And I had sworn to myself I was going straight home after work. It was a tough day and exacerbated by the fact I couldn't wash my hands all day with the cut finger and the bandage. I couldn't wait to log out of the app on my cell phone and run out of there.
What I needed, I thought, as I got on the "early" bus (running late enough I caught it), was some music. So I pulled out my cell phone. And it was dead. I tried everything as I rode down the road. Dead. I did manage to get a text off to Dad that my phone was acting up.
I call Dad at set times every night so I didn't want him worried. Especially after I have been talking about homeless issues and bad dogs. So Dad was covered.
But oh crap that meant I had to go to the cell phone store the day before Thanksgiving at 5 PM. It was as crazy as I expected. It took me an hour but I got a new phone.
The clerk was very honest. He said he had a cheaper phone but it wasn't very good. So I went with the Motorola G Play. So far I am very impressed it was a VERY easy setup (work app was totally easy, logging in with my Google account, and Carb manager), and the audio quality - the voices I hear, are fantastic. I hope I sound as good! The phone was made a month ago as well and has 32 gigs which should be plenty for now. I got a pretty flowered case.
Then I had to get home. It was pitch black and the parking lot was a mess. But I did it. The neighbors were cooking delicious foods I could smell them as I walked home.
The cats were happy to see me even though it was almost 8. I called Dad and told him about my day, heard about his. Then I went to bed.
I slept in as late as I could which turned out to be around 8 AM. It was a wonderful pile of me, cats, blankets.
If I ever remarry I am going to need a bigger bed because the cats occupy a lot of space and of course they will be sleeping with us. Assuming I remarry which I find unlikely, I am disabled, I have baggage, I am also a terrible housekeeper which is very important to most men.
Anyway that's it for now.
Edit to add, when I did get home I wished I had a man to help me take the load off, to meet, me, take my coat, how was your day? I sat on the couch and Biscuit came running over, purring, got in my lap and began kneading me. Even better!

This would have been the time to switch your cell phone plan to something a lot cheaper. You could be paying $35 a month but instead you are choosing to pay a ridiculous amount of money. Straight Talk is cheaper and they have affordable cell phones. When these companies give you a phone it is not free, you are paying for that phone in your cell phone contract. Why don't you want to save money?
I am paying $35 a month? I also have insurance on it which is $8 and I always round up my bills...
On September 30th you said your cell phone bill was $50 a month. Cell phone insurance is a scam unless you are using a smart phone that costs $1000. You can get a perfectly good cell phone for under 50.00 and not need the insurance
[speaking slowly] I said I ROUND up the bill - so $43 actual bill = $50 line item in my budget.
You can buy a phone cheap but no guarantee it's going to last. I would rather go with the next best. Not the top of the line but an actual brand I recognize and have owned before, which is what I did. No regrets on that even though it was $101 with the case. Hopefully this one will also last me a couple of years. I am hard on my phones and they only seem to be good for 2-3 years.
You are paying almost $100 a year for a phone that is worth $100. So what's the point in paying for the insurance? Plus this insurance doesn't even replace the phone if something happens to it so it is a waste of $8.00 a month to even bother with the insurance. If you want to keep getting scammed with the insurance go ahead - but it's wasteful.
