At first, it was stressful not being able to receive texts or calls, but by the time I was on the road to Glenwood, I was actually liking the freedom and peace of no one being able to reach me. It was like a mini vacation. I missed three conference calls and who knows how many texts and other calls, and it was great! My World didn&#8217;t fall apart (a lot of it is, just look at Europe), and not much changed. If I could, I&#8217;d go back to land lines for work and at home. As soon as I retire, I&#8217;m putting my cell phone in a drawer and only taking it out if I go somewhere. Looking forward to that day! Think I&#8217;ll start by doing that on the weekends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ty is off today, Lori&#8217;s getting ready for work and Jag is working away. I&#8217;m off to the gym and then will run down to Lori&#8217;s office to have a couple stitches taken out by Tiffany, Lori&#8217;s nurse. They&#8217;re from my trip to the dermatologist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I told Ty I&#8217;d get him a new phone today as his is smashed and you can see the electronics on the back as they&#8217;re exposed. Hard to believe it even works. He wanted to wait for the new Apple Duo that comes out Friday. It&#8217;s a foldable phone that costs $2000! I told him no way, plus they&#8217;re backordered until the end of January. That pretty much sums up the problem with our Country and society in general, a $2000 phone is sold out and backordered. I&#8217;m sure 90% of the purchasers are under 25 or 30 years old too. I chose the older I-phone 17 Pro instead of the new 18 Pro. I don&#8217;t care about a fancier camera plus the 18 is huge. For me, a phone is a tool to communicate with, it&#8217;s not my whole life or a status symbol! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cool temps coming this weekend. Not sure we&#8217;ll get snow but we should in the higher elevations. Almost 7am now. The sun comes up in 20 minutes or so. Tomorrow I&#8217;ll be on the road at this time to get snow tires put on Lori&#8217;s car. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s all folks! Have a great Wednesday, God Bless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Took me until around 11am but I was finally reconnected to the World with a new phone.
