susandennisYesterday only had about 8 hours in it for me. The other 16 were swallowed up by one of those stupid snake/arrow maze games that I never heard of until yesterday but Spiffikins fixed that. I tried hard to put it down but the fucking phone kept snapping back into my hand. Good thing I wasn't scheduled to save someone's life or something.
And, by the way, the Google Play Store has now crossed the line to nearly unusable. You search for a specific app and the first four choices you are given are not anything close to what you want but those who have paid Google a fat fee to be at the top. Half of the very useful search filters no longer work. They are so hepped up on this points thing that that is all you can see. If you don't give a flying fuck about their points, you still have to wade through the shit to get to anything. Ok, thanks for the rant space. But, geesh. I'm sure there are some really good apps in there hidden in the crap.
I'm kind of over tracking stuff. I was tracking a bunch of stuff. Then just food/weight/Wegovy stuff and now I'm over that. I kind of have a feel for how many calories/protein/etc, I'm consuming every day and I don't really care anyway. I'm going back to eating the way I want - when I'm hungry and not when I'm not. I have an understanding of what my Wegovy body wants and can tolerate comfortably. I can always go back to tracking if I decide that's fine.
Every Saturday now, Jim Across The Hall, taps on my door at 9 to ask what time is time to go down to the elbow (10). Tap tap tap 'quick question'. It's very Ground Hog. We just had today's tap. He's usually with a care giver and I get the feeling I'm a tie breaker in their argument. He's getting worse every single day. I wish they would come move him to somewhere he has constant care.
Volleyball was pretty meh. Bad actors and bad attitudes. But, good exercise and Judith, who probably hasn't played in a year, showed up, so it was fun to see her.
The little shop downstairs serves THE best yogurt in the world. They add a few berries and some crunchy stuff that it does not need but it's just so much better than anything I've found in the grocery. Finally last night, I got the server to go investigate and find out what kind it was. Turns out it's a special Yoplait that only comes in gynormous bags for wholesale. But, Gemini says their Yoplait Greek might come close to the quality. I'll have to find/test. If not, I'll just always get it at the shop and dig the berries out. The crunch is sometimes good.
Today after elbow coffee will be laundry. But, that's really the only thing on the to-do list. Unless, of course, my phone needs more arrow/snake-ing.

Date: 2026-02-07 08:36 pm (UTC)Savvy Apple developers take advantage of the ability to create a url-like-thing they then put on their web site; click it on an Apple device, and it opens the AppStore with their app pre-selected, bypassing the app store's intentionally crippled search.
I don't know whether Google's App Store has the same helpful feature.
