Continuing the discussion from Mini-Month Mini-Rants (Feb 2026):
Been dealing with an annoying cold all week and it kicked my butt today. I slept in until noon and I’ve been coughing and sneezing all day.
What really sucks is that it’s not bad enough to be in “sick mode”, but it’s bad enough to make me miserable. It’s that sweet spot where I’m sort of sick but not really. Make up your mind, body!
I somewhat pit myself.
I had a phone stolen, so I obtained a cheap replacement. Now I want to install various software. It is an non-jailbroken Android, so I am required to use the Google Play store.
But… I cannot remember my password, my previous phone had a password manager for most things except Google’s suite of products (ie, the ones I need to keep secret)… but I can’t recall my latest Google password.
I had to change it because, obviously, I don’t want to lets some random person access to my account. I just failed in that most important step… remember the new password. DOH!
Worse yet, I set up my recovery email to redirect to Gmail. So that address points straight into the account I cannot access.
And on the 1st of March, 2 mass shootings, one in Texas one in Ohio.
