[BlindTlk] Have a laugh!

Sat Sep 12 18:57:23 UTC 2020

There were a couple of times I was in a hurry to go to work and I forgot my purse which had all my chargers I needed, and I had to either borrow a charge cord from someone for about 30 minutes or survive on low-power mode for 12 hours and you would think I learned my lesson the first time, but nope. Also, left work one time without my jacket on a cold day.
