Fixed

My phone problems escalated last night. I could receive no phone calls. Exacerbating the problem was that I was operating on the latest beta version of the operating system. So I could no tell is my issues were me or memorex (old commercial, never mind).

So I just wiped out the whole phone and loaded it back up from a backup. It's now all back together again - snappy and responsive and making and receiving phone calls even with my new earbuds (which really are great, btw). All is good. I love the new operating system but I'll love it more when it's all stable and ready for prime time.

All those shenanigans really ate up most of yesterday. NBD but now hard to believe it's already Wednesday.

Oh, I got an email from the cat people this morning:

Hello Susan,

Your appointment is canceled for today. We will send you an appointment email for next week as soon as we have the schedule.

You know, I'm seriously considering if I even want to talk to her any more. I have two or three more phone sessions but she and her un-organization are just pissing me off and Biggie is fine so why annoy me further? I guess I'll wait until they "have the schedule" to decide.

I think Biggie has given up on the bird biz. I can hear a few birds- not many actually - and he's out there but he's not in his bird catching posture. It's like he doesn't care. Maybe he's psyching them out.

I do think I'll take myself over to Goodwill this morning and do a little leg stretching. I have a couple of things on my BeOnTheLookoutFor list but it will be a nice way to get some steps in. My treadmill session this morning was not as odious as yesterdays. So that was nice.

Baseball is an afternoon game so that's what I'll be doing for the back half of today.

I’m happy the treadmill is getting less odious, but an actual walk to a real store sounds like a much better way to get in the steps. Your cat psychologist sounds like a real flake. I admit that I am biased as I don’t see much value in what they do.

[susandennis]

yes but... exercise is your default. mine is ass on the couch.

just as they say the best camera is the one in your pocket when you want to take a picture, the best exercise is the one that you will actually do every day. for me, that is the treadmill.

It took me many years to make it my default, and the couch is still the default sometimes — today, for example. TV streaming and sewing, all afternoon.

Or maybe he's played them out. What is left are wary of the Cattus!

Beta issues are one of the reasons I don't do beta testing anymore. I like a functioning phone. Or tablet. If I'm supposed to have those new features, I'll get them. When they are behaving predictable thankyouverymuch!

On the earphones, I usually end up getting 3rd party foam ear pieces. The silicon ones that ship with most earphones gives me the heebie-jeebies! Or itch! So I go to these guys: Comply foam (https://www.complyfoam.com/store/). They make tips for a bunch of different earphones.

Thanks! I meant to research which foams were good with these. Comply works for me. Just ordered.

Yesterday I could hear my neighbor's kid enthusiastically cheering for a baseball game on TV and couldn't help thinking about you. :)

Kick the behaviorist to the curb. No sense being an enabler for an obvious charlatan.

Will they refund you for cancelled services?

[susandennis]

if you are talking about the cat behaviorist, i'm sure the answer is no or, more likely, hell no.

[mrdreamjeans.livejournal.com]

I suspected as much.

Is it selfish of me to want you to have the phone calls with the cat people, so we can find out what happens next??

[susandennis]

She would tell me to not let him bite me any more. And, if I don't want him killing birds to keep him inside. And to buy more toys to keep him entertained.

I'm pretty much doing all of that. So no need to bother her pretty head. Plus she has her TV career to think about :)
