Batteries

 Went to leave. 

All dress, helmet on, jacket on. about to roll out and I went to start the watch, or at least begin the process of trying to find a GPS signal.

"LOW BATTERY"

well fuck

oh, I never saved this morning's ride. Well shit lets do that.

1% battery.

Take jacket, helmet and glasses back off.

Plug in watch.

Now what.  It was already later than I had planned to leave. But what is another few minutes anyway.

Haven't been the most productive today. It'll change soon enough. I did tick some major boxes so there is that.

Trying something new and it isn't working great. So ya know with the phones and stuff, they are great at playing games? Stupid games, time wasting ones. Yeah. those. You're probably not the type to play smash the sugar, I did a few phones ago, and a tablet a while back. But one thing I did was when I got a new phone I stopped playing that one, even though I was stratospherically high in the ranking at that time. Why play them? I don't know. Addicting. Anyway, so new phone, left game on old phone, was playing on old phone. Great. Carry two phones play games on one, no games on new one. Good plan.

Then I dunno if I missed a low battery notification or it just bricked itself but the old phone screen went black and has been dead/unresponsive since. Plug in? Nope. Hold buttons to do hard reboot? Nope. Dead Jim. DED

Now what? well i logged into the one game, but it was different, notifications and interactions all completely different and ... I just closed it and haven't opened it since. But what to replace it with? I have an old solitare game, playing that. 

Not sure. Really need to NOT do anything and actively reclaim the time. But I think that maybe is a process, and the one thing I can do is NOT get hooked on anything. Play random doodle things, solitare. I dunno. Work on the photos. Take pictures. Really anything I suppose.

It isn't easy. Habits aren't easy. But I guess I've quit other stuff. But I had health incentives, this one kind of calms my brain but I guess I need to find something else that does that too.

Maybe I need to open up the weblog thing and write anytime I think I want to play a game. Get back into that habit. Blue sky place has been good. Too good maybe. With the new changes at the face place conglomerate I kind of just want to nuke all of those accounts...  but that's not quite on the cards just yet. I did delete my threads account, joining that was a mistake. I don't really use FB but you can see over here on the side - i do use IG and well... shit I like it as a place to share with people who are only there.

Ah well. Watch is up to 61%. Quick bathroom stop and then heading home, only a few minutes later. Glad this thing charges so quickly. Wish it held a charge longer but it does the job it needs to do.

Now here's to hoping there's enough juice in the headlight battery, i DIDN'T charge that today.
