The Story continues

Ever have one of those days when you are just sure your name is on the universe's shit list?  Yesterday was my day....most horrible....most irritating...just a shit day....thus no blog.  (It doesn't sound like it's much better today, does it?  But it is....it really is!!!)

First I'll just start out with all the house photos.  Here's my house.  It doesn't look much different than it did when the workers first started over a week ago.  

December 3

December 8

December 10

I kept thinking maybe there would be some difference....nope the whole house is a mess and we got word we would be back in the house by December 18th.  I'm not holding my breath on that one! But, we have a roof over our head and all is well.  Thank you, Lord.

More about yesterday.  I woke up and my phone was dead.  I plugged it into the charger thinking the battery died in the night.  Nope.  Used Boy's new phone charger (remember Boy and I got new phones right before Thanksgiving....this blasted phone isn't a month old), but still no luck.  Decided to go back to Sprint, but they were closed till 10.  I was at their door looking at the hours sign at 8:30. Hmmm, Career Girl said I might have to go to the Apple Store so I googled it before leaving and found that in my SOTX area, Apple Store is at some Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory (Big HMMMM) or Best Buy.  My best guess was that Best Buy was the best place to go although I could have had a fun time showing my phone to the chocolate factory employee.  I didn't want them to think I was some senile old fart and make fun of me. Poor old woman is getting her eating and talking mixed up!  Can't you just hear it now.  Sorry, can't help you with your phone but why don't you run over to Sprint and ask for a pound of fudge.

Well the Geek Squad couldn't help me and suggested I come back at 12:30 when the Apple Store rep would be in.  I had already waited for 10 a.m. at Hobby Lobby and I wasn't about to wait it out at some other fun Strawberry shopping excursion.  So I headed back to Sprint and guess what?  They have the magic touch....that damn phone turned on for that young good-looking sales boy like a cheap whore.  WHAT!!!  What did you do, Eddie?  He smiled and said don't go to Best Buy- always come here!

I'm letting you in on Eddie's secret.  First of all he held the side bottom and the round button on the front of the phone down at the same time (as if he were taking a screen shot on the phone).  Secret is out!  Next he told me that Apple phones need to shut off at least once a week like you shut down the computer.  If one does not power down the phone at least once a week, the phone shuts down itself.  Ah ha.

And now you know the rest of the story!
