NaBloPoMo Day 12

I dont know why I let electronics ruin my life when they don't work right, but I do. Heck, I do social media as a job and for my personal life and I can't afford to have things go down and not work right. It is so very upsetting to me when I can't document the things I do and keep track of the places I go. Sorry if you don't understand. #sorrynotsorry

I have tried twice to buy Galaxy S6 phones on eBay. Never had a problem buying a used phone before. They had no problems besides some minor scuffing and to me, a case solves that problem. However, with the first phone (which was such a good deal at $199!), the camera did not work right. It was fuzzy, not sharp, and had a water ripple effect on the screen from time to time and I could not take a picture until that went away.

I sent that phone back and tried again. Spent a little more, asked the seller if the camera was good, he said yes. I get the phone and the camera is blurry again. Plus the home button did not work no matter what I tried. So frustrating to set up my apps again only to find that out. I kept the phone until the last possible day (plus I was in UT and it was tricky to get the return label printed) and so now that phone is back in NY.

Third time is the charm? I sure hope so! There are NO good deals on eBay. Every phone has a bad IMEI or is broken or 'parts only.' Sigh. I have bid on a phone that is ending at 8am Tuesday morning. Fingers crossed I don't get outbid at the last minute.

I'm sorry, I can't keep doing this. If this phone does not work out I am going to either skip to the S7 and spend $100 extra to do so or find another phone. I like Blu but am wary about not being able to find cases I like. I like my iPod touch but just can't commit to the iPhone. There are things I really hate about Apple and it's def a love-hate relationship. Sigh again.

I miss playing Pokemon. I miss Snapchat working correctly. I miss front-facing video. TMobile sent me another sim card since the S4 and S6 take different sizes. I have a problem where my S4 no longer gets 4G. Not sure why and I thought a new sim card would fix that but sadly, it hasn't. Nobody will ever know I ate at Ephen Tacos for dinner tonight. I did take a pic I can post but I wasn't able to check in on Swarm.

#FirstWorldProblems I know but as someone who is on social media lots - this just cannot be an issue for me! Fingers crossed I can just win that phone tomorrow and move on with life because this is ridiculous.

My One Little Word for 2021

Image
 Every year that I've picked "one little word" to work on, it hasn't been little. It grows, gets complex and has lots of facets to it. But that's okay. I have 365 days to work on it, right? So with that being said, my word for 2021 is, I did not take choosing my word for the year lightly. I never do. I give it lots of thought and consideration. At first, the word that came to mind was "can". Like, "I can." But..."can" seems like an odd word just on its own. I hear it and think of canned veggies or fruit. So what can I do? What did I need to be able to do in this new year? I need to do some hard things. Mainly body related stuff and there is really only 1 hard thing that tops the list. So lets get into the categories of areas I can "Grow." Physically Spiritually Mentally Marriage First up - physically . I take this to mean body stuff - which I am never good with. I avoid body related things at all costs because it freaks me
