Power problems and a double feature

💭 Reflection:

"Yesterday into this morning was okay. I mean, it ended up really good, but it started off good, and then it went down, and then it went back up again. I had gone over to my laptop and saw that the battery was at 50% while it was plugged in, and I noticed it wasn't charging, so I unplugged it, plugged it back in, nothing. I took the whole charger, pulled the plug out of it, took it out of the computer, took it out of the wall, plugged everything back together, plugged it into a different outlet, plugged it into the wall, I mean, into my laptop, still nothing. So I did what you would normally do to check everything. So I'm like, I need my laptop. Drove all the way down to Gainesville, which wasn't a wasted trip because I got a text that my glasses were ready as well. So I got my new glasses, got a new charger, and then I came home, plugged the charger in, and it didn't work either. And I was getting very anxious because now I'm down to 30-something percent, and then the laptop jumped down and it shut off. So I went into panic mode. I mean, I knew how to get the hard drive out if I needed it in an emergency, I sat with it, stared at it, and I kept holding the power button down, thinking maybe it went into hibernation. And then I saw the power light come on. I'm like, okay, well, that's good. And then I see the laptop, as if it's just starting. It starts, and I notice the battery has a little lightning bolt on it. So then I look on the side of the laptop, and the light was on. So then I went back to my old charger, plugged it in, and it's working just fine. So everything was fine. It needed a reboot. But I've never, ever in the life of doing my tech support, I've ever had to reboot for a charger. That was new to me.

The kids friend friend, and ours by extension as well, even though he’s 24 I think. Anyways he had moved up to New York around April or May, but he flew into Orlando Sanford airport last night. My kids drove down to pick him up and brought him back and so he’s staying with us for I guess a week. I really didn’t know all the details until the other day so it shows the communication here. lol While they were gone, my wife and I, we put our devices down mostly and we watched a movie together that we wanted to see. And then our TV, it’s a new TV and the setup is kind of new and how to use it to get to what we’re used to as it’s a “smart” Google 🤮 TV.

We don’t watch Amazon Prime Video that often, and we enjoyed the movie Table 19. When it was over we saw that there was another movie that looked interesting, one we saw a long time ago tha Prime recommended. The cover looked like Ashton Kutcher but the title was a foreign language. We just hit play, and we ended up watching two movies last night on the couch together. so that was some nice time and cuddling too while she was there, and we haven’t been able to do that in a long time, so that was nice to just have her lay against me with her pillow. That it why my scores were higher than they normally would be. I have the calmness lower because of my little freak out yesterday but overall I survived the day. the day was good. when I woke up this morning, My kids were awake and why can’t they do that we want them up but when a friend comes to visit, “let’s only sleep three hours and we’re good to go”. Kids!!! lol currently, I’m sitting on my front porch right now. It’s raining pouring actually, but i have a cover over my porch, so I’m not getting wet my toe will get an occasional drop, but the rest of my body is dry, but I still I wanted to sit outside. I looked to make sure the porch wasn’t wet for sitting ha ha. I’m trying to make this a daily thing In think it’s my 5 Th day in a row to sit outside with my coffee, of course phone in hands at the moment. lol

And I talked way too much today. 🤦‍♂️ I voiced a lot so hopefully it transcribed good. I reviewed it and it spares ok. You’re a computer program and have worked with me for several months so you should know me by now. 🎶 if you don’t know me by now you will never ever get to know me🎶. I’m done"
