Newly charged batteries

No, the title of this post is not a metaphor for rest or exercise or any sort of human rejuvintation. This post is literally about newly charged battiries. Like cellphone batteries or digicam batteries.

I love the sense you get from having newly charged batteries. The sense of "I can take a gajillion pictures without worrying about running out of juice." "I can text all day!" It's having this sense of security.

And in the same way you feel powerful with newly charged batteries you feel so insecure about being "low-batt". You can't make calls and you're worried if each text is going to be your last. You kick yourself for not charging when you could ("Ok pa 'to, this will get me through the day.."). And when your phone finally dies, you worry about all those inane messages you're not receiving.
