Time speeding past

I just realized it’s now been a couple weeks since I last posted and it hardly seems like that at all. Must be the rush of the season this year.

As of this weekend I became the owner of an iPhone on a postpaid plan. Turns out it is more cost effective to go this route than to buy it outright and pay for phone recharges. Plus I get a data allowance each month. Anyway, it’s been interesting to learn my way through the use of the phone. Except I have made a complete phone call as yet. Just checked it would ring through when I dialled. So far I have mostly used the camera with a couple of apps that I found. I’m having the most fun with the hipstamatic app, which uses filter to give photos a retro look. There are different “lenses” and “film” to try out on the app and you can shake the device to get random options with some interesting results. One benefit of this phone is it’s unlikely I would find myself with a dead battery as I tended to keep the iPod touch charged pretty easily. This does, however, go through the battery much faster and I will have to make sure I charge it daily. I suspect there is still a lot to learn about the features on this, since it’s markedly different from the ancient iPod touch.

I had a freaky alert go off on my phone and iPad at midnight yesterday. It tried to persuade me that my recently deceased grandma had a birthday the next day. That would have been fine except her birthday was at the end of October. And my calendar has that listed twice (Outlook reinstall/sync issue). And there was definitely no alert about her birthday then. Or anyone else’s birthday for that matter. I have looked through all my calendars on the computer and can find no evidence elsewhere of this “event”. I’m sure I didn’t get an alert for this last year either. Anyway, I will just think of this as that freaky birthday alert and it will most likely remain a mystery.

I’m still awaiting my mammogram results from almost two weeks ago. I’m supposed to have them by tomorrow so hopefully I will find them in the mailbox next time the mail arrives. I must admit to being a tad bit anxious at lack of news but my more rational side believes I would have been contacted by phone by now had there been any issues. Hopefully will be able to put my mind at ease when the mail next arrives.

I’m sure I had something else to say but honestly can’t recall. Must mean it’s too late to be up writing and I should get to sleep soon.
