Old age speaking.
I have already written one post and lost it so if this appears with another similiar post please forgive me. My age is becoming all too apparent. My main problem is remembering pass words. I invariably get them wrong. Getting locked out of my new ipad is simply outrageous...but its happened. I spent a long time yesterday talking on the phone with an advisor who failed to give me the advice I needed to get back in. I will continue to blog whilst I am able but its getting harder...My various pads and my computer all seem to have minds of their own just now..... and its not mine. Yesterday my cleaner didnt arrive but phoned instead. That was Ok...I can still push the hoover round. But it meant no chat..I value the conversation more than the dusting! My life is already fairly simple but we are fast approaching a new sort of life...which worries me. I want to be self suffecient but its getting harder. I have cast my eye over the various options....Old peoples home? oh hell! Not yet Lord, not yet! I am perfectly comfortable here in my house...but some help occasionally is clearly needed! So lets just get on with it!

Age is getting to all of us. I try hard to remember things, but easily forget. But important things sometimes slip past me. Despite my diary having them in it. I forget to check the diary daily, something I once did automatically.
Electronic diaries are all well and good, but you have to remember to update them...
Yesterday, I did a blitz on paperwork, and filled things neatly in a new folder in date order. An hour later I scrabbled around for a letter needed to respond to a phone call about a GP appointment and than remembered I had filed it. So, a scrabble through the file brought it to hand.
And, I went to pick Jen up from work, she was delayed, and we missed an important scheduled call from a therapist for her. When we rang her back, we got the message that our office hours are from 0830 to 1630, our call was at 1631? Missed by a minute. Now we have to wait for something from them today. It is important as it is about a drivability assessment for Jen following her stroke. And she wants her driving licence back.
So, please don't worry about going into a home just yet. Muddle along as we all do and eventually things will work out.
As for your Apple products, I am even more convinced that their service is poor and the help that they give is probably from some spotty youngster, sitting behind a phone, smirking away about how clever they are and how silly are their clients.
At least with microsoft I can do most things for myself. But British companies are not so on the ball. One website I use continually fails to recognize my password, and puts me in a continuous loop of changing it, with emails and security codes to a particular phone before I reset, than fails to recognise the new password when I log in. So, I have now told them via their facebook helpline that I am withdrawing my custom as their customer service is so poor. That isn't an option for you, stuck with Apple. Oh Dear!!
