I think there was a part 1 to this when I bought my car back in March. Anyway, after nearly 5 years of rockin’ a 16 GB iPhone 5s, I finally broke down and got the iPhone 8. The 5s was always out of storage and has slowly been deleting apps and things I love/use. The final straw came during last week’s 12 mile run when iTunes wouldn’t let me turn the ‘repeat’ function off. I had to manually change songs. Not ideal when you run on busy roads and carry your phone in your sports bra (what? It’s the most convenient place!)
Anyway, the whole thing feels wrong, because never in my life have I had the newest model of a phone. I always get the older model because it’s cheaper and I simply don’t find it necessary to replace shit before it breaks. I’m trying to retire semi-early – I’d rather drive a 12 year old car and rock a 5 year old phone than go into more debt, because student loans suck (of course, I have a new car and new phone now, but I plan on using both until they die, so I’m cool with my decision to be a reckless consumer this year.)
You guys! This new phone is awesome!! Like, I can actually take pictures and have all the apps I want! It’s amazing! Like, holy crap! I’ve totally been missing out!! I can share pictures of my cats to my hearts content (I don’t do selfies…unless I’m really drunk…which is almost never these days because having more than 2 drinks in your 30s is just asking for it.)
It’s awesome to blog from my phone and I’m looking forward to boring all 3 readers with more posts. I’ve got a lot of big changes happening in my life right now. One of them is my job…I got the official notification today that I will be working from home half time, which, after nearly 6 years of commuting 500 miles per week, is a dream come true. I can’t wait to see how much time and money it saves me. More importantly, I CAN WEAR YOGA PANTS 75% OF MY WEEK!!! I’M LIVING THE ULTIMATE DREAM!!
Like I’d use my fancy phone camera to post something besides a cat picture. For whatever reason, these little mofos LOVE to hang out in my shower.
