(tasks for the day, that is)
The big thing is that![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
cattitude and I have signed the lease for our new apartment: the realtor picked us up here, drove us to the management company's office in Allston, hung around while we read and then signed things, and then gave us a lift to Harvard Square, because I needed to go to the T-Mobile store there.
The goal of that was to pick up the warranty replacement for my iPhone. I insisted on having them load the data onto the new one, rather than bring it home and use the backup on this machine, because I hadn't tested the backup. First they had to update iOS on the "new" phone (it's a refurbished and allegedly tested used device), which was taking long enough we went to get a bite to eat.
Then we came back, and were still having trouble getting the apps onto the phone, downloading email, etc. We tried various things (none of it very interesting) before concluding that this phone was worse at data than the one that it was supposed to replace, so they're sending the intended replacement back and ordering another. And I am very glad I didn't bring it home before discovering that.
It was 12:30 or so by then, so we stopped into Tea Luxe to caffeinate me before going to the drugstore. I have my prescription, we got razor blades, and I stopped in our garden on the way home and cut a cucumber. A bit small and slightly pale yet, but having had one fruit wither on the vine, I wanted to grab it while the grabbing was good.
Also, the sunflower is starting to bloom (one plant, several more flowers developing) and I picked and ate two cherry tomatoes while waiting for the realtor.
