My new phone came in today! All my contacts are back and I got all the messages I’ve missed. I’m back baby!
One Year Ago Today
I’ll share a funny line that happened on this day:
One good joke from the service today was when someone said that it was Dick Bly’s birthday. The pastor asked if he was 62, and Dick said, “61. I’ve done a lot of walking and bike riding so I lost one.” I thought that was a really clever line, because you can’t take a year off of your life. It’s like on Seinfeld when Jerry said he was trying to lose some height as opposed to weight. But Dick really got a good setup in order to deliver that line.
My Day
My mom woke me up at 10am after five hours of sleeping, and she said she needed me to give her a ride to work. I planned to sleep another three hours at least but since my phone was coming today I figured it’d be good to get up and get that straight as early as possible. And since I couldn’t shower anyway it didn’t really throw me off.
On my way back home I stopped at Wal Mart to finally get a new wallet. I thought they’d be in the jewelry department, so I looked at the watches briefly because I still haven’t got a new one yet. I was thinking of getting a cheap one while I carefully look for a new one, but I decided against it. I found the wallets in the clothes department, and they’re nice and inexpensive. I know it’ll get pretty worn eventually, but for 12 bucks it’ll do. I got a trifold with a center flip, and it has a divider in the billfold. I’ve always wanted that actually because I already have divided my ones from the rest, and sometimes $100 from the rest, so I can do at least one of those easier now. I was excited about finally getting one with a spare key holder, but I guess this last one that I picked out doesn’t have one like I thought.
When I got back home I saw my new phone waiting for me on the porch, so I excitedly opened the box to check it out. I planned to go right to the Verizon store to activate it, but I saw that I didn’t need to. I just plugged it into my computer and iTunes fully restored it. Every app is there and in the locations I had them in, and I have every message, contact, and note that was on my last phone. So it’s all set up and back to normal.
I stayed in and eventually got ready for work, although I didn’t think I’d actually have to work. I almost forgot to shave like I did a few days ago, but thankfully I remembered in time. I didn’t mind getting dressed and going out even if I’d get called off because I still wanted to get a new case for my phone. I really wanted that case today so I wouldn’t drop it and scratch it or anything before I get a chance to protect it. Then at the store when I was reaching for the case I got a phone call, and I fumbled it and dropped it. Thankfully it didn’t break or scratch, but it was ironic because it dropped at the last possible time. The call was from my boss telling me we didn’t have to come in because the room was dead, so it worked out well. So I went to Denny’s with Brian and Cheetara and then I went back home.
I finished watching my Hulu shows, and I was planning to watch the show Workaholics next on Netflix. Brian recommended it to me, so I planned to watch that one season before going to Malcolm in the Middle. But Netflix isn’t working for me because I canceled my debit card, so until I get the new one I guess I’m stuck with the shows I already have. So I had to jump right to Seinfeld when I planned to finished these other ones first. But one minute into starting the series I’m already happy I’m watching it again. Seinfeld never gets boring.
I watched The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers tonight to get myself psyched up again for reading the books. It’s been over a month since I’ve last read, so I got myself familiar with the story again and hopefully I’ll continue reading it this week since I don’t work until Sunday. Now I’m going to bed at 4am and I’ll clean the church tomorrow and enjoy having my phone back. Oh, I wore my new The Office shirt today which was fun. So thanks for reading, and “Thank you urinals for never taking any crap.”
