Life is Good Again

Life is Good Again

“What’s going on here?” I say, gritting my teeth. Sitting at my desk in my very messy home office. Yes, I also have my cozy chair, my TV, and a table dedicated to meals, junk food, and occasionally scrabble when my sister shows up in here, but today, home office.

I’m not actually working with papers now, however. I can do papers. It’s electronics I am a little behind in. This morning my phone...

Yesterday I had my yearly physical. At my age always a tense ordeal. I know how my outsides are going, she gets to tell me how the insides are holding up. So far, so good! Now I have to put next year’s appointment into my phone...

I used to just jot them on my calendar. But my daughter convinced me the phone was better. “It sends you a notice so you won’t forget!” She set it up. All I had to do was put my appointments in as I made them.

I assume that sounds easy to a thirty seven year old. I’ve been working on this for over an hour. At one point, I actually had to look up what year it was now, because I’d gotten myself so flustered, I wasn’t sure anymore! I am ready to cry, or pull my hair out, or throw this phone out the window!!! However, I will settle for chocolate cake, for now...

Later: She came over, she thought it was funny! Failing to see the smoke coming from my ears, she explained I did not need to do this on my puny little phone, I could do it on my computer! (wouldn’t actually help me...) so then I said I knew an even easier way! She can do it for me!

Life is good again.
