radlilimI ended up going home after my eye appointment. They used a stronger dilation solution, which ment I could no longer see the computer screen. I think my eyes adjusted back around 8pm. But taking a half sick day ment I could ride along to drop off Avril, Paul's sister. It also turns out that I have eye allergies and now need to take eye drops to correct that. I hate eye drops. But the freckle that is on my eye hasn't changed since last year, so no tumor.
Our iphone came yesterday too. I can't activate mine until Friday when my old contract is up, otherwise I'd have to pay the early termination fee. But Paul can get his going at any time, so he was hoping it'd come early enough that he could then transfer and wipe his old phone, since he's gifting it to his sister. Well his didn't come till after we left to met their mom, so we'll have to mail it later.
Got home 8:30ish and Paul tried to activate his phone. This requires the internet and iTunes. For some reason our phone/internet at home is now out. No dial tone, net fades in and out, and then dies. So we pack up the laptop and head downtown to a coffee shop so we can use their wifi. He has major problems getting it activated and has to spend some quality time with tech support via IM. We are not sure if he talked to a real person or a computer. Finally just as they are sweeping up we get it activated and head home.
Paul had downloaded the software update while at the coffee shop, so he synced his phone to his iTunes again to try and get his music and stuff on it. Well iTunes won't use that download, it wants to talk to Apple again. The net craps out and his phone is stuck in restore mode. So we get back out of bed and drive back downtown and use the Shamrock's wifi while he updates his phone and gets it working again.
It's all fine now and soon I'll call and bitch out AT&T for the net issues. Oh, and I'm kinda tired.
