All Sorts of Hurdles

Unfortunately, getting and reactivating a replacement phone has more hurdles than I could ever imagine.  My wife chose for us the style of phone.... long, long ago, that is named after a piece of fruit.  This company puts a huge number of blockages in the way of being able to fix a situation like mine.  A few of these:

1.  My "fruit ID".  Probably because I am old, I do not constantly mess around with and fuss with my phone.  I do not constantly search for new and better apps, nor do I visit the fruit app store unless I have to, nor do I find it jolly good fun to search around all things "fruit" and fuss and mess around.  So, inadvertently, some time over the last decade or so, I probably had to change the password to get some sort of app for authentication.  But, unfortunately, I had no damn idea what that new password was. So, I had to go through a "new password" algorithm since the destroyed phone could not receive texts from the fruit store.  This meant the fruit store put me in "lockdown" for 5 days while they investigated things and I could not do anything.

2.  At midnight yesterday, the fruit store sent me a text telling me to change my password.  Which I did, immediately.

3.   I have been on the U phone all day, now trying to get ready for activating the new phone when it eventually arrives.  

That is about all I can write at the moment.
