technologically back to normal?

       TUESDAY 11/5/19 11 AM--I think that maybe it's possible that, working with Apple Customer Service, I might probably have solved my iPhone problems...At 8 PM tonight I can access the App Store and the iCloud...allegedly I don't NEED G Mail on my phone, but I think I do want Google Photos and Google Chrome as a browser...
      12:56 PM--The phone is getting lotsa photos (thru iTunes oddly enough) from the photo app that the phone comes with--I guess the app comes from Apple...maybe at some point I'll get Google Photos; don't see any reason to hurry...and I haven't (officially) taken any new ones ...
         As far as the fridge and the food goes, I think Dianne and I will both have to go to the grocery store when she gets home...I really wanna be napping in about an hour...
   I can't yet remember all the apps I had that DIDN'T come with the phone that I used to have, apps I had to buy...and it feels like there were more than a dozen...
4:22 PM--and I can't get a fucking thing done in the 1180 Lab because the power strip keeps cutting out--and of course I dunno why...
 7:12 PM--I'm gonna try TRY to wait until 9 PM before I attempt to finish setting up my new phone...of course I'm very nervous about it...
8:47 PM--I didn't make it to 9 PM, I think I made it to almost 8 PM...I believe it's all set up...and I added some Google apps-maps, photos, docs...
8:57 PM-- Maybe I spoke too soon...might have to go to Montgomery Mall and visit the Apple store...or not...
 10:05 PM--maybe it just takes time for the phone to settle down and start acting "normal"...it seems to be OK now (crosses fingers)
