I hadn't realized how much I had become addicted to my IPod (B-day gift this past summer from PH) until I was getting ready to drive home from evening meeting at Saint Middle School (40 miles from home). The IPod had frozen up (no, not cold-type frozen, non-functioning type frozen).
Oh, no! I listen to Bible readings, podcasts from NPR, Spanish lessons, music of all types, and audiobooks on it, and since radio reception is sketchy the further I get from home, it makes my commute twice a week to and from Saint Middle School much more tolerable.
I no longer carry CDs in the car, so I had to listen to scratchy radio all the way home.
Yes, I know you REALLY pity me.
Seriously, though, this was a very pricey gift, and the thought that it had died after only three months' use seriously disturbed me.
I got home, where PH was patiently waiting for me to get dinner on the table (he would have done it, but I told him I would do it when I got home). Instead of starting on supper, I immediately got on the computer for guidance on how to fix the problem. Ten minutes later, I had found what I needed and resolved it.
Bless PH, he quietly sipped his gin and tonic while I got it done.
Just count me grateful for things that are simple to fix.

Mibi, I absolutely am of the same mind about my iPod. I listen to sermons, podcasts, etc while driving or working out, and I too am grateful that is so simple to fix on the rare occasion it freezes. Mine is over two years old, though, and is starting to act up lots more, so I think a new one is on the horizon. But, not just yet!
