random thoughts – Day 1,872 – (Friday) – energy drain and missing stuff

Yesterday, despite my not using it all day except for stupid work-related multi-factor authentications, my cell phone drained itself empty. Not long after work ended, it was suddenly at 1% and then dead. It charged quickly once I was home at the charger. I decided it needed to be monitored.

This morning, it drained quickly again. And recharged quickly. And was dead again in the afternoon. And recharged. Now, a few hours later, it’s back down to 26% without even being used for games or watching videos or anything. It’s shockingly similar to my own energy level lately.

This can mean only one thing. The phone must be about five seconds away from being fully paid off, it’s time for it to blow up, and by next weekend, I’ll be forced to shop for a new phone. This was how it went down with my previous phone, and maybe the one before that. Hooray.

The day was shrouded in the mystery of the phone as well as the earlier mystery of “where the h*ll is the sunglass clip to my brown tortoise browline glasses? I had it on Tuesday. The car, work bag, dance bag, pockets of the fleece jacket I wore and the denim jacket I didn’t wear, and two purses I didn’t use this week. Multiple times. No sunglass clip. First the dance belt, now the sunglass clip. Mysteries sure do make things interesting.
