My watch died the other day. It probably just needs a new battery but I’m really bad about buying batteries. They just always slip my mind. I was even at the store yesterday morning and did not get a battery for it. But it’s bothering me to not have a watch on. I keep looking for it. I dislike looking for it and instead seeing the splotchy ring of white where it used to be. Also, I’ve apparently become completely dependent on it to know what the date is. Since for the most part I rely on photographic memory of the image of my appointment calendar and the date on my watch so that I can figure where I’m at on said calendar then without my watch I have no idea where I’m at on the calendar and therefore have no idea what it is I’m required to do with my day, or what kind of day tomorrow is supposed to be. Of course I could always go back and look at the calendar again to figure out where I should be, but for some reason that seems like a ridiculous effort to me. And to have to do that every day?! Ha! So you see, what I’m basically saying here is that I have been suffering internally for the last 4 days while there are a vast number of things that I could easily do to remedy my situation–yet have not. So. I am determined today that I will set forth and get either 1.) a new watch battery or 2.) a new watch. And hope that in the meantime that I will remember that I have an appointment this afternoon with the endodontist and Jacob has soccer practice.

Becca, you have to let us know when you get your watch up and running. I know how painful that can be. I used to rely on my watch for everything. Now I just sit and watch the digital clock in the cabinet change numbers while I listen to a robotic voice say “Your call is important to us, thank you for holding, a customer service representative will be with you shortly” and then some vague translation of The Girl From Ipanema comes back on…
Well Jess, I went looking for a new watch and was sadly dissappointed with my options so I made a special trip to the store just to get a battery. At which time, the sales lady took one look at my watch and said “mmm see, now that’s a problem… You have a Fossil watch and we are not even allowed to open them to see what kind of battery you would need.” Seriously. So I made her hand me their little screwdriver tool and I pried the back off, took out the old battery, put in the new and popped the back back on. No problems. I still don’t have Indiglo
