a few days ago my Fitbit wouldn’t connect to my phone… very odd…
then, all of a sudden, the screen went black… I put it on the charger, but that didn’t make a difference…
eventually I went online and found instructions on how to restart the Charge 5…
I followed the instructions and put it on the charger overnight…
happily, it worked perfectly after that;-)…

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…

waited for my Fitbit to charge before going out to shovel the sidewalk today…
and when I got back into the house, there was the Fitbit, sitting on the counter, still attached to the charger…
really not counting the steps, lol…

while my son-in-law was here at the end of August, we tried to install a tp-link switch in the computer room… an issue with wires meant we couldn’t do it…
it didn’t seem like that big a deal, so I left it alone…
today I removed the cover and put in one of the Philips Hue bulbs… the cover will have to stay off so that it gets sufficient air which is okay…
and, with this bulb I am able to dim the light which will be especially good at night when I am charging my Fitbit…
funny how a simple solution can be found if it percolates for a while, lol…

a few weeks ago I ordered a couple of new bands for my Fitbit… they arrived and were excellent…
one is very fancy, but needed to be adjusted… a few days ago I cut off a portion of it, but it was still too large…
yesterday I tried again and now it fits perfectly and looks great;-)…
very snazzy…

been laughing off and on for days…
all of a sudden, a few days ago, it sounded like the computer was making a noise each time I received a text message or phone call on my iPhone…
it was kind of creeping me out…
a few nights ago, while I was on the phone with my daughter I heard it again and then I heard something fall…
that’s when I started laughing because I realized that it was the old Fitbit which I had put on the shelf in the hall and hadn’t disconnected…
it was vibrating and responding to each text and call and eventually vibrated right off the shelf…
found it on the stairs, lol…

I’ve had a Fitbit for 5 years and I really like it…
in that time I’ve probably had about three versions of them…
I’ve also had a few replaced due to various problems…
last week I sent them a photo of my Fitbit screen as it had been filled with gray lines for about a week…
they responded the same day and offered up a few suggestions as to what I might try… after I tried their ideas and nothing changed, they advised that my Fitbit was still under warranty so they sent me a replacement, which arrived yesterday…
last night I set it up and it is working perfectly…
they sure provide excellent customer service…

big girl pants, Charge 3, defective, Fitbit, good service, replaced, service, widow
yesterday my Fitbit went dark again, sigh…
I went ahead and hooked it up to the charger and held it for the requisite 14 seconds and it came back on… although it seemed to take forever to get completely charged…
then I emailed the person who had given me the directions on what to do, just to let them know that it had happened again…
tonight I received an email advising that they will replace the defective Charge 3…
have ordered it and it should arrive within a week… unfortunately it comes with a black band rather than the lovely purple one that mine came with…
once it arrives, I will just change to my band…
pleased with their service…

yesterday, mid morning, all of sudden the display on my Charge 3 stopped working… my battery was fully charged and it continued to record and buzzed at appropriate times… just couldn’t see anything… Fitbit foibles…
so I called the Fitbit support line and they told me to hook up to the charger and push the button for 8 seconds… sadly I didn’t have the charger at the office, but connected it when I got home… that didn’t fix it…
it was late when I emailed the person who had sent me the directions, but I got an email back this morning… another set of directions… this time held the button for 15 seconds…
it worked… hurray… don’t realize how much you depend on it until it isn’t working…
hope this isn’t a sign that it is going to have problems… the kids gave it to me for Christmas and I love it;-)…

had a lovely day…
up at 5 to FaceTime and exchange gifts with the Ottawa kids…
my son-in-law was working so he left the house around 6… this year it wasn’t nearly as cold as last, lol… which was good… last year when he headed off it was -40 with the windchill… this morning, when I checked a while after he’d gone it was only -18… practically a heat wave…
everyone was up by about 7:30, so I didn’t even have to bang pots…
thoughtful gifts were shared and everyone was pleased with their haul…
one of my gifts was a lovely top with herons on it and another was a Fitbit Charge 3 which I have been eyeing for quite some time;-)…
we had a sausage, potato, spinach and cheese casserole and then headed off to the movies…
went to see The Grinch at Grant Park… the theatre has what appear to be recliners for everyone to sit in and you pick your seat ahead of time (like on planes)… we sat in the wrong ones but eventually got to the right spot…
then it was on to my house where naps were had by many as the dinner cooked…
supper was ready as the daddy arrived just after 7… delicious turkey dinner followed by his presents, a few minutes of device time and away they went…
a bit of time tidying up and now I am relaxing in front of the tv… wondering how long I will stay awake, lol…
