My smart watch had gone haywire last week. The stress sensor kept going off, telling me I’m in high-stress mode. I may be stressed, as the result of living under the same roof with two somewhat crazy family members but I’m not stressed 24/7. After doing some digging, it turned out, I’m not the only one experiencing this, loads of people have complained about this, too. One even wrote the stress sensor went off while he was taking a nap, talk about an annoyance.
The culprit – the recent update.
Do you remember in the olden days, when computer updates actually solved problems and made the system run more efficiently? The days before all updates became universal, when everyone in the world would have to install the same update and end up with the same problem?
Ugh!
Now I will have to wait until the next update to hopefully get this thing fixed, although, it hadn’t gone off in the last few days, I don’t know whether it’s because it’s the weekend or there was an update installed without me knowing. Scary…
My mom is a confusing person. One minute she’s telling me she’s looking forward to retirement and the next, she’s dreading it.
She wants to retire in 2 years, when she’s 62.
“I’m afraid I’ll be bored,” she keeps telling me. I told her to get a hobby and this was her response, “I’m not you and I don’t want to spend money on crap.”
I don’t understand what this means. Why is she comparing having a hobby to me? Sure, I have lots of hobbies but that’s because I dread being bored. The last time I had nothing to do, my mom beat me into a depression, which I never want to experience again. Technically, I have to have hobbies because of her.
Right now, she has no one to need cared of. Her only kid (me) is grown-up and wish to be left alone. She has no grand-kids that needs taking care of because that would only be a nightmare for me. All she does all day is watch YouTube and lie around the couch. And frankly, I wish I can help but she’s just a stubborn person who refuses to be interested in anything and anyone but herself.
