Dumb Move

Zephyrhills, Florida  (hi 82, low 58)

The cold front only lasted two nights and not it looks like it will be time to turn back on the a/c.

Yesterday started out with Al heading off early to do some of his few remaining pest control accounts. 

After my normal coffee/computer time, I had plans to tackle a few paperwork tasks around here.

Unfortunately, that all changed when I realized I must have left my purse at the doctors office the day before.  I very rarely take my purse anymore, since Al drives and he carries the cash and a debit card.    No reason to lug around the heavy purse.  I stick a lipstick in my pocket and carry my Droid phone…what else do I need?

I called the doctors office….they said the cleaning crew hadn’t found it.

I was skeptical.  I knew it wasn’t in the motor home or car and we hadn’t been anywhere else after leaving the doctors office.  I knew it was either there, or someone had picked it up.

I decided to drive down and check for myself.  I know how cleaning crews are.  If they don’t see any dirt, it doesn’t get cleaned. 

I got down there and one of the women techs came out and said they cleaned the office real good last night and there was no purse left there.  Absolutely, no way was it there.  Still, I was skeptical.

So…..I asked if they minded if I checked the rooms myself.  I was in 4 different rooms, but I wasn’t sure exactly which four.…and they have a bunch of rooms.   I found my purse in the second room I checked.  It had fallen down by the wall and the color blended in with the color of the carpet.  Yeah…they clean real well.  Boy was that woman embarrassed after assuring me how well they cleaned! 

At least I found it and I could breathe a sigh of relief!

So after that little 18 mile jaunt, I decided to go to the optometrist and get my new reading glasses and change my contacts.  The trial pair he gave me weren’t working so I need to try a different brand.

I got home, messed around on the computer, trying to put some music on my iPod shuffle and on Al’s Fuze mp3 player. 

While watching the Grammy’s the other night, we discovered that we really like Adele.  What an amazing singer she is.

Unfortunately, I downloaded her hit Rolling in the Deep and I got a confirmation, but no song.  It shows that I have down loaded the song…but I can’t find it.  They have a cloud program and I thought I might have messed up when I downloaded it.  I tried another song…no problem..it came right through.

Unfortunately, there is no where (that I could find) to get a live person to help you and their online help system was of no help.  I finally decided to download the song again..another $1.29.  It told  me I had already downloaded the song and asked if I was sure I wanted it again.  Yes…and the same problem. The song was nowhere to be found.  I did get a message saying there was a problem and they were working on it…but no song and still nothing this morning.   grrrrrrr..  

It seems I am not up on this stuff anymore and everything has changed since I last downloaded any music.   I don’t want to have to do a lot of learning or thinking…I just want what I want when I want it.  It might have been cheaper to download the whole album.  The problem with that is getting it onto my iPod and Fuze!

As hard as I try, I can’t seem to keep up with all the technology.

I guess I’ll have to work on it more today because we found we enjoy working out at the gym much more with some peppy tunes to listen to!

Happy Wednesday.
