Electronics - The Joy and Bane of My Existence

Yesterday was the beginning of Daylight Savings Time again, so we "Spring Forward" in the Spring and "Fall Backward" in the Autumn. We basically lost an hour of sleep between Saturday night and awakening on Sunday. Normally this wouldn't be a huge deal - there are several clocks that need to be reset, but it's minimal and quickly done (I leave the clock radios to DH since I seem incapable of setting them accurately without messing up the alarms and causing the darned things to blast out at full volume at extremely early hours of the morning). 

We've had matching clock radios in the bedroom since we 
were college students. They're quite old fashioned, but DH is 
that way too - a bit old fashioned. I never have to deal with 
the darned things, so have no idea how to set anything on 
them properly. It's better taken care of by DH - LOL. 

I, however, have a new digital watch that I have had for less than a week. To change the time on this, it needs to communicate with my phone since it sets itself via Bluetooth to the settings on my cell phone. It decided, however, it wasn't going to communicate, and sat in a funk for the entire day. I took it off my wrist in frustration and cast it upon my computer desk, leaving it there until this morning. 

I love the watch, but getting it reset for the 
correct time for Daylight Savings Time was 
an exercise in frustration. 

This morning I decided I would try once again. I downloaded the appropriate app one more time onto my cellphone and told the watch, in no uncertain terms, to start talking or I would sent it back to Amazon and buy something else (I really like the watch, so that's something I didn't want to do). But, to my amazement, although I was doing nothing differently than yesterday, it worked! I now have my watch functioning once again. I don't have the watch face that I want on it, but I can figure that part out later. At least I'm back up and running. 

I'll get that watchface changed to one I like better 
later today. Right now, I'm just grateful to have a 
functional watch once again, with the proper 
time displayed on it. 

Electronics - they are a joy and a royal PITA and sometimes the bane of my existence. I'm sure it's similar for many of my readers as well. On that note, I'm out of here. DH has to be awakened early so that he can get some blood work done at the clinic before an appointment later this week, so I'd better get going. Have an excellent Monday and Slava Ukraini. I'll be back tomorrow.
