Once again, technology is leaving me in the dust. This week I tried to record a program we like to watch that was on Tuesday, when we were at our class. Having failed to check the TV guide, we learned after watching the first hour and five minutes of it on Wednesday night, that it was a two hour season finale with a cliffhanger... Now we are dangling down that cliff. I have since learned we can watch it on demand on line so that is what we will do this weekend. I do feel I get a gold star for at least taping the normal one hour time slot of the show. I also successfully taped and watched my weekly Top Chef addiction. Another gold star for me!
However, my cell phone is proving to be beyond me. (Face it, I think we all have a love/hate relationship with our cell phones. The convenience is great but it would be nice to have our own little IT specialist to help us resolve issues.) I have learned that it doesn't work, if you don't charge it periodically. Also, you don't get calls if you don't turn it on and give out the number. The other day I was stuck in traffic and made a call. I then managed to proceed 50 feet further down the hill and voila, no bars, dropped call.... Grrr... Then I felt very proud of myself as said traffic was making me late for meeting my friend and I successfully texted her about this. She texted back, we were both late.
Later when we were leaving, there was a rainbow, actually it was a double rainbow. It was very cool. I took a picture, well several pictures, that are stuck in my cell phone. How do I get the pictures from my cell phone to my computer? I have no idea. I actually knew how to take pictures with my phone. My friend had problems figuring it out. We stood there in the rain for five minutes trying to decipher her phone. Finally we were successful. Now she has rainbow pictures stuck in her cell phone as well. If I could, I would post them here.
Once again today I get to go back to Lahey. I am SOOOOO excited! I even get to go to the big parking garage! I can't wait (NOT!). Actually I am going for a bone density scan to see get a baseline for osteoporosis issues. I have heard this test is simple, painless, and quick. This means I will spend more time driving there, parking, walking all the way in to the clinic and going down two flights, checking in, getting changed, waiting, and then getting changed back, walking all the way back to OMWAH land (parking garage), and driving home, than it will take for the actual test. Probably 1 or more for the entire trip for a 2 minute test. What a productive use of time. Actually, I originally had scheduled this to coincide with another doctor's appointment that was since canceled. But next Friday, I will probably be there for a good 3 or more hours.... Maybe I can even have lunch at the cafeteria while I am there. I will try to visit a friend who works there too.
