my phone's no good very bad day

it all started about 2 weeks ago, when i went to the doctor. and the doctor said, "your thyroid is messed up (again) and you have high ldls. to which i said, "pffft."

but i went out and filled the new prescription, bought a big box of cheerios, and came home and started exercising. because let's face it, winter turned me into a sloth. and every day since then, i've been taking my meds, eating my cheerios, and exercising.

and as part of my exercise program, i broke out my old wii and started jogging in place, chasing little cats around. and today after i got home from my morning class, i came home and changed into my sweats and started showing the little cat who was boss. because it was too icy and snowy to exercise outside, and i didn't even want to go across the street to the fitness room. why trudge through the snow, when you can chase cats at home?

anyway, while i was kicking that cat's butt today, i was listening to npr on my phone. i learned about the use of blue lights helping alzheimer's, why americans living in other countries are giving up their u.s. citizenship, and about schizophrenia possibly being caused by a virus. among other things. and when one of the episodes was over, i put the phone down on a dresser, and apparently the vibrations caused by my cat chasing caused the phone to fall off the dresser and on to the floor.

and when i went to pick it up, the screen was black with blue stripes. a reset didn't help it. nothing helped it. so i backed it up (since i hadn't backed it up for awhile) to my computer. which was no small feat because i could not see the numbers on the screen to punch in the access code for all the blackness and the blue stripes. but i played like i was blind and succeeded so that i could sync. i wanted to make sure i had everything backed up because my last trip to the apple store ended up with some stupid apple babyface completely dumping every bit of music and every picture i'd ever taken. i did not want a repeat of that disaster.

so it was a bad day for my phone.

BUT as much as the day sucked for my phone- here's the great thing for me- in two short days, i am due for an upgrade!!!!!!
