gone viral

The trickle down of COVID continues to impact us in all areas of life which include the supply chain for retailers and availability of support for products.  For example, I have spent the entire morning trying to reach Microsoft to cancel a subscription.  It should be easy according to their tools but when I tried the cancel subscription option I was told I could not because it was "already paid for."  Okay then.  I've made three different calls to their line seeking support for this issue with the current one lasting 46 minutes on hold.  Dude keeps telling me to visit my Microsoft store but they're all closed.  And besides the closest one is in Nashvegas.  I suppose that all the peeps are even off due to the virus or working from home.  I thought this would be an easily reconciled issue but nooooooooooooooo.  Nothing is easy anymore.

I remember once upon a time suggesting that our church purchase a "phone tree" to keep members updated on important news.  It was a new idea at that time but it happened.  Now you can NEVER talk to anybody in person.  Press 1 for English.  Please be advised that our menu has recently changed.  Yadayada forever and ever amen.  

It's a beautiful day once again.  Despite peaks and valleys I feel blessed.  I have decided to move ahead with my life by making yet another appointment with the surgeon in Memphis.  My friend will take me, she of undying support and friendship.  It will happen this time come hell, highwater, or virus.  He has not laid eyes on me since March and will need to see my scar and tell me what to expect recovery wise.  What I expect is another open incision and 5 day hospital stay barring complications.  Everyone was so kind and loving with the emergency situation even though I don't remember a lot of it.  

I'm walking barefoot around the house in socks attempting to work through the ankle situation.  Ellie ate another remote for the smart TV so ummm.  I usually watch on the laptop anyway because one of the dogs is always in the recliner.  I don't do well with kicking back and being still.  It's just my nature to keep moving.  

My Lake county cousins delivered some tomato basil sauce and garlic to Bubba for transfer to me.  I showed him how to use the abdominal support wrap that she gave him so hopefully that will help his situation.  Meanwhile, I caught a visit with my former sister in law wannabe and her man over at the gas pump.  He's about to retire too.  All of us are at that golden age.  

I saw Mamye at the 'gentral while I was getting dog food and propel so we chatted a bit in the parking lot.  She and Yaya are my daily go to welfare checks.  

Y'all enjoy the nice weather and be nice.  Don't make me smack you with a newspaper!
