More Snow and New Gadget

Things are starting to get back to "normal". Here's a picture of my commute into the office. 


Still taking hours to get to and from work.  Which is where my new gadget comes in. Last weekend I bought an external battery pack in preparation for my trip. I've been thinking of getting one for awhile since I'm not great on keeping my phone charged. Plus it's great for long trips. Like on the flight if I want to watch movies on my iPad I'd run out of battery on a long flight. But with the battery charger you get to charge and extend the battery life. 

I found this slim version. It doesn't have tons of recharge - just one full charge but that's all I really need. 

So tonight when I get to my bus stop and see it would be 15 minutes until my bus arrives and the phone is showing this:

Only 10% left - not enough to get me home - especially if I'm listening to podcasts and writing emails and blog posts. 

And that's when I remembered I'd packed my new toy. I pull it out and hook it up for the first time. 

Already I'm up to 25% charge! This is great. And it's just a bit bigger than a lipgloss. Amazing technology we have. And only $15 at TJ Maxx. Curtesy of Aunt Sues Christmas gift (gift card).
