woooo, my Fitbit was mad at me Monday morning…
the battery was so low it didn’t want to charge so I had to fiddle with it quite a few times to get it started…
apparently I should have plugged it in before I went to bed 😳…
didn’t get a picture at the time, lol…

today I stopped in at the Apple Store on my way home from work…
for the last few days Siri has just started to talk even though I am not touching the phone… bit creepy actually…
I’d also had a strange message on the screen saying that Apple had found some viruses…
right away I closed all the apps on the phone, but between that and the Siri chats, felt like maybe I should get it checked out…
got in to see someone at the Store within minutes and they ran a few diagnostics and it appears the phone is fine… they did wonder if I might be saying something that sounds like Hey Siri which would then make her respond…
they also suggested turning the phone off every day so it could have a rest;-)… didn’t know it needed breaks too, lol…
then I found the watch repair section at Sears and finally got the links taken out of the purple band for my Charge 2…
came out very nice… now I have 3 choices for bracelets to wear with it;-)…

fun and frustration today…
spent some time cleaning off the deck and then sitting out reading and listening to music… warm enough to just have on a long shirt and culotte jeans…
heard and spotted geese flying overhead and managed to catch them on my phone…
my daughter was working but all the boys came over and we headed out to do some shopping… except that my car wouldn’t start… the boys pushed it out of the garage and into the street where my son-in-law boosted it…
we went to the first grocery store and when we came out the car wouldn’t start again… found a fellow leaving his car and got a boost… went to two more stores and we ran in and left my son-in-law in the car to drive around while we shopped… by the third store we all went in and rushed through to be sure the car would work…
on our way home we went to Canadian Tire and picked up a battery charger…
while supper was cooking, we charged the battery so it should be fine tomorrow…
when we were out I picked up a purple hyacinth and some purple flowers…
the funny thing was that when we arrived home from our vacation the kids’ vehicle wouldn’t start… then, this morning my son-in-law’s car wouldn’t start;-(… but this was the third, so we should be good, lol…

went to the Pool, Patio & Spa show with the kids this afternoon… lots of fun things to look at… checked out some barbecues, fire tables and furniture…
trying to figure out how to get this into my backyard…
went to The Forks, had a snack and wandered around for a bit… had a chance to see some of the warming huts that had been taken off the River Trail because of the warm weather… did some serious Pokémon hunting while we were there… there are many new ones recently released…
on the way home stopped in at Sport Chek and came out with a new Fitbit… my Flex has lasted three years but the battery is losing its charge more and more quickly… I’d done a whole lot of research online and was ready to make a final decision…
chose the Charge 2, mainly so I could have my watch and Fitbit all in one… and it’s purple… now one wrist will be free for bracelets, although right now it is feeling a bit naked…
I just have to figure out how to work it…
