marcicat | fitbit update

It turns out that the reason I was able to disassemble my fitbit while sleeping last week was not, in fact, evidence of a heretofore unknown skill. No, in fact, the band is sort of broken. (Sort of, in the sense that it IS meant to be easy to take apart, just not quite THAT easy.)

And I was concerned that it might accidentally disassemble itself in a way that would lead it to getting lost, which would be bad. So yesterday I stuck it in my pocket, which was okay, I guess, except I really missed padding my step count by drumming on the steering wheel. Also there is a thing where I really like being able to see things to prove they are still there, because I apparently have an iffy relationship with object permanence. (It’s not that I don’t believe the thing still exists; I’d just prefer to keep an eye on it.)

So today I have used the fix-all solution of duct tape to make it harder for the band to detach itself from the tracker, and the fitbit is back on my wrist. We’ll see how this adventure develops!
