I am very tired, physically, mentally, and emotionally. Normally I'd work through it but as we're still hoping that Husband will have his op in late January/early February, and things can only get harder then, temporarily at least, I decided to book myself a week off.
I'd like to say, "In a spa hotel," but that's not going to happen. What is happening is that I'm not going to do my volunteering on Wednesday and Friday, and we're going to eat ready meals or the equivalent all week. (It's the thought of planning food as much as anything that grinds me down!)
I messaged Stu in Zac's early this morning to ask/tell him I wouldn't be in, before I could chicken out and guilt got the better of me.

This afternoon we walked with GrandSon1 and Toby and had great fun breaking ice. I would show you a photo if the connection between my new phone and my pc would work. What do you use most, phones or pcs?
I use my pc for just about everything so need a good method to get photos from phone to pc. I currently use Phonelink - or would if it would work - but that doesn't share videos either.
Incidentally GrandSon1 is learning Japanese on Duolingo. He will probably be fluent in Japanese before I am in Welsh.

Back when I had a PC computer and an Apple phone I would email myself photos from my phone, save them to my hard drive, then upload them to blog. Now I have a Mac desktop, which seamlessly interacts with iPhone.
I use only tablet or phone for everything. Haven't had anything else for years. I can't see the point, as I'm not a professional photographer, of faffing around with anything more complex!
I think it's very wise to take a rest week to fortify yourself. Just laze about and do nothing but rest and rejuvenate! When I take photos on my phone, I just email them to myself and then, when I'm on my computer, transfer them from my email to my photo files.
I prefer to use my PC for most things. The photos on my phone go to google photos and then I'm able to easily download them on to the PC if I need any of them.
You can have iCloud on your computer and that will sync with the Apple phone. It is one more step to download them to you computer.
I used to do what Kathy does, and sometimes still do. Otherwise, iPhone photos are downloaded to Amazon photos and if I want to use them I save them to my PC. I save WhatsApp photos to my PC, too.
Taking a step back is sometimes the best thing you can do, especially when things are emotionally and mentally taxing. I hope your week off gives you a bit of respite, even if it's not a spa hotel! Rest and recharge as best as you can.
As for transferring photos from phone to PC, I use a couple of methods, including connecting through a USB cable, Bluetooth, or cloud services like Google Photos or OneDrive. You could also try using email to send photos to yourself if none of the apps are cooperating.
It's wonderful that your Grandson1 is learning Japanese! What a great skill to have. It sounds like you're keeping busy, but hopefully you'll find some time to relax and enjoy your week off.
I just shared a new post; let me know what you think. Have a lovely weekend ahead.
My google drive is full!
