A Birthday, and Technology Fried My Brain

Oh my gosh, I have had the most difficult time with technology!

Last week I got on here to post, but when I got on my phone to send pictures it said it couldn't send mail because our username or password was incorrect. Only we hadn't changed our username or password. I spent the next four days trying to figure this out. Finally took it to the store and the guy couldn't figure it out. He spent about 30 minutes trying everything he knew. He added a different app but that didn't work. I finally came home, deleted the original app, then added it again. That finally worked. 

Yesterday I had done a bunch of work around the house and decided to watch a movie while I ate dinner. (Chuck was at work and Beth eats downstairs.) Found the app I wanted, started the movie, only to see subtitles. I don't know about you but I do not like subtitles. I end up reading them instead of actually watching the movie. Anyway, I spent the next 20 minutes trying to turn them off. I was on the verge of tears. I finally texted the family and Sharaya helped me. I think she actually did it from her house. About 20 minutes in, they showed an ad, and it froze. I could hear the movie playing behind it but the ad was still on the screen. I hit the back button and it took me out of the movie completely! I burst into tears, turned off the TV and went to take a shower. I tried again later that night and was able to finish the movie.

Tonight, I sat down to finally write a post but it wouldn't bring up the blog. Instead I got a pop-up telling me I needed to clear the cache - on a browser I wasn't using! After a few minutes I took the laptop out to Chuck, I'm so thankful he was home! I read the directions from my phone while he clicked all the things on the laptop. It didn't work. We restarted the computer and started the process all over again. This time it worked, and sent a verification to his phone, then another verification to our email... oh my word. I'm so done with technology. 

So, tonight I'm just going to wish Sharaya a very Happy Birthday! October 6, she was delivered by c-section. She's always had a very sweet and gentle spirit, she's thoughtful and oh so funny! Family game nights she makes us laugh so hard! She's such a light to our family.
