Subject: RE: FITNESS & Declutter 2022 - Pandemic redux
Even though it the process is a lot more automated, changing phones is still a pain in the ass. I used a cable to transfer most apps but I'm comparing new and old phone screens and logging in one at a time or downloading and setting up. And it moved about 2,000 photos I meant to not load into the new camera. I've just removed them, they are backed up in several ways. The old SD card will go into an adapter and can be used in a card reader slot. I have to poke around and see if my audio books make the move. A few photos were moved into a family keepers album. Much of what must be done is to turn off wasteful features and delete the games and stickers and other such bloatware.

I'm cat sitting through the weekend. I'll go give medication at midday then head to the gym, so it isn't a one-off trip. I put off buying a new swimsuit to use at the gym, realizing I'll probably get enough points at Amazon from the phone to pay for a new suit next month. (It cost a lot less than the newest release; this is a 2-year-old model, purchased new and will be supported for quite a while. Samsung this time, since LG stopped making phones 2 years ago.)

Rain today, and prepping for a family visit: I'm working on removing the last of the adhesive on the hall bathroom floor so I can put down vinyl tiles or a sheet of Linoleum. Good work for a stormy day.
