5. I know I'm lucky I can afford a smart phone. Plans are so damn pricey!

I used to think I didn't need one, because I was retired and home a lot, where I could go online whenever I wanted, and my non-smart cell phone was all I needed when I went anywhere. But so many of my friends had smart phones and texted each other, shared pics, etc., and I finally broke down and got one. Now even though I still don't really need one, I really love having a phone with a mini-computer I can take anywhere.


I am so sorry about your husband. I hope you're able to stay in your house! I have some friends and family in assisted living places that are really nice, but the nice ones are so expensive.
