Hello, Barb! 😊 Thank you for your kind words. This new challenge has certainly been a challenge for me in several ways lol. First, with G5’s attempts to stop TT, I had some talismans set in the future to expire just after Christmas. Before I got too far into the new challenge, I wanted to go way out into the future to set new ones. To do that, I had to restore my iPad to the last backup just before the new challenge came out. Thankfully, I backup my iPad daily. To restore my iPad to that backup, I had to enter my restrictions passcode, which I haven’t been able to do for a couple years. I did some research and found a computer program to run on my laptop that looked at my Ipad files in iTunes. It took me almost 24 hours between doing that research, following the programs instructions, and allowing that program to use my files, but I finally got that passcode! That alone made all the work worth it! Once I put that backup on, I was back to TTing and set my talismans. I decided to store up some strength and energy for the rest of that day.

The next day, when I was ready to play the updated version with the new event, there was no update available in iTunes! 😳 I thought I’d lost the entire event, but Tapasz gave me great advice to contact Neo. Between Tapasz and Neo, I uninstalled, then reinstalled the game. Now the event was back, my talismans were set, and everything else was saved! I was so thrilled everything worked out!

Then on Sunday, my iPad display started acting strange with ghost images of apps that I didn’t have open. I spent a good part of the day on Monday talking to Apple support on the phone. We tried all kinds of things and even cleared my iPad several times, but nothing fixed the display. We finally decided to take it to an Apple store for someone to look at it. I did that yesterday, and they said it was a hardware problem. I could’ve had it fixed, with no guarantees of how long the display would last, but we decided to get me a new iPad. We did that today, and it’s setting itself up right now. If it all goes smoothly, I should be able to play and can change my name again!

Sorry this was so long, but it’s been a crazy couple of days around here for technology!

I hope you’re doing well and feeling good. I also hope you’re remembering to take time for you to get your rest! I think of you so often! 🌻💖🌻💖🌻💖🌻
