I am getting closer and closer to getting a new phone. My iPhone7 only upgrades in the 15's I am at 15.8.3 It won't take anything in 16. So far it is working well, but I know there are new things that would be good so I'll have to do it someday soon. I see my macBookair needs an update to Sonoma 14.7 which I will do today. I assume since it is a 2018 model it needs to be replaced too....sigh

101 this morning. Our high yesterday was 82° and it should be just a couple of degrees warmer today, still in the mid 80s and, yeah, no wind today.

130 this morning.

62° was the high yesterday, today's forecast is 67°/43° and cloudy. May be some days ahead with no rain....that is the "forecast" anyway...

Neck is gradually getting better, I have no idea what I did to it . I must have lifted something wrong or just the awkward angle I end up using the computer when the cat decides she must sleep in my lap. And maybe it is all aggravated by the damp weather?

109 this morning.

Yesterday's high was 62°, today's forecast is 74°/45° and sunny. Yay!

Slept a bit late this morning. My neck is definitely feeling much better, which help with the sleeping. I think I'm going to stick with 2 Meloxicam/day for one more day. I don't think that is too much to stress my liver any.

Need to do some tiding in the kitty house and fixing up their beds in there. A few nice days will give me time to get ready for Winter for them.

102 this morning. Our high yesterday was 87° and it should be about the same today, sunny with no wind so pretty nice.
Barbara, I sent you a PM yesterday but I am not sure you got it. I thought you would get a notice but I am not sure how that works anymore. If you did get it good but if not let me know and if not I will try to send it again or just put my message on the Chit Chat page.

Wally, I just went and looked and found the message. I'm interested. Let's take discussion to  Adverts because it is "private". I can't think of another thread there to put it in, maybe skb knows one and can move it later to that.

102  this morning.

69° was the high yesterday. Today's forecast is 68°/38°. Getting dangerously close to that first freeze!

I was doing some goggling on the iPhone 13 and it looks like it has some years it will still be supported. Apparently the 7 is going to become "vintage" (Apple speak for obsolete??) in 2025 so my time was coming anyway. Thanks again Wally!

Today I really don't have any plans, except reading up on the iPhone13. One question Wally:
Can I just get the Apple USB-C to Lightning Cable (1 m) and the Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter  and not use the MagSafe charger? It looks cool and all, but won't just the adapter and cord do the trick too? Trying to be frugal as much as possible. I can get the MagSafe later if I think it will be better as long as the cord and adapter will work for now. Sorry to be such a dunce...

84 this morning, salad for dinner makes for good numbers. Our high yesterday was 86° and it should be the same today but starting to warm up tomorrow and we will be back into the 90s.
Barbara, the iPhone still uses the lightening cable so the charger you have for the 7 will also work for the 13. You don't have to buy anything now and can get the MagSafe charger anytime if you want to use it. It is just another option that the phone can use.

Great! So the little adapter and cable I am using now will still work? Excellent! And thanks, yet again Wally, for the info.

120 this cold morning. 32° when I went out to feed the kitties at 7:15AM. Yeah, not ready for that yet!! The good thing was even with the door ajar in the kitty house the temp there was 41°. I have to get busy training them to use the cat door so I can shut the big door.

Yesterday's high was 64°, today's forecast is 69°/37° and sunny. We are going to warm up some next week, may even make it back into the 80's a couple of days. But Fall is definitely saying Hello right now!!

I'm going to watch the youtube video today and I see in the side column several about the ios upgrade so will watch them too. I'm getting excited about finally making the upgrade! And all the new things I'll be able to do. Several apps I've recently tried to download, I couldn't because I needed a minimum of ios 16 and the 7 won't take that.

104 this morning. Our high yesterday was 85° and is going to be warming up to 95° today. A long way from where you are Barbara. We will probably be in the 90s, in fact in the high 90s, for the rest of next week. Tomorrow is the official first day of Fall but you couldn't tell it from here. It will get here though, just a bit longer here.

The videos help a lot Barbara but sometimes it helps to have the phone in hand to be able to try something they are showing. I sometimes have to stop the video while trying to do something with several steps, several meaning more than one!  ;D

I was wrong, the Post Office is open on Saturday here, I was used to the one on the other side of town that I used when I lived on the mountain that is closed on Saturday. I will try to get there today.

107 this morning. Our high yesterday was 96° and it is supposed to be the same today. Today is the first official day of Fall but it is still a lot like Summer here. We are probably a few weeks from getting to our Fall weather here. At least we are not getting over 100° and the nights are cooler.

I am not sure what I am going to do today but probably not a lot.

103 this morning. Another 32° when I went out to feed kitties at 7:15AM! but should be warming up next week.

62° was the high yesterday, today's forecast is 71°/46° and sunny. Looking forward to a week of sun and 70's and 80's!!

Collecting garbage, more vacuuming, and going through some clothes to donate. Switching seasons with clothes gives me a chance to discard Fall and Winter clothes I don't wear any more. Since I'm going to Podiatrist on Tuesday I can drop off at the Goodwill in that town while I am there.

I'm interested to see if the diabetic shoes are that much better than regular ones.  Doesn't matter since the price (0) is right! But I hope I like them! I've gotten some compression socks (wear about 3 hrs/day to get used to them) and diabetic socks (slight compression no elastic at top) that I do like a lot. Time to pay a bit more attention to my feet I guess.

105 this morning.

64° was the high yesterday, today's forecast is 73°/45° mostly cloudy. It is supposed to reach the high point temp-wise on Wed with a high of 87° then dipping down into the 70's.

Taking the garbage to the road is all that is on the agenda for today. Tomorrow is the busy day for this week (so far). May be makiing a trip up to Target later this week...  ~ cat ~

I wasn't having much lick getting the cats to use the cat door so I took the flap off for now so they can see it is safe to go inside. Some took to it right away and others not so much. At least it is a start.
