Rob got me a new phone, a Google, and I have to admit that I am lousy at technology. I still have a landline and refuse to give it up. I have so many questions about the best way to organize things on the new phone. It was hard enough for me to set the clocks up an hour this afternoon.

I woke up way too early this morning with a fast pulse. By the time I got up and ate, it was normal again. Don’t think it means anything, thankfully. On Tuesday I have an appointment with the new doctor that replaced my old one. I loved the old one and am prepared to shop around if I don’t like her (I prefer female internists and have been lucky enough to have a few I really liked.)

Yeah, the Oscars are on tonight and I haven’t seen a movie in ages. Rob has been going to a theater in the nabe, so he has seen quite a few of the nominees.

I am guessing that most people read my essays on their phones rather than on an actual Mac or PC. I have a large iMac that I love and it is here that I pound out my essays. I am wondering if reading them on a phone takes away their impact. Any thoughts on that would be appreciated.

Life on Planet Earth gets more and more distressing, doesn’t it? I am grateful that all I have to do is write and do daily chores. Hopefully we will have lunch out on Tuesday after my checkup.

My Scorpio intensity is always sensing what is going on with people and events. In most cases, I prefer being an observer rather than a participant.
