Painful Separation and Anxiety

My phone died! My precious kakked it! Or rather the touch pad did... meaning the only way I can make calls in on my speed dials, the only way I can text is NOT AT ALL, and the only was I can listen to the music on my phone is by REMEMBERING IT FONDLY! Sigh. There's no water damage, it's only been dropped twice in a year, and it's hardly scratched. Fairly pristine. Sigh. I don't know what went wrong but thank goodness I got the extended warranty. I get a replacement phone for free. But until it comes in the mail tomorrow, I'm sad.
Double sigh.

I called immediately when my phone stopped working which FYI people is what you should do. Working for a phone company that sells cell phones I've learned a thing or two, and the sooner you report a problem, the less likely it is for a company to suspect fraud. I'm just sad. I may lose all my fun pictures and some of the sweet messages I got from some sweet people. Not that I won't get more, but it's not the same.

You never realize how dependent you are on a cell phone until you actually lose it or it breaks and you don't have anything to back it up. I DO have my old flip phone, and I suppose IF the new phone doesn't work I still have a back up. I've just never had an issue with any of my cell phones, and it's weird to try to deal with.

I think it's the not being able to check my text messages that bugs me the most. The music on my phone is on a memory card, so it'll be there. And regardless I am smart and back stuff up on my computer anyway. I guess I can back up my contacts list, too, but either way I have things written down in my address book. So the vitally important things are safe. Just still kinda sad about my pics going bye bye. I had some fun ones. Will just have to take more I suppose.

Perhaps I need a cell phone intervention... we've grown too close.

It'll be nice when life gets back to normal, and I can communicate in the way I've grown accustomed to for so long. It came on slowly, this dependency, but I can't go back again.
