todayiamadaisyI received a text message today, reminding me to update the vaccination certificate on my phone so it says I've had three vaccinations. I thought it did that automatically, but okay, I'll do that. You'll be shocked - SHOCKED! - to find it didn't go smoothly. I was not feeling up to dealing with that, so I'll try again tomorrow.
The reason I wasn't feeling up to it was that my iMac was playing up, constantly rebooting itself and opening up with a pink and white striped screen. Very pretty, but not really what it's meant to do. Long story short, I think I'm in the market for a desktop computer.
(That reminds me, when I was little, the newspaper used to have a puzzle page with a logic problem on it, and the introduction every week said something about solving it with your "necktop computer". And every week I skipped over it, thinking, well, I don't have one of those. It was years before I worked it out. Clearly I wasn't ready for the puzzle if I couldn't work out the instructions.)
In happier news, look at my new dahlia! It's called Neon Sunset:

4. Regardless of your age, what "old person" thing(s) do you do?
I love a good cardigan. I like nice tins of shortbread, particularly if I can re-use the tin to store something afterwards. I have a bag of Werther's Originals in my car's glovebox. I take photos of my dahlias. Honestly, I'm just waiting to age into my old lady-ness.
5. Do you often get the hiccups? If yes, do you have a go-to cure for them?
I wouldn't say "often", but I sometimes get the hiccups after eating. There's no obvious reason why one day and not another. The hiccups themselves are annoyingly squeaky. I sneeze quietly, but I hiccup loudly. Quickly drinking a big glass of water fixes it. I can feel the water pushing through the... air blockage?
6. What's the best Wi-Fi name you've seen?
That's not really a thing round here. My wifi's name is the default name, and all my neighbours are the same (using the default name, I mean, not having the same name as me). Nothing very exciting at all.
