Woo-hoo, I am the champion: i have all my Dad's apple device on the same Apple ID that has all his history, turned on MFA, synced his keychain (ie: apple's password manager, more or less), changed the email address that manages the account to his address instead of my mothers (an account no one has really looked at in YEARS). Getting the Apple IDs straightened out has been something i have been slowly inching along at for months, even before my mother died.

All morning plus too many cookies.

I want to reply to comments, and so hold off on writing so i can get to comments, but then i don't and then i am quiet. So, hi!

Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday were spoiled by sanitizing our internal plumbing and by replacing the 1998 Ranger shopping. To sanitize the plumbing the 0.5 micron filter was removed and much chlorine added -- and then unfiltered (muddy) water with chlorine was distributed around the whole house until orange water came from every faucet. Ugh. Then we let that sit for hours, and then we had to flush. And flush. And flush. I was hypersensitive to the scent of chlorine and somewhat distressed by it for the next days.

The vehicle shopping was something i think we could have avoided, but Christine was feeling like it was needed. As of Friday, she's decided it's unlikely we will find a bargain, after she test drove a vehicle that had to be jumped to get started. And the doors didn't close. We have hired The Lemon Squad to check out a vehicle that looks too good to be true an hour plus drive away. This is great in my opinion: it's both getting a mechanic to look at it (because i will never trust a random mechanic near a used car dealer to NOT be paid off) and getting information from a test drive without over two hours of road trip. The frustrating part is once we initiated the inspection, there's no refund, so even though we've "given up" there's still what happens if the inspection completes with good news tomorrow. On the other hand, if the vehicle sells this weekend, then we have to find another vehicle to be inspected in the next 90 days.
