FitBit giving fits

I appreciate being able to wear a device that both tracks exercise and gives me the time of day. It would be even better if it would give me the correct day. After playing with it for months, I have the “change the timezones” down. It isn’t fun and normally takes a number of syncs to accomplish it, but sooner or later I manage to get the Surge on the same clock time as all those around me.

Not so for the date. According to the watch face, it is May 4. I have been unsuccessful now for almost 48 hours in trying to convince it short of a sledgehammer that I am the one to tell it the date. Not it refuse to change.

How many software programs does it take to change a Surge? Only one, but it has to work and the Surge has to want to change….

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
