Good things for the week of February 15th.

Posted on by Hope

Yeah, I skipped good things for a while, but I’m back to post them today!

  1. Therapy appointments, especially after getting a new phone, and really having to learn how to use it.
  2. Ditching Thunderbird, because it’s just been a hassle, I can’t stand conversation threading, and as of now, there’s no way to disable it, but not only that, it’s started asking me every time I go to delete an email. Really I just pressed delete, stop asking me if I want to confirm deletion of that message, thanks! So far, I’ve installed Microsoft mail, but if anyone has any accessible alternatives, I’ll take them.
  3. New phones, you might be asking what? It has been an interesting experience, one I put off for way too long, getting to learn the new iPhone, unfortunately I bricked my old one though, so no using it after that. I needed a new phone!

Here’s a slight prayer request, the volunteer who takes me to church told me she’ll be house sitting throughout all of March and April. The church is aware of this, so hopefully they can find a ride for me, if not, it’s back to using rideshare.

My caregiver is quitting!

I found out last week that she’ll be leaving on Wednesday. I’ve had her for over a year, and I’ve really enjoyed having her. She’s been really good to work with, and cool to get to know!!! We’ll be celebrating my birthday on Wednesday. I’m ordering chinese that day, as my birthday is on Monday. I’m doing this so she can help with the delivery.

Quick takes post for Saturday.

Posted on by Hope

Yeah these are usually posted on Friday, but I didn’t get myself over here to do it! Needless to say, you get Seven quick takes on Saturday, and yeah I should’ve done this sooner!

  1. The defense started yesterday in the Read case! They called an expert in vehicle event data.
  2. My rent is going up by quite a bit as of tomorrow.
  3. As a result, I’m taking a break from church. I’m not able to find transportation, and I can’t afford to keep going via Uber.
  4. After Read is over, I need to get back to the Simpson archivals! I really should’ve gotten back to them after the end of my class!!
  5. I’m testing a couple different RSS reader services as of late, as I always am. Feedify,
    and Feedgrab
  6. I want to be on Facebook, but don’t really want to have my family find me on there. I would rather them not track down everything I’m posting, and yell at me about it. I want to make a fake account. I’ve tried this a couple times, but it has failed so far. Facebook thinks I’m impersonating someone when I try to use a different name, that isn’t my own. I’m not impersonating someone, I’m trying to keep the profile private.
  7. I downloaded the book, The Artist’s Way, from Audible. We’ll see where it goes. It’s something I’ve always wanted to read, and/or try.

Stuff going on here lately.

Posted on by Hope

I went to church yesterday! Because Uber has been a big problem here lately, and has been holding me at connecting to driver. My dad brought me to church. Oh, and also class was canceled last night, so I didn’t have to practice dealing with demons, thankfully. I’ll have to do it in a couple weeks.
I had an audiology appointment last week, and I have mild to moderate hearing loss in my right ear, but none in my left ear. Since they don’t know why there’s a difference, he suggested I go see an ENT first, which I’m sure I will do at some point. My mom is doing well, but not back to work or driving as of yet.

First time at a new church!

Posted on by Hope

I left my very old church back in December, because of issues with transportation and the current leadership. I did the church research thing for a couple weeks, and realized that I really liked the local calvary chappel church.
I called, and asked to see if they had someone to give me a ride. I never got a call back saying that they had someone. After a couple months of not going to church, I really wanted to go, so I decided to take an Uber. I did just that this morning! I was able to get to church on time, and a couple broght me home, and took me out to lunch. I had a bit of trouble setting the pick-up pin when it comes to Uber, but I was able to tell the driver where to come to get me.

FedEx is weird.

Posted on by Hope

I just had to report a Fedex driver for walking off and laughing at me. Wouldn’t even say anything to me, but when I told him this isn’t funny, he laughed, and said, “why?” He was bringing a pretty big package, and I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to get it in, thankfully I was able to! If he would’ve brought it inside the door, I would’ve been able to get it the rest of the way into my storage. It’s one of those really long, really awkward packages, it’s almost as tall as me.

I had a test today.

Posted on by Hope

Ya know, the test when women are supposed to get when they turn 40! Accept I put it off until I was 41. Why did I do that? Because I’m weird, that’s why! I had a friend go with me, and everything went fairly well.

Counseling.

Posted on by Hope

Yeah I still need to set up some stuff here, I’ve gotten behind a bit, sleep is illuding me right now. Today I had a counseling appointment. We talked about a whole bunch of things! Everything from my mom to AI.
OK no, my mom is not AI, lol!!! Although she’s been prolificly yelling at me lately, maybe she’s getting it from GPT!!! I don’t think she actually is, but GPT would probably give her less overreactive responses than she’s been putting out the last couple months. Except yesterday, because when I talked to her then, she was fine.
