When something stops working, it sends me into another dimension. I don't get angry, I lose my mind. Totally gone. Maybe I go to that place first because for so many years I didn't realize I was actually capable. OMG I have a brain and I can do things!
For some reason, I still have to go to the stupid place even for only a visit before the brain kicks in and I proceed with the fix. What made me write about this is the little five minute idiot time I took last night. When I watch Netflix, I use the beautiful, glorious, noise reducing Bose headphones my daughter sent me. Insert a quick comment here: Listening to MUSIC through these headphones is a reminder to me of what it will be like in heaven. Anyway, last night while watching a little movie on my computer, wham! No more sound. I checked the cords. I checked the receiver. Then I opened the headphone battery compartment and found a AAA battery in the drawer. But it obviously was just in there to tease me. It didn't work. So I took one battery out of the wrist blood pressure monitor and huge relief, the headphones were again singing in my ear, so to speak. Aaaaaaah. Life is so good.
I leave tomorrow morning to spend time with my daughter and her family in Arizona. Here is the link to an article in their local paper about her store. Picture me there for the next 8 days.

Enjoy your trip!
I love your description of what happens to you when something stops working. I'm glad you found the fix.
Have a wonderful trip.
Glad you got your headphones back to working! Battery compartment? Mind don't have a battery. When they're gone they're gone. That's why I always have a spare set or two. I'm a minimalist, but I'm also an engineer and redundancy is a big deal! Keeps me from going to the "stupid place"!
Enjoy your time with your daughter!
I hope you remember to buy new batteries for your blood pressure monitor.
ha. i hear you...computer issues do that to me...boggle me...frustrate me....have a great trip and visit cici...
Enjoy your visit to Arizona
Have a great trip! We might even be having a pretty decent wildflower season this year so you may have a lot of color out that way. Hope so. Happy Trails!
Well said!
How wonderful it is to discover the power within.
Enjoy your day!!
I'm in the middle of my six-day trip. Enjoy your vacation! I use those headphones, too. They make a huge difference in quality of listening, don't they? :-)
Glad you were able to fix your headphones! I guess losing sound that way is the modern day equivalent of having the film projector break down.
Have fun with your daughter and family. That store looks like such a fun place. I'm going to go find the Facebook page.
Ha.. you sounds like me! Enjoy your time with family. I know you will.
Have a great time, and watch out for the Apache war parties!
