New Phone, Old Phone

I woke up 3 times last night, feeling extremely sick. When I finally crawled out of bed at 12pm I had this unforgiving headache which persisted throughout the rest of the day. Right now my head's just muddled, and I feel sick and tired at the same time. I thought my immune system had fortified this year- but apparently not. I have this suspicion that I got sick from my sister, since she's been coughing on my non-stop for the past 3 days- but oh well.

I've been sitting on our overly expensive and underused sofa all day. It is really comfortable. I wanted to do work but with my headache it was simply not possible. I guess if I really tried I could've written something, but I just didn't want to do anything more so than usual. Even reading became a chore today- I just didn't want to do anything. I thought it'd be better if I went outside for a bit, and the fresh air might make me feel better... it didn't really. The weather was nice and all, but nothing felt right.

The one productive thing I did all day though, was update my phone. Ever since I rooted my phone it's been slowly fucking itself over. I only updated YouTube last month to realize that the YouTube app wasn't a broken piece of shit, I just hadn't updated it for 2 years straight. I had to go back to factory resets on my phone- and man it was dreadful when it all occurred, because all of a sudden I realized how much I had actually customized my phone and how horrible the factory resets were. Luckily I was then able to update to the latest firmware and now the interface looks a lot better. Yes, I am telling you that I hadn't updated my firmware for 2 years. I don't know how I actually survived, but my guess is that it's because I mainly use my phone to listen to music, browse facebook and send texts/ make calls. I didn't actually do much with my phone, despite its multitude of functions.

Anyway, at this point I pretty much feel like I have a new phone, and the urge to replace my current phone has considerably diminished. I kinda don't want to replace my phone until I graduate- and even then I might keep it unless I manage to shatter the screen. I feel a little bad for how abusive I have been towards my phone. When I first got it I laid it down gently and held it carefully--- now I just casually toss it around without thinking too much. I've dropped it countless times- and if it wasn't for my phone cover I don't know how many scratches it would have. It's a shame how I've become so accustomed to the weight, size and general feel of my phone- otherwise I could convince myself that I somehow got a new phone. I did however have the joy of reinstalling all my apps and customizing all my settings until it suited me. It seems like a chore but I think secretly I enjoy doing stuff like that, because it's like marking territory.

Okay, gonna go sleep some more even though I haven't been awake for that long. Sucks when you're sick.
