It's Been Three Weeks

 

While staying off ALL devices, I watched Bob and Beau sleep, while I went through Zen Color and device withdrawal symptoms. I took photos of Misty and Mister, my ducks that visit 2 or 3 times a week, at  8 am for eating grass seeds, and dunking in the oasis, then fly a way.

 they quack at the door and eat and run. I feed Tommie T the Turtle that lives in the pool, 

 her turtle food is delivered by Wal-mart with our groceries. I took its photo, just in case you need red ear slider food I am absolutely bored out of my mind, memory is going, going gone, its not that I don't have plenty to do, its that I  can't do the things I want to do... I am never caught up with THINGS to do, I just need to do device take me away, and I can't. I still have to type one finger and stay away from devices with keyboards. 

The door latch on the sliding glass door broke in half, I burst into tears. When I finished the pity party, I went online, found what looked like it would work, drove to Home Depot, backed up in the aisle into a basket behind me and fell into the display walls, nor harm Physically. 

I came home and Bob and I yelled at each other while I installed it, I did get it in and it was easier that I thought, the tears were a waste. Bob was telling me how to do it and I was following the directions that came with it by looking at photos. Nothing new, we have never done anything together that did not require yelling.

I broke down in the middle of week three of not touching devices and used AI to make above kittens out of a previously colored Zen color pic.

I spent 15 minutes a day color these beautiful cats with left hand and stylus

and both of these AI only took 2 minutes, with only 5 or 6 taps trying the new Chatgpt that came in email... Above is son Dan's Chloe the mastive and Bandit the cat and below my beloved Beau, I took him for his annual all by myself and did not fall down.

( I fell again in the backyard, caught my foot in a long pieces of grass, crashed like a tree, could not get up, it took me 15 minutes to think of scooting on my bottom to the side of the pool, put my feet on the steps and jack myself up with the handrail)

thus goes the boring life of the Truly MADsnapper

PS, I did manage to draw an Copy Cat from 2 of Ann's drawings, it took 3 days of 15 minutes at a time... I miss you all

It's Been 12 days....UPDATE

 

It has been 10 days today since I visited my primary doctor. Diagnosis: Medial epicondylitis (golfers elbow) also known as repetitive motion tendinitis​.  Treatment: Do not use any device connected to the internet for 1 week, call if its not better. Also sinus problems, 10 days of antibiotics.

Muscles/tendons are inflamed and swollen and  I am wearing a golfers counter force brace with a cushion that presses on the swelling​ and also my own brilliant idea the arthritis gloves for typing if you have arthritis that I found in the drawer of not Christmas past.

 I held my mouth like this to help me focus on saying, Hey Google, take a picture.  Now picture these on both arms, while  typing, poking a device. Which I am not supposed to do for 2 more weeks.

Also picture a dog named Beau on a leash, with a telescoping camera mono-pod, hanging off the leash handle,  It takes the place of the walking stick that hurts my arm to carry it. The stick is not for walking, it is for something to hold on to if I have to lean over to pick up  poop, intended to keep me from falling over.

 I know some of you are thinking how clever, how did you think of it.

I saw a man walking out of Publix, with a collapsible walking stick and came home and decided not to buy. 

I opened the closet to get out the, manual sweeper, NOT the heavy vac, and there hanging in the closet was  my old camera Mono-Pod from the past.

I have no idea how it helps me to hold my mouth in an O to tell my phone to take a photo.

I was told to wait 3 weeks before using my laptop and this is killing me.

Dictation is worse than typing. Dumb Laptop!

See you when I see you, I did find one thing that only takes 2 keystrokes as talking a command. I uploaded AI this photo  it and changed it to this.

My spoken command to Chatgtp was simply, make this person and her dog and make a caricature of them. 

 AI girl said, do you think I got your personality right?

OH MY.. it gathered this and every single word on it is Me. she did describe me, but this is NOT a caricature. I love her anyway because she made me you and cute
