Well…went into verizon this morning fully expecting to leave them and move to a new carrier but I was surprised when the tech I worked with was able to get me a new phone and unlimited data for only 7 bucks more than the phone and 8gigs of data at consumer…and he is setting me up to be able to get a flagship phone down the road if I want one since the free phone is worth 500 bucks against any new phone….and it was covered by the insurance I didn’t even remember I had…the new phone should be here tomorrow and the tech told me to come in when I get it and he will take care of me…I am a little surprised at the service but I can live with 20 bucks less than I was paying and getting  unlimited data…so very cool…and now only the doctor appointment Thurs morning is left to accomplish this week…lots of progress….

Update: damn, things are happening very fast…just got a call from my dentist and they have an opening to finish my teeth scaling tomorrow morning and that will lead to them being able to start the repairs sooner…so, even more progress and I may be able to take the week off and go to the beach next week…wow…and take pictures with my phone again…and the older re-conditioned phone I’m getting is the top of the line samsung from 2020…and I can live with that…just saw a review of it on youtube and the guy doing it said he bought his in 2020 and will keep it for a few more years it was so good…so, going from depressed to progress in two days….I guess I just need to get off my butt at times, huh? Oh, and I get to keep my old phone that will still work on wifi here…not sure what I’ll use it for but I’ll still have my photos…and that is cool…
