The cellphone I use is old. It works fine. It does not have a camera and does not have a query keyboard for texting. It suits my needs perfectly and I have never been where I could not get a signal. Says a lot for this old, flip phone of mine. BUT today I wanted to change the voicemail greeting. A simple thing, right? Easy! NOT!! I have worked diligently to figure out how to find the settings for changing the greeting on my voicemail. I have viewed numerous websites, used codes, updated voice commands, gone round and round the numerous options available to me and could not find the voicemail options. In desperation I succumbed to deleting messages from my voicemail and VOILA! at the end of the messages I was offered options for making changes. Oh I should put my head down on my desk and cry. Really? I have to delete all the messages that are old before getting to the options for voicemail. REALLY?? Too freaking much for a complicated mind such as mine and ridiculous that the options should be hidden under a pile of undeleted voice messages. Maybe that is where my glasses are also. I have not been able to find them for days. Maybe I am nuts or developing a gap in my brain into which the memory of how to find things has fallen. My message is changed now. Ta! Da! Just think what it would have been like if I had a new phone with all the bells and whistles. Oh the horror of the thought. Technilogically challenged in a technilogical age, doomed to obsolescence...poor me! A little bitty phone got the best of me again. Please, beam me up, Scotty!
Happy Thoughts - had lunch with two of my best friends today. They happen to be married and a bit older than I; though not by much. As usual the time with them was delightful and went by all too fast. I travelled to New Bern to see them. There was a show of old, remodeled cars going on so downtown was packed. Flowers were out in containers at the entrance to shops and a light rain fell leaving the smell of rain in the air and raindrops twinkling in the sun as they clung to potted flowers. Great food at lunch. Great company at lunch. Familiar banter back and forth, laughter, sharing of opinions and mutual respect for one another. I call that a happy time! I am blessed!
Tomorrow is Mother'sDay! I never know how to deal with Mother's Day. This year is going to be relaxed and comfortable with little to dwell on other than it is Mother's Day. Simple! I cannot bear complicated Mother's Day feelings. For me tomorrow is an easy does it day!
%&$*^ cats have run all around me meowing and pawing at me. I fed them (though it was not time) and they have chilled out completely. They must be related to me. Caught a glimpse of a brilliantly red cardinal on my birdfeeder today. Took my breath away for a moment. He flew off quickly. He did not know I could not come through the wall to snatch at him. Boy, that bird was a looker! High fashion red, healthy and proud of it. Probably got eggs all over the place by different females, of course. He got my attention!
Ciao!
