My phone was broke yesterday accidentally while I am cleaning the house. I didnt noticed that it was placed near the edge of the table and accidentally fell in the floor and bang! The LCD was broke and it was shut down totally.
I was really sad of what happened as I need my phone everyday. Who else not right? Mobile phone is a necessity these days especially for me who do online hustle. It's also saddens me because I don't have any money for the payment if I will going to visit a repair shop.
A boredom moments came as my phone is not working. I went to my son and asked him if he want to learn something like tracing and writing. I went to our room and get his things and I started teaching him without any distraction as my phone is not working.
I manage to clean our house for a short period of time without a pause because I will check my mobile phone. I even do the things that I didn't do before as I am finding something to do to ease my boredom. I get my son clothes and grab some needles sew the broken part of it. I opened our drawer and declutter things that is not useful anymore.
It's 2:00 PM when my son told me that he is sleepy. We go to the bedroom and I let him sleep and because I have no phone I also sleep beside him. A routine that it's not so used to me before. I woke up at 4:00 PM and I feel so great. I feel so recharged and light feel.
When my husband arrived I asked him if we can go to the river near us without a mobile phone and just us. We really enjoyed staying at the river side with my family. I talked to my husband about the phone that was broke and he told me to use his phone until my phone will be fix.
No gadgets means more time for the family but we can't deny the fact that we also need it on our daily lives especially for me who needs to grind to help my husband financially.
