I Broke Down and Bought a Cell Phone!

Here is my adorable flip phone from Samsung.

The last time I owned a cell phone was way back in 2005. Happily for my bank account, I lost it somewhere when eating out one evening. I swore I'd never waste my money like that again. Yes, I even texted with it.
Times have drastically changed since then, and now I find myself leery of driving all over Orlando without a way to get help, should I be plagued with car trouble. Senior moments have alerted me to the benefit of having a way to reach out for help when I'm alone on the road.
Tonight I purchased the cutest, cheapest, tiniest little cell phone, along with a "top up" card to add minutes. I'm not interested in anything with a monthly plan, a phone that will surf the internet while I'm driving, or a way to take photos of my food when I'm in a restaurant. I just want something that will get the police, ambulance, or road-side assistance to me as quickly as possible.

On an entirely different topic, I have been considering renting out my home this summer, and putting my belongings in storage while I go stay with a friend in another state until school begins in mid-August. I'll rent a small apartment when I return...after that I will make some decisions regarding how and where I want to settle down again.
Here I go! Just me and my cell phone and my memories!
When I make the 10-hour drive to her home, I'll have my adorable little emergency phone with me to give me the peace of mind while I'm on the road for so long.
Why would I do this? Because I am determined to write a short book before I forget how to type...don't laugh. Really. Don't laugh.
I'm going to attack this life-long dream in the lovely surroundings of my friend's home, sit with her on her front porch swing, and laugh about the ridiculously outrageous times we used to share long ago.
That's my newest plan and I owe it all to my brand new cell phone. Believe it or not.
Tomorrow is the last day for students in our school system in Orlando, and I wish everyone a very happy and safe summer vacation! School's out for me for the very last time.
Happy Summer Everyone!
