Let’s see…what’s happening? Don used our neighbor’s snowblower yesterday and it worked just fine on our driveway. Then he took it back to their property and proceeded to snowblow their driveway and it promptly stopped working. Since there was so much sleet mixed in with the snow, there were chunks of ice “like bricks” between the blades. Don cleared all of that out. The engine runs perfectly. But the blades won’t turn. He went back later and tried it again. Still didn’t work. So he called our neighbor to explain what happened. Of course, Don feels guilty, but he didn’t do anything wrong. It just happened. We’ve offered to pay for repair or a new snowblower. Meanwhile, our snowblower doesn’t work. Crap.
One of my Instagram accounts has been hacked, I think. It’s the one I use for books and reading and I don’t use it all that much, but it’s a pain in the tush. I keep getting a ‘challenge required’ message which means they want to verify your identity. Normally, that would mean an email would be sent to me, but I’ve received no emails. And that makes me think they’re sending them to another address – like that of a hacker. I’ve tried contacting IG support, but who knows if they’ll respond? Is it worth it to start another account? I’m not sure. I have two-way verification turned on for my main account and foolishly thought that meant the other two accounts would have it, as well. Nope. So I turned it on for Sophieandherpals. And now, I’ll just watch the other account and wait.
And, of course, there’s Ukraine, which I can’t get out of my mind. Nor should I.
Anyway. I should get my egg cups back today. These sad little empty cubbies will have residents again. UPS delayed delivery until today and made that decision ahead of the storm.
Don just slipped on the ice and hurt his shoulder. He insisted on going to recycle anyway.
I hope he’s okay.
Stay safe.
Happy Saturday.
