I’ve been looking for my smartphone for 5 months

t’s in my apartment… somewhere. Because if it isn’t I have to accept that the simplest other solution is that my friend stole it when we were jamming. I don’t think he’d do that, just doesn’t seem like him.

I don’t miss the phone. I’ve been using a Sunbeam F1 Horizon Wren. It meets every need I want my cellular device to meet. I’ll use my laptop or tablet for anything else.

I want to get into developing for the device I had though. I want to develop an open source driver for the chipset since Mediatek seems intent on keeping their blobs private. I just want a linux distro on my foldable, is that so much to ask? It’s a POWERFUL device, it’d make a great little machine for program sketches and whatnot. It would also give me an ARM platform to target other than my partner’s macbook.

I’d been manic for days (maybe like 2 weeks, it creeps up on me and I don’t recognize it til I’m doing the manic things that get me in trouble) and last night I had what might have been the best sleep of my life. I always used to be confused by my stepmother sleeping with earplugs, but last night I threw in my loops before bed and I slept like a log til I awoke to the need to pee. Then I slept for another 2 hours.

This may not seem like a big deal, but normally I rise with the sun, unable to sleep over the sound of my avian neighbors screaming at the top of their lungs to get laid. It doesn’t usually matter when I go to bed, could be 9, could be 4 am, I still end up awake by 6:40 most days, and at the absolute latest like 7:15 in the winter. Today I slept til almost 9 am and only arose because I had things to do.

I stopped looking for the phone for now. I’m gonna whip myself into a tizzy if I keep searching.

I have a speech and an exam today, wish me luck,
Nora.
