Not a fitbit

bill_schubertI got Dana another smart watch. The first one I got her was not very smart at all and it died. The one I just got her looked like it was better but it was run by an app called VeryFit. I occasionally get annoyed with the Fitbit app but now I love it by comparison. VeryFit is VeryCrapful. It throws advertisements and offers at you right and left and has so much noise on it there is no way to figure out what is useful. It lasted a day. Dana and I had a talk and I upgraded her to a Fitbit watch. I'm the one that has to manage the app which is why she has an Android rather than an Iphone in the first place. So her replacement will be a delayed Christmas present and someone will get a good deal on a VeryFit watch through Amazon returns.
She really does need the pulse and O2 readings. It will help her a lot. She doesn't do enough movement for the steps to matter but hope springs eternal. Maybe she will one day.
Today was a pickleball day and I didn't play very well at all. I did exchange notes with a PB friend about getting a lesson for the two of us together. It is a good way to do it. She and I are pretty good partners and getting a lesson together will help us individually and as a team. On the one hand I don't think I'm ever going to compete with any real intent of winning something like a tournament. On the other hand I really should be looking to improve a little bit anyway.
It is warm today and will be even warmer until Friday when it will nearly hit 80 degrees. Gonna be a lot like last year, I guess. I don't mind. Older I get the less I like the cold anyway. It would be fun to see Beaux in the snow but not sure he'd like it much.
It is a quiet week here. We have zero plans for Christmas something about which I do not much care at all. They had Christmas music on at the PB courts. I've managed to avoid it so far but this was unavoidable. Another thousand times around the track with the Chipmonks and Alvin. Sigh.
I underslept last night so I'm about to make up for it. Beaux and Toby are already ahead of me so I need to catch up.
