That is kind of weird. 😬 Was it sitting there for awhile?I saw a rat (maybe there were two) on the fence outside my window. That was weird, and my family were only talking about those today.
I saw a big one walking along, which I thought was a possum to start with (we haven’t had any of them) and then there was a smaller one I saw a few times. My parents think it could be because of some digging for roadworks near our house, as well as our neighbour’s long grass.That is kind of weird. 😬 Was it sitting there for awhile?
Oh yea. They say long grass can attract rats. There was a mouse in our house months ago but they're gone now. Think it was partially cause the grass outside was long. Thats what I was told and that's how I found out that long grass can cause rats or mice to come to your house. I didn't know that until last year.

Something about the mental image of rats frolicking in the long grass is disturbing.Oh yea. They say long grass can attract rats. There was a mouse in our house months ago but they're gone now.

So the good news is they're sending me a $150 phone free due to the network change. Generous, considering the phone I originally bought was only about $30. That's assuming I ever get it (I don't see any way to track the shipment).I guess this is why Tracfone is so cheap. Their website is horrible. I have been wondering (lately) if my phone is gonna stop working because of the 3G shutdown thing. When I bought it, I thought it would be fine because it's a 4G phone and to me "3G is going away" means "4G will still work because it isn't 3G". But I've been getting conflicting information from my Google searches about the topic and the general feeling I have gotten is that even if your phone is 4G it might not necessarily survive the 3G shutdown (I still don't understand why but whatever).
So I went on Tracphone's website yesterday to log into my account. Which I have the password and everything saved on my password manager so it should be effortless to log in. And it pretty much always is. Except yesterday when I went to log in, it wouldn't happen. It kept telling me "We are unable to verify the information you provided".
So I tried it over and over (because obviously if something doesn't work the first 10 times, it will work eventually if you keep doing it and wondering why it won't work) and kept getting the same result.
So I'm sitting here thinking to myself "This just can't be! I just logged into this account using this exact username and password a week ago with no issues whatsoever! WTF?"
And then, it suddenly worked after 2 hours of fighting with it. Like nothing ever happened. I seem to recall (now that I think about it) that this kind of thing has happened a few times before since I have been using Tracfone. And every time, I thought that either I must be doing something wrong or something had gotten screwed up and would never be normal again and then the situation would suddenly fix itself. At which point I'd realize it's their crappy website having a brain fart.
But also, their website is on the fritz again and I can't log into my account. Which means I can't turn off autopay. Unless I call them. I wanted to turn off autopay before I started trying to get everything switched over to the new phone (in case anything goes wrong).
Even though this is a cheap way to get a phone, it's almost more trouble than it's worth.
Great. So the new phone hasn't arrived yet and they just now cut me off. I can still send and receive texts (for some reason) but can't receive or send calls. I know the new phone won't show up until at least Monday because I looked it up and they don't ship on weekends. I just hope I can still send texts by the time it does show because I still can't log into their website.So the good news is they're sending me a $150 phone free due to the network change.

I don't know that they were necessarily planning on doing this. Or at least I don't think they were planning to do it quite this way. It seems like maybe it was something they knew was going to happen at some point but didn't know when. And then it was abruptly decided to do it and they basically had to bludgeon everyone into compliance by any means necessary.I guess it's time to start shopping around for a new phone. [email protected]'n planned obsolescence!
My mother gave me like 3 days worth of food. I should make it last a week or so.
I have an eye checkup Wednesday. Still have to get up early on my off day. Lol How drab. Then, it's like 30 minutes at least to drive over there. But the appointment itself shouldnt be long. I thought about cancelling the appointment but decided against that.

So as near as I can tell, my phone is still gonna work but if it does quit working, I'm gonna be really annoyed, since I just bought this phone about a year ago and I picked it because it was cheap and I can't afford anything else and I just needed something basic and functional.
And I also had to fight with my mother to get them some newer phones because they've been using the same prepaid 3G flip phones for at least ten years. They had them on autopay and she never wrote the password down for the account. So that was a pain in the butt because I had no idea how they had them set up and had to figure out how to turn off autopay. Which I didn't even know they were on autopay because my mother couldn't remember how she was paying for them. She thought it was included with her regular phone bill but I kept telling her I looked at several bills and they were not on there.
Long story short - They have been paying like $600 a year for basic flipphones for years and didn't even know it. Like they could have probably bought a used car for what they spent on those things in the last 8 years. Unbelievable.

So, the saga appears to be over. I finally got the phone yesterday and transferring my service over to it seems to have gone off without a hitch. New phone blows old phone out of the water in every way (Which is to be expected since the old one was the cheapest smartphone you can buy at $30).Great. So the new phone hasn't arrived yet and they just now cut me off. I can still send and receive texts (for some reason) but can't receive or send calls. I know the new phone won't show up until at least Monday because I looked it up and they don't ship on weekends. I just hope I can still send texts by the time it does show because I still can't log into their website.
But it has cost me one thing. The peace of mind I had with having a cheap phone. I can't replace this phone for $30.
I've been avoiding learning what an NFT is but I finally I finally googled what they are and watched a few short videos. What.
That leaves Eldenring and Metaverse. From the media that has been shoved to me, I can guess that Eldenring is a video game. Metaverse... I don't know what that is at all.

I spent all day playing morrowind in the dullest way possible (perfect leveling), don't regret it.

Hopefully you're not like me, going absolutely crazy with mods. 😅
After 4 years i still have not found a solution for a sleeping apparatus that doesnt need washing, but protects my floor from sweat etc. ive tried a tatami mat, camping mat that was supposedly waterproof (but the coating wore out). im now leaning towards thick long sleeves and pants with socks that i wash along with the rest of my laundry, no floor covering.
If anyone ever designs such a material im sure they will find a market for it.

I make so many typos when I send emails to my online friend. 😒🤣
I had a nosebleed on and off for the past 2 days for some reason. Thought about going to the doctor cause it felt runny earlier. Not like it was dripping blood or anything but like like was still some wet blood in there. I kept rubbing it with tissue and there was more blood on the tissue. It finally started getting dry. Kind of scared me. I got it on my mask but it didn't go through it. Sounds gross but maybe I popped a bloody snot bubble since it's dry now. 😅
One of my coworkers acted all concerned cause I told her about it. But if it keeps bleeding on and off tomorrow, I'm going to a doctor Friday. Hopefully not.

Hmm, seems like my nose is fine. Still a little blood when I wipe it. Probably just allergies or something. Never had a nosebleed this bad but you can always develop allergies later on. I don't feel weird or anything.I had a nosebleed on and off for the past 2 days for some reason. Thought about going to the doctor cause it felt runny earlier.

If thats the case, then I have some of the worst allergies. My eye getting sore and sensitive and blood coming out of my nose and making a mess. 🤣
Ugh, of course I would get a blister from wearing these new socks I got on the treadmill. Why are they so thin anyways? I had to take it slow so I used the incline. Blisters suck
