Three strikes and I am in after a fraught morning. PHEW , it could have been disastrous.

 

BAD NEWS 1

My new i-phone 16 was utterly dead, and unusable. I took it to the local Apple Store which opened early this morning. I was the first in line.

The Technician gave me certain "ifs" as to whether it could be restored.

 One of the "ifs" was that they needed some Apple account references.  I did - scribbled on a piece of paper. Oh merciful heavens.

I worked.  First the technician downloaded and deleted everything on the 'phone, making it as from the factory

Then he reloaded everything, as if it were a new 'phone.  Goodness gracious!  I now have a fully functional 'phone.

BAD NEWS 2

I logged on to my Everence Federal Credit Union Account early this morning.  Unfortunately could not log on - the account had been frozen. Why? Off I went to the local branch.

The teller was more than helpful. She did not know why my web access had been frozen.  But she knew what I could do and how I could do it.

Back at home I followed her directions and "voila" my account access was restored; albeit with a new password.

BAD NEWS 3

I got word from the Bank of America that my Credit Card account had also been frozen.

A long and fruitful conversation with BoA representative Lisa revealed that an "unknown to me" public company had been trying to apply charges to my Credit Card account.  What a relief that BoA spotted this.  

How wonderful that Lisa was so helpful!

Soon I'll get a new Card with new numbers etc,

All's well that is ending well   Thanks for the fruitful resolutions to the issues that had me on edge this morning. It had been a bit much!

Utterly Wonderful

  80 years equals family Fifty plus of us. My five remaining sibs and their spouses. Nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews. Cousins, second cousins, third cousins A joyful and relaxed family reunion. Super food. Great food for children with activities for them too, including face painting. This 80-year-old child wore a birthday coronet and insisted on having his face painted. A marvelous family reunion; and the greatest celebration of my four score years.

Not the best of days HELP! A mistake and a fall.

  I arrived in time for my 8:50 appointment with my Dermatologist.   The Receptionist told me that I did not have an appointment.  She checked the records and told me that my appointment is for Tuesday. I knew that.  Then the light dawned.  Up until that moment I had thought that it was Tuesday, not Monday. You'd think that calendars had not been invented! It got worse. I took Cooper for an early pee walk this afternoon.  He lifted his leg to cue. Then he took a strong and mad dash towards a Squirrel.  I fell down.  And great was my fall. Lots of scrapes.  No bones broken. Pictures not in order. Excuse duplicates. No sympathy please - I was foolish. Fortunately, I had an arm bandage to sop up the blood. It looks worse than it is. BUT  1.  I was foolish in two ways. First, I had taken Cooper on a short leash.  I'd have had more control with the double handled long leash. 2. When he made his mad dash, I should have dropped ...
