I got the scheduled 8 a.m. phone call, but the chat guy set it up with some advanced tier of tech support, not sales support. *sigh* And sales support was supposed to be open at 8, but didn’t really open until ... some other time. Good news: I did get the return tags emailed to me, and the various items are packaged up to go out. I had intended to only return the laptop that wouldn’t charge, which had an intermittent and somewhat mysterious failure, probably a hardware failure, but unclear, even after 2 hours at the Genius Bar and _many_ erase and reinstall the OS cycles. It can now be duplicated consistently _without_ the display’s involvement, but at the point I was on the phone, that hadn’t happened yet, which meant the display could have been implicated. Advanced tech guy wanted me to spend another couple days on this, or send it in for repair. I was like, this thing is brand new, has had this problem from the start, and I’ve already put way too much time into it. So I have return tags and tomorrow, it is getting dropped off at a FedEx office, probably Chelmsford but possibly Burlington. I’m planning on rebuying the same model laptop and display, and may even do so tomorrow, but I’m so tired of the whole thing I might wait a couple days.
Other than that, not a whole lot. I did some house cleaning — we vacuumed and mopped the kitchen floor and I did surfaces in the kitchen. I did the 3 mile long walk by myself. T. wanted creme brûlée, so R. and T. went to the Hudson Lowe’s (I called first) and bought a “Bernzomatic”, a small torch so they could flame the top of it. T. liked it; A. did not. So R. ate hers. A. and I used the egg whites from the creme brûlée exercise to make chocolate angel food loaf. She didn’t like that either, but I sure did.
I had the paella from Sun Basket for lunch. I removed the tofu from the serving I extracted (at least one left, so this supposed 2 serving dish, once again, at least 3, maybe 4 servings) and put it into the air fryer. I added some mushrooms and chipotle hot sauce to the paella and it was much better that way. I think I’ll add some frozen peas to the last serving tomorrow.
We had burgers for dinner, now that the snow is off the deck and we can use the grill again. Altho we are now out of hamburger buns. And numerous other things. There will be grocery shopping tomorrow. Also, there will be another Sun Basket delivery.
Everyone but me seems to have a cold. I think when I was feeling so awful a week ago, I might have had a cold, along with other things. Go figure. I thought it was allergies.
