and he can see what's what.

Wrote three new pages, took a break and tried to watch some thriller on the Firestick but fell asleep for about thirty minutes. Now, I'm eating the rest of the tri-salad and writing another five or six pages. After that, another break and then we'll see about writing an additional five before bed. I have to be in bed by three at the latest.

Six pages so far, and taking a short break. I'll definitely do another four and hopefully five beyond if I'm feeling up to it. Had some allergy issues today and am feeling a little congested still.

Eleven pages and time to write some notes. Where is TCB, where is George? We need our late night denizens and it's been two hours since I made my last post and almost three hours since the post prior to that. Most unseemly.
