Bits and pieces of this and that.

I gave the dishes a scrub, again, then another soapy soak.  They should be really easy to wash.  I called to arrange a haircut Monday.  Then thought to call my friend, to see if he needed a haircut.  He does need.  Another call back to the shop and we won't have to wait in line.  I asked for his brother's phone number, good to have.  I do have his sister's number as well.  He doesn't have his brother's other phone number.  His brother lives in the North in summer and in the South for the winter.  He will be looking for that.

Oh, and I have been tinkering with my phone and one of the accessories.  I don't know HOW many calls were missed, two I think.  Today.  Others over the last few days.  I have the buds working, but haven't gotten them to vibrate.  I simply set them up to automatically answer.  I tried to do a couple of other things, between the phone and ear bud device, but... Yeah... well...  I just don't want to pull out the magnifying glass to read horrible instructions that I can figure out with some tinkerage.  Damn kids these days.

I got so intent, working around the innards of the phone, that I forgot to my my arm around from time to time.  I must have been in there an hour, maybe too, tinkering.  When I went to put the phone down I about died.  The arm had cramped, or... cramped when I tried to use those muscles that had been static for so long.  Wow...  Okay, so... perhaps I have some focus sometimes.  If little else it seems.

Still, I got the bluetooth working, am figuring out the controls, and setup for each, mostly.  Not exactly rocket science, but then again, as I have mentioned, neither is actual rocket science.  Trust me, do.  I'd not lie to you.  The hardest thing is that I don't get many calls, or call out much, so I can't really tinker while on calls as much as I would like.  I want to see if I can open up one, or both, extra windows, even surf the web or check my contact list, while talking.  As is, that I have figured out this much is okay, considering so little practical experience.  I might get someone to call me, perhaps my friend while I am visiting him, and as often as it takes to figure things out.

One last thing.  I purchased a gift card for a local who had helped me with the roof.  I had delayed, hoping to get my home in order, so as to have him and his wife for several meals.  That simply never came to fruition, so I bought them a card.  A meal he didn't have to cook, he thought.  Well, that in spades.  However, I kept forgetting to get ahold of him, to let him know to come and get it.  Finally, tonight, serendipity (not, not you) intervened.  I just called him.  He happens to just be leaving town, so will stop by.  Bits and pieces, this and that, when and how I can.  Calories in for calories out.

Hmm...  I'd love to go back into town, for more shopping, for a meal, just to be out.  I won't, can't, really.  Otherwise I would have not just set up the hair cuts for Monday, but would have gone on into town to see my pal today, or even planned on it tomorrow or Sunday.  It... is Friday, right?  Yeah, okay.  No, Monday is as soon as I will be in.  And even that is hopeful, possibly wishful, thinking.  Oh, I think I can push through to make it Monday.  Probably.

Later.
