The Guy from Catalina Goes Writing

This past weekend, I finally updated my Mac to the Catalina operating system.  It took about an hour for the download and reset.  Unfortunately, there were some hiccups to the entire process.  The major one was that my Mac wasn't accepting one of my passwords any more.  It was just the one word, but it was one of the major ones.  Admittedly, it was a password that I didn't use too often, but it was one I needed to complete the process.  I tried other, possible earlier versions of the password.  No luck.  I tried contacting Apple to get help.  For some reason, I couldn't update my password either.  After a day of back-and-forth, I had to take the ultimate solution and have the account recovered.  I didn't want to, but there was no other way I could see.  At first, I thought that it would take a day or so.  That was what the notifications suggested.  I later got an email that said it would take two weeks!  I may be unfamiliar with some aspects of computers, but even this seems a little harsh. Until then, I will be prevented from doing many things I hoped to do with the upgrade.  Then there are the secondary problems that might be linked to this.  Start times are taking longer.  Wifi is experiencing delays, even with my home router which is relatively nearby.  A few other minor qualms seem to be happening as well, but they might not have anything to do with the upgrade.  So, I wait for another week, for a call at work one morning that will tell me that my account has been returned to working order.  I didn't have this much trouble with the last upgrade.  Sorry for the short post this week, but as I implied, I have had a few problems lately.
