Day 173, 174 of Sheltering In

Wednesday, Thursday. My back is still out. I went to PT anyway. M let me have heat before and ice after on my back in addition to both shoulders. I also asked to modify what I usually do to avoid the overhead and side band exercises. I did everything else, and even did the stairs. I still hurt. I’m icing now as I type this.

I have to run over to the AT&T store to get my daughter a new charger cord. Her fairly new Belkin cord won’t charge her iPhone anymore. Total BS. I just bought the cord for her about a month ago. The box said Apple Certified and it cost about the same as an actual Apple cord. Ok, so now I know to go to the AT&T store to buy cords. When I went to get my battery replaced about a week ago I had to buy myself a new cord. They gave me a discount, so I’m going to ask for that discount again. The damn software updates won’t allow the use of “unauthorized accessories”. My daughter is freaking out because she uses her phone as an alarm. (Doesn’t everyone?) I Googled. I found a probable solution. If you plug your charger cord into your phone and into an outlet, then turn your iphone off, supposedly it will charge because the iOS software which is coded in a such a way that it won’t allow  “unauthorized accessories”, is not running when the iPhone is off, so the cord will charge the iPhone...allegedly. I told my daughter to try it. I would try it but I gave my nearly new cord to my wife thinking it was only iPhone 7 and up that started having the issue last week. Either my wife’s iPhone 6 hasn’t updated yet, or because it’s an old iPhone 6 maybe it can’t get the latest update. My daughter’s iPhone 6 is several years newer. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Dunno. When I buy a new iPhone I never buy the newest model. I buy the model that has the best price. All I know is if I have to cough up another $29.99+ tax for my wife’s iPhone I won’t be happy. My daughter is paying for the new cord. My son has an iPhone 5, and if I remember correctly his phone can only update to iOS 10. The latest iOS is 13.7.

Like I wanted another errand for Friday. 🤦🏻 I do need to go back to the AT&T store to have them show me how to use the hotspot that we all have in our iPhones since I upgraded to unlimited data. It would have been stupid not to upgrade since we had a small data limit and we’ve been going over during the pandemic. We hadn’t gotten charged overages because AT&T had been waiving them due to the pandemic. Since I didn’t know how long they are doing that, it’s cheaper to upgrade to unlimited. So we upgraded to unlimited, all got hotspots, HBO MAX included free, and got the house internet upgraded to unlimited data with no price increase. So now we have crappy unlimited internet. 🤷🏻‍♀️Since my daughter only has 1 iPhone payment left, my phone bill will be about the same after that last payment.
