Got a bit done today. Baked Jim a double batch of Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies this morning. I freeze most of them in packages of 18 and bring them out as needed.
Finally got Microsoft Word to work on Jim’s laptop. Still not completely fixed but at least he has access to documents and can write letters. I tried to make an appointment with the Genius Bar in Leawood at the Apple Store so they can make Word 100% installed correctly. I was going in circles so called the store. It connected me to someone somewhere but not in the store. The guy I spoke to on the phone could only make appointments for this coming week. I wanted one when we go back to KC October 6. The guy messed around trying to find the link I could use to book an appointment myself and couldn’t find it. Duh! You would have thought he would have known that. I have to call a week before and go through this again to book an appointment. You would think a Tech Company would make it easy.
Did a bit more work on changing some beneficiaries on some accounts we have. We are attempting to get our affairs in order. It seems like we have a lot of little things to take care of to make the happen. Still easier now than if something happened to one of us and the other was trying to sort through it all. When I get it all changed, I need to make a master list of what we have where and how to contact each of the places. Jim doesn’t like doing this sort of thing and will struggle to figure it all out if he needed to.
Did a bit more password changing work today. I do OK until I hit a hard one and start going in circles and then I have to walk away from it for a bit. Sometimes I can figure out what I was doing wrong and sometimes I never do figure out what I do differently to make it work.
Got a short rain twice today. Had very small hail with one of the two storms. We were on the tail end of both of the storms so only got about .3 of rain. Sure could use more rain. Saw a rainbow after the second rain tonight.
Tried to blog on my iPad and the site wouldn’t come up. Came into the study and got on my desktop and it came right up. I think Technology is messing with me and trying my patience level. I am failing! Can I just fail that class and move on?
I haven’t been able to keep the day of week straight in my mind since we have come home from vacation. It felt like a Sunday today. I was surprised the Apple store was open and then remembered it was Saturday and not Sunday. Guess I will get to have two Sunday’s this week.
Tomorrow afternoon Nicole and Geoff are stopping by on their way home from the Bluegrass Festival in Winfield to pick up their beef. It will be nice to see them for a hot minute or two. They won’t be able to stay long as they need to get home and get ready for their week.
We have been under a boil water advisory and saw on Facebook it was lifted today. I don’t realize how much water I use for drinking until I can’t use tap water. Glad they were able to get the broken line repaired and have good drinking water again.
Tomorrow I want to doublecheck all my auto payment changes and make sure I haven’t missed one. My notes are starting to become cluttered and I need to check all of them one more time and then let it go. I am driving myself to drink over this and enough is enough.
Grateful for the rainbow today, grateful Microsoft Word is functional on Jim’s laptop, and grateful Jim’s cookie supply is replenished.
