I almost shed a tear on finding out my phone wasn't even charging after two days of being without electricity. I've been having phone issues lately but this was the height. I'm almost phone-less now as its only charges at snail speed when it's off. After typing this post I would have to turn it off to get a little charge, I can't tell how long this electricity supply would last. In its absence, we use a generator set to power this house but that's usually just for two hours a day and at this rate that's only a 30% charge.
My heart further broke when I tried starting my laptop and it didn't come on, I opened the battery compartment and it smelt burnt. So now I have a bunch of useless devices, not enough savings to get a new phone immediately, can't even come on hive anymore where I get to make some HBD for a new phone. Worse, I couldn't talk to the whole day. I rolled over in bed, tried reading a book, forced a nap and not think about how I was having a terrible, horrible day.
