missdianeI was wondering why Dad hadn't called me this morning since he usually checks in. I had some issues getting through since no one was actively manning the desk from around noonish to after 1 but I finally got him. Seems SOMEONE was being rather the rabblerouser today.
He didn't call early since he woke up not feeling great but hey, at 87, some days are just like that. However, I nagged him to go and get something to drink. He's bad about that as it is. Anyway, there aren't any activities on Sundays except for a 10am "Sunday Service with the Berrys" which he decided to attend for shits and giggles. The preacher/priest/who knows asked if there was anyone there that wasn't believer and Dad...being Dad...raised his hand. The dude kept him after for a good 45 minutes trying to do a speed save of Dad's soul and yeah, Dad wasn't having any of it. He may have memory issues but that's one thing he's pretty set in his beliefs about. Dad was irritated that the guy was going on about how he did SOOOO many bad things when younger and then he was "saved" and everything's great. Trust me, Dad didn't budge ONE inch. If anything, he's even less willing to believe in any God. LOLLLLL.
Hopefully he doesn't relate the story to either Sis and BIL or the Brother since they won't be happy since they are all saved 'n' stuff. We didn't grow up religious except for when we were babies they did some of the Lutheran stuff so I got splashed, I suppose. I didn't burst into flame so I guess I'm good.
In less blasphemous news, I had to drop a bunch of money today. Man it's been an expensive time lately. My phone has been on and off weird about charging up and then today the battery percentage was dropping and then even went randomly up and when I checked it, it says "service" for the battery. Dagnabbit. I could pay to get the battery replaced but it's an iPhone 8 that was a preowned one that I've had for four years so I guess it was time to upgrade. I'm not one of those people that needs to get the latest and greatest but I'm several levels newer now. With my Verizon prepaid plan, the iPhone 12 was the lowest version currently offered but didn't have great ratings and for about $40, the iPhone 13 had far better ratings so I ordered that. I'd better get my Rakuten discount back (which may be upwards of $150). I also ordered a case, screen protector and wireless charger thingamabob from Otterbox. Merry Xmas to me, I guess. Hopefully it's not too much of a pain in the ass to change phones. I'll bring my current and the new one to work with me so that if I have trouble, I can at least use my work phone to call to get help.
