An iPhone Tale

It's a good thing I am keeping everything loose. Plans change by the minute. I'm just flowing with it all and it has been fun. Michael had to run over the hill yesterday morning then collected Don's watch, which was being repaired. Don was still asleep as I tiptoed making our bed before getting dressed, trying hard not to make any noise as he choose to sleep in William's former room with just a wall and a closet separating us.

Finally, Don woke up, I made some of his favorite tea, he enjoyed a Scotch Egg and a piece of coffee cake. Then, we chatted. It was with a start that I realized that I forgotten about rehab class and I had to run to pick up Jeannie! Michael was on his way home and we waved at each other on Highway 1.

Rehab was hard but it felt good. It was a very small class, unusual for a Tuesday.

The rehearsal schedule for last night was rescheduled for Thursday evening, just before our Friday night gig. Instead of going to dinner in the city with Michael and Don and some of Don's friends last evening, I stayed home, did some paperwork and just rested. I am off to bed early.

Here is a great story: We made appointments to have our two iPhone batteries replaced at the Apple Store in the Mall on Sunday. We had an early breakfast on the Avenue and arrived over an hour early to the appointment. Finally, we checked in. We jumped through all the hoops but really enjoyed the young men who helped us. They inspected the phones, I signed some papers and they said the phones would be ready in an hour.

We walked to Nordstrom and had a snack. Back to Apple, they brought the phones out to us. Mine? Great. Credit card. $29.95 for the new battery. Done. Thank you very much.

Michael's phone? "We had a problem," the nice young man said. My mind started to go to the dark side. Oh no! Are we going to have to buy a new phone? They took the old battery out, installed the new one and it would not hold a charge. There was something wrong with a component in the phone so they were now asking us if we wanted a new phone. Get this: a new phone for $29.95, the cost of the new battery.

"Yes, please!" It took over an hour to download everything and to set it up. No problem. He has a new iPhone for a total price of $29.95.

He has incredible luck.
