Year Three, Day 296: Clearing My Cache

Today I learned how to clean my phone's cache.  I am determined to figure out this cell phone! It keeps giving me messages that I am out of storage.  Even after uninstalling my beloved "Words with Friends" and sending most of my photos to Google photos.

Most all of which are pictures of the Schnood.

The only apps I have on my phone now are Starbucks, Facebook Messenger and TriMet Hop.

Yet still it says I am dangerously out of storage!

Arrrggg!

I read up a bit on how to increase storage with my particular phone.  One recommendation is clearing the cache.

I did that. It helped a tad bit.

I must admit, part of my frustration is that I really miss playing Words with Friends.

I was considering installing it to play a few games on my bus rides and then uninstalling it again.

I'm honestly glad my phone has storage issues. Because that would be beyond madness!

I actually am starting to come back down to earth. I did much laundry today, hooped, practiced that piano and cleared out all the spam in my email back to the beginning of the year.

I really have been wasting a lot of time on that game! 

Today, as I was riding the bus, I looked around me.  Most of the other passengers had their faces buried in the cell phones.  It was like that old 60's song, "She's Not There" by the Zombies.  Indeed, I felt like I was on the zombie bus! 

Although I do value the internet, especially my blog, the research potential, and the ease of communication, they do not call it the "world wide web" for nothing.

You can get trapped like a fly, paralyzed and waiting to be eaten. But in this case, not by a spider but by having your time sucked away from you.

My solution is to stay as grounded in the real world as possible. To go about my day, fulfilling my obligations, achieving my goals, doing my daily tasks. And then at the end of the day, as a reward (instead of food!) I will allow myself a few games on my computer before bed.

It really is not the same. My laptop is old and slow. Kind of like me! lol

But this feels more dignified. I am supposed to be a good Christian woman of integrity, after all!

So I am going to play a few games and then hit the hay.

I have to get up before dawn tomorrow to commute over the river to see the Schnood! I can hardly wait! I have not seen that little rascal in four days!

The Schnood is my very good addiction.

Thank God for grandbabies!

Have a lovely evening.

I will talk to you tomorrow!

Love,

Zita

P.S. Here is today's hooping video. Day 255!

Day 347: My Big Fat Greek Salad!!

I have perfected the art of making a Greek salad!  I have made two huge bowls in the last week. My kinds rave. Essentially the secret is f vegetables , good feta cheese, Greek olives and a homemade dressing made with light, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, red wine vinegar,  and oregano. Here is my recipe: MY BIG FAT GREEK SALAD Serves 4 hungry adults 4 cups greens (I used a "spring mix" from Fred Meyer) 2 cucumbers 6 roma tomatoes one small red onion 1 cup cubed feta cheese 1 cup Greek olives (pitted) Get out a big bowl. Peel a clove of garlic, cut in half and rub it over the interior of the bowl.  Wash the lettuce if it is not prewashed and packaged like mine was.  Dry the leaves, and tear into bite sized pieces. Throw into the big bowl. Note: Romaine lettuce is good to include in the mix, because it is hearty. Peel the cucumbers and dice. Add to bowl. Cut the roma tomatoes in half and squeeze out the seeds (otherwise they make th...

Year Two, Day 307: Chasing Away The Gloomy Weather...with Music and a Smile! :)

It seems to me that most of the city is depressed, tired and sick. I still have my low grade snuffly nose, along with sneezing, and itching eyes.  Low energy. It is nice to know I am not the only one. Misery loves company, don't you know! Even through the gloom, I had an enjoyable day.  I told myself several times that I really am a lucky woman. My kids are grown, I'm going to be a GRANDMA, and I love my work. My church job is a nice secure little job and it seems I am quite needed there.  I am still learning the ropes. But I am enjoying it. Meeting new people. And best of all, I have only a 1 1/2 minute commute (by foot!). I have a cozy little room in a household full of wonderful laid back people.  People who love animals and music. But best of all, my afternoons are filled with music. I basically get on the bus and travel about town, sitting at pianos, visiting with students, who are like my family. We talk. They play the piano for me. I offer pointe...

Year Three, Day 110: I Like Change, But How Do I Help the Suffering?

I woke up in a bit of a panic this morning. I had planned on getting to the track by 6:30 a.m., because I thought today was the first day of school. You see, the public is not allowed to use the track when school is in session. Understandably so. But alas, I overslept! I still headed out with my hoop, hoping it was before school hours at 7:30 a.m. And I breathed a sigh of relief. The school looked vacant. And only one solitary jogger with her solitary dog was present. I got busy in case the kids were due to arrive. Got a nice hoop workout in. No sign of children as I walked back to the house. So I did what I should have done in advance. I consulted Google. And most happy am I - North Clackamas School District does not start back to school until September 6th! Portland Public Schools start today. But the elementary school next door to the track lists "student hours" as 7:45 - 2:00 p.m. So I really am going to have to get an earlier start next week. I am aiming...
