The dirty deed is done!

Which is to say, I've received a new SIM card from Consumer Cellular and, if we don't think too hard about the seemingly interminable period that the support person was away dealing with Verizon ("the account is not authorized for transfer"), the procedure went surprisingly smoothly.

Now it will be up to me to put the phone through its paces.

Plus, I've got 1.5 GB of data to burn before Friday!

Cheers...

Feeling positively accomplished...

About the only thing I didn't get done today was something that's been on my list for a few days, and that's getting over to a local pseudo-army-navy store to get a refill for my Sodastream ($2.50, plus tax, using my own CO2 bottle and adapter, versus $19.95, plus tax—the last time I looked—for an "official" refill.

In other news, I've found out I cannot call Natalie in Canada on my phone, nor can she call me, but that may be a question of the change of carrier propagating through whomever's system(s). Otherwise, it's "so far so good" in the phone end of the world.

Cheers...
