Day 15 - Garmin Gadget

Back in April, I had to send my beautiful watch off to have a new crystal, cleaning and maintenance done on it and so I've been "timeless" shall we say and it is driving me crazy.  While at my daughter Jodi's house, I quizzed her about her activity tracker that is also a watch, and does many other fun things.  I decided that I should get one so that I would not only be able to see what time it is but also have the incentive of moving more every day.  So today I purchased a Garmin Vivosmart HR+ as a time piece while mine is gone and also as a tracker of activity and an accountability tool as I am now connected with Jodi and we can keep each other honest!  The only bad part about starting this today is that I had to travel to Haskell so was in the car for four hours after buying it and couldn't get in all the steps I might have wished for on my first day.  But not only does it keep time, but it also buzzes me when I get an email or text on my phone and many things I haven't yet figured out at this point.  My husband has an Apple watch and so now I'm feeling a bit more competitive because I have something electronic on my wrist as well--at least until I get my Rolex back!  Another part of this first is that I took a picture of my wrist while driving--a certain no-no but there wasn't much traffic to deal with between Albany and Lueders!
