I did eventually get to sleep last night. I ended up taking a second Halcion. I probably got about four hours of sleep. I'm going to have to find a way to nap today, or I'll end up too tired to manage anything myself by the time I need to eat dinner.

I'm not sure why my body wasn't willing to sleep. Scott and I took a moderately long walk, a bit more than an hour, around north campus yesterday. It would have been longer, but it started to pour, and we had to run for the car. I need to hack ten more new to me Ingress portals in order to get the silver badge for that. I'm entirely sure that I can find those on north campus. I just need to drag myself out there for it.

Maybe later today if I manage a nap.

Scott and Cordelia are both having trouble getting their phones to charge. Scott has to wiggle the connection until the charging starts and then not jostle it at all or it will stop. Cordelia's just having problems with the cord in the living room. Scott really needs to replace his phone, but we can't afford it.

The cords are designed to be weaker than the phone, so sometimes all you need to do is replace the charging cord and then the phone will charge again.

Anyway, replacing the cord is a lot cheaper. :)

For Cordelia's phone, I'm pretty sure that the problem is the cord in the living room.

For Scott's phone, though, he has the exact same problem with every cord he tries and has had the problem for months. He's tried every fix he can find online for it with no benefit at all.

Yeah, that does sound like it's the phone. :(

someone on my flist had the problem with the charger cord. He took it to Best Buy Geek Squad and they found a piece of lint in the charging port - pulled that out and it's been fine ever since. You might want to at least see if there's a free/cheap solution like so?

Scott has cleaned the port repeatedly in every different way that he's found suggested on the troubleshooting posts. Nothing's helped.
