the_rckThe dishwasher installation is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon. I'll be glad to have it done.
I've gotten half to two thirds of the frozens upstairs and into the new fridge. I'm going to put some effort into figuring out a way to fit everything from downstairs into the upstairs. Then I can unplug the one down there. We've never really managed to use it well. I used to keep microwavable meals in there and eat one for lunch every day, but I was pretty certainly making myself sick because most of them had berry desserts. I also got really, really bored with the limited options. There were about three that (ignoring the berries which I didn't know at the time were a problem) I could eat-- chicken and gravy, turkey and gravy, and chicken and pasta.
The new refrigerator sounds different from the old one. I haven't gotten used to it yet. I don't think it's louder than the old one, but it's different enough that I notice it.
I had a dental appointment yesterday. It was fine. I felt the cold more on the trip there and back than I expected. I had lunch at the Brown Jug, just a burger and fries, then got bubble tea. I brought that home rather than sitting and drinking it in the shop.
I played some Ingress, but I'm finding Ingress Prime exceedingly annoying. It devours battery power and glitches a lot. It also operates much more slowly than the previous program did. My understanding is that Android users had an option for going back to 'classic' Ingress. So far as I know, that's not available to iOS users, but I haven't checked recently, so maybe it exists now. Ingress Prime is pretty thoroughly terrible.
Sometimes, when I open a portal to hack, the image I get is from a different portal entirely. It still processes what I'm doing as going to the correct portal, but what's showing on my phone is clearly some other location (this is most obvious when there's only one portal in the location but my phone is showing me two or three within my radius as I try to hack the one I'm standing next to). Sometimes, game necessary icons vanish from the screen and can only be brought back by restarting the program.
Basically, Ingress Prime has some pretty graphics, but it's only marginally playable. I rated it a 1 star in the App Store. I might take it as high as 1.5 since it is possible to play a little, but if I can't play for ten minutes without draining half my battery, it's really useless.
