  My favorite IT person sends me a chat this morning. He says: "Can you tell me if this checkbox is checked?" Once again it's an image. He has me test in Chrome and I show him I have the same problem. He says they're not having it in their Chrome. This is exhausting. For all I know he's not even running JAWS when he tests.

  Last night I had a conversation with a sighted friend who is contemplating the purchase of an EInk device. I found it interesting that there were parallels between his shopping for a device and me doing the same thing with a notetaker. For instance, he could get a device built on Linux or Android. One of them integrates well with Amazon's ecosystem, while the other integrates well with OneDrive and Google Docs. Both only have 64 GB of storage, and he has more than 128 GB of documents he'...

  Good night. #3GoodThings 1: I actually finished a small writing project today. 2: We had a lovely birthday dinner for my granddaughter. 3: I made reservations for a cat cafe. I'm hoping my friend can find a kitty she likes, and that I don't mysteriously find a cat to bring home, too.

  I want to get a power bank for travel. What are your recommendations for accessible, easy to use examples that can charge several devices, everything from a laptop, iphone, SensePlayer, AirPods, Meta glasses and so forth.

  This is a test. This post can be disregarded.

  My book and I are off to bed. I probably won't sleep for a few hours, but I have lots of things to read. There are no fireworks going off in the condo community. Because of the drought that's probably a good thing, but I do admit that I enjoy them. #3GoodThings 1: The SensePlayer is a welcome addition to my tech. I've already spent quite a few hours listening to books in two different apps from it, and have downloaded books from a third app as well. 2: I had good family time thi...

  And now it is time for my book and I to wander off to bed. I think I have about an hour left. This is a mediocre horror novel. I feel bad because it's engagingly written, but it hasn't really connected with me. #3GoodThings 1: I think I may have met some people who will become new friends. 2: I bought my plane tickets and luggage today. Doing that makes this whole trip feel more real. 3: There is lots of good food in my house, which reduces my temptation to order out.

  Good night! #3GoodThings 1: I reorganized my to do list to make it more achievable and just better planned strategically. 2: I was exhausted this morning, but a mid-afternoon nap set me right for the evening. 3: I spoke with my family in Denmark this morning, and although they're quite toasty, both seem to be doing well.

  Good night! #3GoodThings I got to spend a few lovely hours with a fluffy book I'm enjoying. It's probably considered cozy urban fantasy: don't judge. LOL. I spent the afternoon with a friend showing her how to get the Meta glasses to do all sorts of neat things. A friend called me from his cruise ship to chat; I heard about his adventures and he wanted to see kitty antics, so I obliged.

  #3GoodThings A lovely ladies night with friends, learning that all my tech is arriving on Tuesday (the Zoom Podtrak P4Next and miscellaneous other surprises as well as the SensePlayer), and that I solved a problem with my Meta glasses on my own and they're now playing Apple Music again (and they also worked flawlessly with Aira to help me find something I was looking for). Good night all.

  I'm about to start my sleepy time routine, which involves turning off this PC. I hope everyone has a lovely evening. Three good things: I caught up with two friends I hadn't spoken to in a while, and we picked up where we left off, and are looking for ways to stay connected. I found more ways to organize my notes and calendar, and am enjoying using them every day. I beat another Act III boss. My daughter is recovering from yesterday's surgery well and seems to be in good spirits. (Ye...
