I guess this is goodbye--again, never mind

BEFORE GETTING ON THIS BLOG SITE (I decided to leave this on so you could see the progression) I bought a new laptop and now this platform will not let me back in. I have actually been through this before when I hadn't blogged for awhile when blogger was blogspot. It would not let me back in and kept saying my password was incorrect. I finally gave up and got a Wordpress account. Now I have a new laptop and Blogger is again not letting me in. There is no password listed in the Google password manager for this site. I have no idea why. AFTER GETTING ON THIS BLOG SITE: It said to go to another device I have used before and then there were a whole lot of confusing steps that I could not understand. Finally, somehow I was able to get them to recognize me, but I still had to change my password, which, of course, I have not used for months, and if it is not in the Google password manager, I don't have a clue. This is the kind of thing that is very confusing. The keyboard on this new device feels different and sounds different. If seems the whole thing is just a hair smaller. It's kind of weird. It feels like trying to fit your shoe into a size too small or trying on something too tight and squeezing yourself together, sucking in your breath, trying to make yourself smaller to fit. Just have to get used to it. Besides, it's probably my imagination. These things probably have to conform to some sort of universal standard or something. I have home group tonight, well, it's not home group anymore, it's church, in the same location we meet on Sunday, but I'm used to calling it home group. So every Wednesday, I try to write something before I leave so I don't have to stay up all hours of the night after I get home. I have been a bit discombobulated ever since I brought this thing home. It's a Dell, refurbished, with Windows 11 already on it. Before, I had a Lenovo Think Pad. The Computer Store did a wonderful job of transferring the data, and I love its look and its sound. The great tech guy, Joseph, helped me get on some of my apps I use every day so I wouldn't have to worry about so many of them, I just still will probably have to worry about some of them as I go. It was quite a struggle getting connected to wi-fi. You used to be able to call the Internet provider (I don't want to mention names, you never know who you might offend) and talk to a person, and they would actually give you your password, but, not anymore, of course, not in this super-hacked, crime-invested, super-surveilled universe we now inhabit. Now you get a robot voice, and they'll text you a link to "chat," which means a robot will type a bunch of stuff that makes no sense. Cox wanted me to go install some new-fangled app they're offering. That would not be happening. Finally, after about a dozen tries, I got my wi-fi connected, thank you, Jesus. For one thing, the person I talked to at the computer store said SN stood for the serial number, but I knew the numbers and letters to the right of that SN number were the letters and numbers I have used to get online before, initially, and when my brother was here and needed to use his devices. I even called my brother to see if he had it. Of course, he didn't answer. We are all very busy people around here. I guess that's why everybody's so crazy about having more robots to do everything, but we complain about robots, at least I do. I have always hated robots, and now they are likely to take over the world and destroy us humans, at least that's the latest I've heard from another one of those conspiracy theorists. You don't know who's a conspiracy theorist and who's not anyway, nowadays. But I am going to have to wrap this up because I have to change channels of my brain to collect myself, probably wash my hair, maybe go over the songs and shift into going outside in the sweltering heat mode. We have apparently entered what I noted earlier on Facebook, the "go to-the-store before-it's-too-hot" season, so, to be honest, I'd just as soon not leave again until after sunset, but that's not an option on Wednesday night. Oh, well, it will start to cool off in October, and then we'll have another set of circumstances to navigate. Thanks for being patient with me. I've got to go hang my brain on the line to dry.
