Last night, the Garmin scale flashed a battery symbol in its display, a sure sign that the batteries were needing to be replaced soon. Very soon, as it turns out, as the scale promptly died right after. I did not have the four required AAA batteries needed to revive it. But popping out the old batteries and popping them back in revived the scale one last time. I stepped on, and it insisted I had gained over five pounds overnight.
I did not gain five pounds overnight.
I will get new batteries today and convince my OCD that it’s OK to have a one-day gap in my weight this one week.
And yes, in the olden days this wouldn’t be an issue, because back then scales didn’t need batteries. Such is modern life.
