Life without a Cellular Phone

My 2nd iPhone bricked on Thursday night when trying to update my iPhone with the new software patch. (bricked = was rendered useless after the update)

I did not have a phone all day Friday, it was interesting. I used this thing called ‘house phone” which you apparently can’t take in the car with you… or text on. Really strange.

I received a new iPhone from apple on Saturday at 2:30 and had a working cell phone until 6:30 when this iPhone was also bricked by the software update. I was scared to leave the house….

I spent the entire day today (Sunday) without a cell phone and it has been interesting. Those of you who know me know that I would rather wake up without a nose than without a cell phone. But, I am slowly getting used to it. Today I went driving and used this thing called “map” to navigate, and listened to these round things called compact disks in the stereo. When I left my house I left something called a note explaining that I had gone out and when I planned to return… all really weird stuff.

I have an appointment with apple at 8:45am tomorrow morning and am excited by the possibility of potentially being reconnected with society.
