too many things

susandennisMy brain is being used for too many things right now. In the olden days, it was very used to this and, I'm not even sure it ever hit its limit.
But, now it's old and man, that limit is tiny and it hit it yesterday and hasn't recovered.
More frustrating convo/emails with SteveTheLawyer. Sell the damn house to anyone who will buy it. NOW. Yes, I am sure. Really really really sure.
New phone. I made an error when I was transferring stuff from the old phone. Not critical but it has made the Setting Up The New Phone process way more of a thing. Which is not bad, I should carry old habits over from phone to phone. I should use the new phone as a time to re-examine.
New watch. Already some stuff is great and way better than my Sense. But, some stuff is missing, too. It will be added but just now, it's missing. Plus, I've never used this operating system before so learning curve. But, fun.
In the middle of all this last night (my worst time of day for thinking), I get an email from my friend in New Zealand. He's working on their U.S. trip for next Summer and has hotel questions. The one he picked out is at the top of a hill (so not great for walking) and at the intersection of two one-way streets in the middle of town (so not great for getting there in a car). But I hate to tell him no. I made some suggestions but I had to research first.
Last night, when I was all thought out.
He handled it, tho. And ended up with reservations at a hotel they've used before which is fine. (They will be here twice in the middle of tourist season so his getting on it now is smart.)
Night before last, I finished listening to a book I had been reading for a while. I fell asleep and missed a key plot point. So last night I relistened to the last 45 minutes and damned if plot never got finished. Dude. Not funny.
So today.
- fix phone so that it's organized the way I want and does what I want.
- call the two banks that are not cooperating with the phone app.
- figure out how to operate this watch!
- fix watch so that it's organized the way I want it and does what I want.
And really that may be it. Nice to have a day to devote to getting my electronic shit together.

Oh and no Alexa.
Nothing huge and many nice trade offs.
