My phone broke

So yeah, my phone isn't working as of about as of about 43 hours ago, by now. One minute everything was fine, I used it to take a couple of pictures. But the next time I took it out of my pocket 10 minutes later, the screen was dead. Pressing the buttons does nothing. I know it's still powered on because if I press and hold the power button for a couple of seconds the phone vibrates, but other than that it's a brick. The alarm clock still works, but to turn the alarm off I have to hold down the power button for 15 seconds until the phone reboots. I have a device protection plan for it, so I opened a case with Google about it and took it to an authorized repair shop. After a couple of hours they said the motherboard was bad, and that I might as well get another phone because it would cost more to fix it than a new phone would cost. Today I heard back from Google, they are going to replace it with a Pixel 7 that should be shipped to me and arrive sometime between the 7th and 10th. So until then I'm stuck without a phone. It's like I had my right arm cut off. It's amazing how dependent we become on the technology we use regularly, such that when something fails it becomes a crisis. Now if I want to pay any of my bills I have to physically go to the bank because I can't login even with a laptop due to the 2 factor authentication - I can't get any text messages or use the authenticator app. Sigh. In other news, I finally got started with the final coats of paint on my toolbox project. I had to bring everything inside yesterday because of rain, but if the weather cooperates I think I'll be finishing up this project soon. I just need to put a couple more coats of paint on the drawers, then put everything back together and I'll finally have a decent toolbox rig. For the record, don't do what I did and try to restore anything, buy new instead. This project was too long, too expensive and too much of a pain in the neck. Of course I didn't know that at the outset, so it's been a learning experience, but not one I'd care to repeat any time soon. You really, really should have your own garage for stuff like this. Doing it on the patio like I've been doing just carries a lot of problems along with it, such that all the fun gets taken out of it at the end.
