Sorry if I haven't responded, the computer gods have put me in Hades for sharing my Google account with my DH when he got his new phone. 

😡

Such are the problems I face as technology gets more buggy and we have too many passcodes. Now I have to decide what to do, including do I utilize my alternate email address and upend my entire world? 

Then there is the fun of him trying to figure out his new phone. I'm subjected to new noises, pop up music and screeching videos, clicks and clacks. He likes to hear what he's typing.

😖

There were all kinds of 'pings' in the middle of the night. He figured out how to silence a bunch of it but it's a chorus of tones before he figures it out. 

At the bedside. 

When I've been asleep for a while. 

Sometimes he'll stand outside the door and try to silence it. He thinks I won't hear it on the other side of the door.

😬

How do I do this? What's this for? Why did they change that?

Somehow he signed up for FB but doesn't know how or when. He gets messages from people but can't figure out how to respond. It also means he gets tons of stupid, or interesting, videos. 

Loud videos.

😱

Oh, well. He's STILL here for me to complain about.

😁

    I'm laughing, BUT... I don't have a DH to blame about the changing technology. I choose to blame my son, who these days, it seems, feels the need to "take care of" my technology needs. When he upgrades his phone, he provides me with a new one because of some two for one sale, and then it's not a DH, it's ME trying to figure out how to put the settings on "do not disturb" overnight!

    I think the last time I went through this was in 2020 or 2021, so that means it's likely to happen again in the next year or two.

    Hang in there. This, too, shall pass, and the mic drop moment is the last line in your post! He's still with you!

      OMG, new phones that often? Mine is from maybe 2016. Works fine for me. I AM contemplating getting a new one like his so I can utilize my newfound skills. However, the one feature they removed from Samsung phones was the LED indicator light. I change the color for each type of message so can tell if it's email, text or Whatsapp by the color. It helps prioritize my responses.
      Guess I'm still geekie ;-)

    Well, your man is thinking LARGE. Mine is fixated on thinking itty bitty. Arduinos mostly. He is irked that I, a science major, am not totally absorbed in it. He has a retired science teacher friend who works at the library who does enjoy his mad scientist babbling about this stuff. He also knows more about UFOs than NASA.

 I know, I know. I'm getting slow at posting trip info. As a matter of fact, I haven't printed my photo books from my 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 trips. I've a photo book from every trip taken since 2002. Sometimes twice a year if we made smaller trips. My priorities have changed, I guess.  Well, now...our first stops. Americana in Bedford PA. once made the list as the world's biggest coffee pot. The handle is on the other side. My SIL and BIL as models. We traveled to Jeffersonville, Indiana in search of other oddities.  The Colgate Clock is one of the largest clocks in the world. It works. We visited  Schimpff's Confectionery,  since 1891,  one of the oldest, continuously operated, family-owned candy businesses in the United States. It was exactly as advertised. Best chocolate I've ever had! The Big Four Bridge is a local favorite as a walkway to Louisville Kentucky. We enjoyed it at night after a nice dinner on the river in Jeffersonville. My favorite in Indi...

 How am I, you may wonder. Pretty good! I am still following the diet prescribed by the MDs and dietician and only adding a thing or two back in weekly. I have discovered a lot of other things about my food and myself. I don't need all the ........(insert something here). Just because the label states the whole can of tuna is one serving, doesn't mean I have to eat the whole can; 1/3 does nicely.  The slice of farmhouse bread, toasted, is just fine cut in half instead of using two slices.  Pickles taste the same even when the peels are removed. I am living without a lot of cheese, my previous staple. Living without second helpings as well.  Eventually I will be able to exchange all this 'white food' for higher fiber veggies and grains. The result is I've lost 11 pounds since the end of January. I don't feel deprived.  Huh.

 Dear Diary, Missed you! I've not been of a mind to post anything. I purchased several of the books OKM was reading as we have similar tastes. I dove into the Fast. Feast. Repeat. book and read it from cover to cover. It was a better read for me than Bright Line Eating, I feel both authors put too much personality in them. I'm a more scientific approach, give me the facts, girl. To me Thompson comes on a bit haughty, Stephens' writing puts me in a 6th grade classroom. Sigh. I've gotten over myself. Just when I hit my 2 week attempt at IF, I spent multiple weeks in the throes of diverticulitis with a few days R&R in the hospital. I called them my spa days. Didn't have to care for DH and didn't care that I couldn't. The only thing missing was a mud pack and a massage. Their kitchen choices were not up to my standards even on a clear liquid diet. My martini was missing. Morphine is nice. I've never been cursed with this before, I've considered my di...
