November, you have been a beast. I’m glad you are over. December will certainly have its challenges, but hopeful for good news. 🤞🏼 Friends, please continue to pray for my intentions, especially for the health of a beloved relative. 🙏🏼

Stolen iPhone update: it’s now in Shenzhen and I’ve gotten text messages: pretending to be Apple, begging bec phone was bought for child, and today threatening to kill me. Reporting to local police and spoke with @Apple customer service who was really helpful & reassuring.

Just when I thought the crazy week I had was behind me, my iPhone (+2 others) got stolen at Trader Joe's. Managed to get a new iPhone, but couldn't get @AT&T @ATTHelp to activate it so I need to go to a store tomorrow... & need to report & reactive my @enjoyGLOBE number too...
