Sometimes easy stuff is frustrating 

    I tried to order tickets for an upcoming play.  I figured out how to pick out accessible seating, and picked out two seats.   (I know, it is impolite to pick your seat in a theater.)

    Google gives you a virtual credit card so your real card numbers are not floating around in space.

    But when I entered the virtual pin, the number was invalid.  I tried several times, and it came invalid every time.

    So I went back and entered my real credit card.  

    At first, the feedback was expiration date not entered.  But  I could only enter 3 digits.  If the expiration was 12/25, I could only enter 12/2.  

    After several attempts, the correct date was accepted.

    Then it was on to the dreaded pin.  I entered my 3 digit number and it was invalid.  I know it is the correct number.  Entered again.  Invalid.  Again. Invalid. Again, Invalid.

    At that point I exited the system, frustrated by technology.

    Then I learned as of Sept. 29 my Nest home thermostat will no longer be supported.  I have no idea what that entails.  I think it means if I have a problem I am on my own.  But I am not sure.

    The reason was the cost of updating was too much.  Wouldn't you think they would have thought of that before they sold thousands of Nest home thermostats?

    Luckily I kept the old thermostat, just in case.  Course, I would have no idea how to hook it up.  And maybe I won't have to.  I just don't know.

    I need to take the computer in to see why it is running so slow.  Emily told me to do that during the pandemic and I never did.  Funny thing, ignoring the problem did not solve it.

    If I remember  correctly, I had a hard time making an appointment with Apple.  That may have been why I never took it in.

    Tomorrow's a new day and I will try again.

    I was in the car and had on Margaritaville on Serius.  They were playing a concert Jimmy did last February in Key West.  As I listened I got very sad, very, very sad, knowing we won't get to experience those live shows again.

    You never know when you do something for the last time, do you?
