COVID-19: Day 29: No Easter Outfit

Some time ago, I wrote the infamous Why I Blame My Mother For My Shoe Fixation post. 

Having an Easter outfit with new shoes was pretty routine.  I’ve carried it into my later years even though I don’t attend church.

There will be no Easter outfit or Easter shoes this year.  Or an Easter dinner though I am playing around with the idea of making scalloped potatoes on Sunday.

I did order my mom an Easter basket which they kindly delivered yesterday.  She was tickled, but still and all it just doesn’t feel like Easter.

I’m growing weary of this quarantine, but I am still suffering it happily.  The alternative is death and destruction and in this time of Easter, we are to focus on life.  So maybe I’ll plan the Out of Quarantine Outfit and new shoes

COVID-19: Day 27 and Day 28: TECHNOLOGY STILL

I’ve been crazed.  It’s been a comedy of errors with both the AT&T iPhone and the Frontier DSL.  The upshot of which has been I have either been without WiFi or without Internet for most of a week.

Crazed, I tell you.

At 10:30 or so last night, I finally got a person a Frontier, after multiple phone calls, that could wave the magic wand to get my new router to actually route stuff.  Woo Hoo!  We’re cooking with gas now.

The AT&T debacle is 99% my fault.  I threw away the shipping materials to send my trade-in to them.  They can’t seem to retrieve the numbers necessary to recreate the shipping materials because the store I bought the iPhone 8 from is closed due to COVID-19.  Yeah, I don’t understand either but it is what it is.  So now, I have to wait for the threatening letter or additional charges or something to get it all worked out.  The guy at AT&T was just great.

So were the folks at Frontier.

I’m used to technology being screwy in my barn.  I attribute the fact that I have a tin roof on part of the house as the reason.

But my new phone is finally set up and operating.  My WiFi and Internet both work.  I’m happy for the moment.

Good morning!
