WHOOOOOO more fast times like on Wednesday. But today I could really feel the fatigue. My quads weren't up to the effort, and I felt like a slug. Yet my times say otherwise. Rode with my old phone, more on that story below, and got to listen to my old music from 2017. Was that a depressing year or something?

Perfect morning ride, clear warm and sunny. Even the dog walkers were mindful today, especially those two male twats who walk the 4 dogs on those long leashes.

So late at work yesterday my phone took a dive and quit working. Now the screen was all random-shit, it said it was over-heated and needed to cool. Ugh. Rode home without music, not as bad as expected, and laid out a plan to visit the ATT store on Grand. They said I had a $125 early termination fee (da fuq?) then sent me to the Apple store. Apple said it's not their phone or their problem, so back home again with a malfunctioning fun. I pulled out my old 5 and charged it, moved the SIM card and have it working. Before I could get all this done though, the malfunctioning phone was calling people, taking pictures, opening and closing apps, typing on the calculator, like it was haunted. Argh.

Although at one point after leaving the Apple store LA sent the laugh I needed to destress. My phone was sending out "I'm having a stroke" messages and he replied with the facepalm emoji. LOL!

Once the old 5 powered up, I was able to guess my 6 digit passcode in only 2 tries. It's a variant of my current passcode, and shows me that my line of thinking 2 years ago hasn't changed. Nor have I reached the goal embedded in that number. My app layout is the same, but a few apps have changed. Wow, nothing changed since Feb 2018 when the newer phone went active? Am I that consistent? Or that lame?

So now the plan is to squeak by on the 5 until I can buy a new 5SE at Apple, then take that to the ATT store to get it online.

But I'm not in a rush! Last night I was unable to surf and work with the phone, and I kinda liked it....

The orthopedic Dr replied that "lack of pain means healing" so I still don't have an answer to whether the crutches will expedite healing. I guess that is an answer, if I'd just quit denying it. But I keep coming back to the question -- what is pain. Because I'm sitting here with pain, does that mean I shouldn't be sitting?

My butterfly yesterday didn't die sadly, she's still alive at the base of the milkweed. Wings still un-inflated. I couldn't bring myself to kill her. How do you humanely kill a butterfly?

But today another chrysalis is ready to eclose, and I hung it outside since I wouldn't be at home to watch and release. I might miss the entire thing, and it might be gone by the time I return. But that's a success! I'll take it.

Been working on this for years, if the caterpillar can change so can I.
