Married to Devices, Tied to Technology

I’ve been wanting to watch Anthony Hopkins in "The Father," especially since he’s up for a best actor nomination this Sunday at the Oscars.

But our Xfinity bill was a bit late. Dan paid it down to a zero $ balance over the phone last night, and that usually has our system up and running within minutes.

But when I try to rent the movie (it still costs $19.99, on top of our regular bill), it still says contact Xfinity billing.

So now I went on line to xfinity.com and clicked  "system refresh." It’s in progress right now. I hope I can see the movie tonight. My movie partner, Dan, has an article deadline.

But I’ve wanted to see Mr. Hopkins ever since hearing an interview with him months ago on NPR.

Good night.

1. Taking care of others in the world feels good. I donated platelets today at the donor center in Paramus. They need more donors, for both blood and platelets.
2. Talked to Mrs. C. on the phone.
3. Talked to Skipper about expectations around her return to our home & life this Sunday.
4. Talked to her Mimi, ditto. (We support each other.)
5. Iced coffee.
6. Nice salad with spanakopita.
7. Zoom call to catch up with friends Grace and Candy.
8. Yay, the system refresh worked.
