A Day in the Life

Oh what an interesting day this has been. Lots on my mind.

Dave and I started out the day by scooting up to Sears to get my eyes checked and buy some new glasses. I had picked out some frames when we were there on Thursday, and luckily they were still there today....they were on sale, so if they had been gone, I would be s.o.l. I really like them too. I've always worn frames that were kinda non-descript...blend in...maybe nobody will notice....I must be getting a little feisty in my old age. These have a wider temple piece that is silver mesh...rather futuristic. They go very well with my fresh spiky, mostly silver haircut.
While we were there, I noticed that, for some odd reason, my powerchair did not charge completely last night, so I was on limited power. Even though I plugged in at the optical place and charged while I had my exam, it still wasn't enough. Dave and I stopped and picked up some Del Taco for lunch, then headed for home. It soon became obvious that we weren't going to make it. Plan B....we headed to the Senior Center that was about 3 blocks away. Dave had to give me a little push up the ramps, but we made it. I plugged in and we ate our lunch, then spent another hour playing cards. By that time, I had enough power to make it the rest of the way  home. We stopped at a yard sale, and I bought 2 picture frames.
We got home and turned on the race, but since it was a road race instead of a 'go fast-turn left' race, I went to take a nap. When I woke up, I got online and messed around in Facebook for a while, chatted with Joe (Son #1) and then stopped to clean up my kitchen while he dealt with Moosie, who was shredding some napkins. Dave woke up from his nap, and I made us a sandwich for dinner.
A few days ago, Yahoo said I had to upgrade my email to their newest version. I did. I hate it. I don't care if videos and mobile is faster. I don't use those in Yahoo. I just want my mail. So I contacted their Customer Care tonight for a live chat. I got Nikki. Nikki did a really good job of pasting in her form answers, which insisted that I couldn't go back to the Classic email. Until I called her on it and asked her to talk to me like a human, not a robot. Then she said she could try to revert me back to Classic, but it might not work since she didn't have the tools to do it with. Huh? Oh forget it, Nikki, I'll try to deal with this new crappy version, but I thoroughly resent the fact that I no longer have a choice.
Speaking of new and improved, why is it that things that are "new and improved" rarely are? I upgraded my Firefox, for 'security' and now I don't have that wonderful page that I liked so much. When I'd open a new tab, there was 9 of my favorite places to go...just a click away. Now I have a blank white page, and I have to go looking for my favorite pages. They  said some things wouldn't be compatible right away, but they would add them as soon as they were....they need to hurry on this one.

Hmm...come to think of it....not so interesting a day after all.
