Well, my phone showed up at 3:30 PM. I don't know why I'm so nervous about setting it up, billions of people have smartphones, and mine's not even a Mensa phone. I guess I fell pretentious, and my inner Puritans are sniffing and saying "You have a perfectly good phone, you're getting above yourself, girl."
Cacophony. That's pretty. What's it mean?

Which phone did you end up getting, Connie?

A Galaxy Sky. It had good reviews on the Tracfone site.
I need to get a case for it now.

I have to strongly recommend a case, because my arrogance about the durability of my perfectly serviceable Moto G is what led to me dropping it on the tiled kitchen floor and shattering the screen.
You damn bet the iPhone has a case now. (I didn't pay a ton for it, because it's an SE, but I love it and I'm tired of buying phones.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am dying to activate my new phone, but I timed it all wrong since my account is pre-paid, and if I do it too soon, I'm just double paying.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Connie, please tell your Inner Puritans to stuff it from me. A smartphone is a useful and functional item; if it so happens that you can have a little fun with it, you deserve that too.

I got only 500 mb of data, so I'll be curious how I go through that. I'm trying not to go nuts with apps.

Also, tell your puritans to go to Five Below to get $5 screen protectors and cases, it'll make them happy. No, you aren't likely to get an otterbix or speck there, but something cheap and basically decent. Screen protectors especially.
I don't use it tons, but it's nice to have for jury duty or when I show up to early. And the camera is better.

I'm going to the Grand Canyon this summer, so I'll have to make sure I have a way to attach the case to my person. That camera is terrific.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm sorry, Zen. I hope the weather cooperates, a walk sounds like a good idea. You have reminded me to turn on my Happy Light, so thanks for that.
You're welcome, -t! The weather cooperated but my brain did not. I slept 12 hours, didn't get up until 2, and took another 2 hour nap at 6. I feel like crap. It finally occurred to me that I've been having a period for almost 2 weeks (fucking perimenopause) and at the same time I ran out of my iron supplements a week ago... so maybe it isn't too weird that I'm tired and shaky and can't focus. I got more iron supplements today.
Laura, that's exciting!
Glad you like your new phone, Connie. I've been really happy with the Galaxy phones.
