Laura, I have referred to myself as "The Human PDA"(like a Blackberry or a Palm Pilot, not the other kind of PDA) from time to time.
Indeed, including needed to be recharged from time to time.
ION, I have lost the one thing I could talk to my brother about! He is so right wing and so in love with all conspiracy theories that we were down to discussing baseball. I am not a big fan, but I would listen to him talk about his beloved Yankees and pretend interest. Well, they took a knee so he canceled his MLB subscription and will never watch baseball again. Sigh. My sister is at a loss now because her texting back and forth during games was their main means of communication too.
Much love to shrift send her dad.
Oh Laura, I am so sorry about your brother. And everything else.
When I worked in costumes with student wardrobe workers, I had an actual lesson to teach them how to find things for actors, rather than coming to me to find it! And I lose everything! But somehow I was the only person who could find a belt when it dropped on the floor.
Sometimes it's not just organizational skills, it's the patience to work within a system and not blow up at customer service, or give up on phone trees or hold times, or wonky websites.
I'm far from the most organized, but I can keep zen in case of bureaucracy.
Oh, Laura, I'm sorry your brother has gone that far down that rabbit hole. How sad.
With the costume loss thing, it is mostly panic Keeping people from being rational. . So my lesson is that if you can't find it right away is to get a substitute to take down the panic, and then look methodically. And 95% of the time the item is actually right there On the floor , put behind someone else's name, or in the dryer.
I was looking at cabins on VRBO today. Not sure a vacation anywhere except by car.
I just finally found the spare batteries for my water bottle in a place I had checked at least 3 times before today so I'm guessing even if one of y'all were able to tell me where to look it wouldn't have helped
ETA In case I ask in 3-4 months, they are in the little basket by the front door with the other spare batteries. WHERE THEY SHOULD BE
Why do you have a battery powered water bottle?!
Does this have to do with electrolytes? Do you just like a little shock against your lips when you sip?
I think the water bottle has wheels and drives around following -t wherever she goes so that she stays hydrated.
Why do you have a battery powered water bottle?!
I must echo this sentiment. Maybe it transmits via Bluetooth how much you drink?
