The past week has been a chain of nasty surprises. One was having my wifi hotspot die and learning one can't just run out and get one, the few available are tied to this or that phone carrier. So spent a lot of time at the library and etc, and paid extra to let my phone act as a hotspot, but could not activate it, none of the 14 possible 'passwords' would work. Today the new one arrived, had to trick the carrier into accepting the new hotspot by using the old sim card, it would not accept the new one. One does get tired of everything being made as tricky as possible.

The frustration level with that and many other things led me to slam on the brakes and work crossword puzzles. I think they are a form of meditation, in that the brain restricts itself to the task at hand and cannot wander and worry.
