The modern old person

Today I tried coloring my own hair and getting a realistic salon version of my color. I think it worked, but as my hair grows out that could change, so I'm not holding my breath.

I also set up my lights on Alexa, so all I have to say is, "Alex, turn on smart socket, or smart socket 2."  Now if I can only remember that my life will be so much simpler at bedtime, or in the middle of the night.

The unfortunate news is that it took me so long to do it, that I keep remembering all sorts of complicated names for it that don't work. Like Smart Life bedroom socket one!

Ugh! Sometimes I am my own worst enemy.

But I do learn and eventually I will not have to look that up every time I want light. Right now it might be simpler to turn them on by hand, but I will not capitulate.

Every time I have learned a new trick, like using the Garmin, or my iPhone, or a new computer, or camera, or all the Alexa possibilities, it is a challenge.

So far I have been up to the challenge, but I remember adults in the past who had trouble with stoplights and cell phones and even calculators. I keep wondering if there is a saturation point and if I will reach it.
