Nothing makes me feel like stopping my online life like seeing all new stuff when I open a trusted app. I am paying way more for services and getting far less, even being hacked. The only time I feel like this in my life is coming online where I was able to navigate without major problem since 2002.
Is it the chat bots? “Just Answer” flipped on from nowhere yesterday. I saw it happen. I was on my site and suddenly everything changed from PubSite to Just Answer. Is JA spam? A quick look says “yes” … I have been using bots occasionally to ask questions. They were fine until now. Even helpful. I would love feedback if you have any.
Oh and btw I do not have dementia. The brain MRI shows I MAY have had a mini stroke. Or possibly several. One of the side effects of that is short term memory loss. I am so glad I do not have dementia. I am one of those people who catastrophize every little problem. Even when it’s happening I know I’m doing it and my problem will turn out to be much smaller than I imagine. I guess that’s a good trait for a fiction writer.
Still working on Jane 3. Getting closer to conclusion. This is only the first draft! It is very slow going. I need to stop reading the paper. Apple News keeps me glued to “news” that is mostly celebrity gossip. I am going to write my book-in-progress first thing every day. It’s a good habit that I got out of when we had to take a sudden trip to Michigan for a funeral. We flew. It was a fiasco. My roller bag wheel stuck when I tried to pivot and I fell. Yes I hit my head. I landed harder on my knee.
The scariest thing was when I tried to ease onto the escalator. I never had a problem with those before. I just froze and could not do it. My knee really hurt but I used the stairs after three or four tries to step onto the escalator. I used the elevator. That went fine. Now if the elevator had been crowded, I would not be able to use it. My poor husband. He is being so kind and patient with me. I tried the escalator again and I froze again. Yay a new anxiety to add to all the others!
I have not signed up for therapy yet. There’s a new to me type I might try, ATC?? Forgot. I forget so much short term, pretty much live in the moment. Which is a good thing. Mostly. A neurologist is scheduled to look at my brain scan. In October. That’s Florida. Takes a while to get an appointment with a specialist. My doc says October is fine. But she doesn’t know about me falling at the airport. In good news, my knee is just about back to normal.
