While I couldn't get to town, I hit something else.

.

One of my email accounts was down.  I had forgotten the password and haven't been in shape or a mood to track through that.  Simply, as problems go, it was a lesser one.  Yes, the lesser ones add up, but until they do, or it gets bad enough, I simply don't muster to mess with them.  I took care of that tonight, and got another bird with that stone.

I signed up for a phone, a home phone.  In a 12 month, I get it for $14 extra, with messaging.  Long distance, even Canada, all that jazz.  I got another message from Verizon.  This time it was clearer.  They do owe me about $500 and change.  They don't just pay out though, who knows when I'll be able to get that money.  When the new phone is up and working, I will cancel the cellphone.  I'll keep my mothers' phone operational, unless they fuss too much.  No more smartphones, just a stupid phone, just one, and not for me.  Actually, it turns out that it's more like just $10 extra a month.

That'll save me a bundle and I don't have to mess with advertising, spying, cracking of my phone, the stealing of data or info through the air, etc.  I'll miss soduku, and will need to get an ereader.  But the best ereaders are about the cost of my smartphone montly cost, but one-time.  Yeah...  Cutting cords, and costs, and troubles, left and right.  Eventually people, and they, will figure it out.  Ma Bell found out.  They all do.  And no one even looks back.  Greed has a price.

Burgers, tonight.  I thawed meat for tonight, and that was my want.  Tomorrow I am hoping to roast a chicken, perhaps a beef roast as well, so as to have food for most of next week all ready.  Boiling eggs too... if I have energy when I return home.  Depending on how it goes, I might be rather lifted, elevated, ready to cook to get ready for what else life holds in store.  I want to work instead of mess around with bureaucrats, thieves, and whatnot.

I am hoping to get a shower, yet, then air dry a bit, then to bed, while it is still earlier.  Wish me luck?  Later, or good night.
