“Got ring?”

Reminder on my phone,

Recent reality to admit, my data addiction, laid bare when it happened, twice, no ring,

Smart ring logs the data, sleep, steps, stairs, quietly counting, quantifying the day, quantifying the night, unless you forget to wear it,

Honestly, I love the simple numbers, love the tally, have grown quite reliant on the digits to frame my baseline, those numbers, a data foundation that is firm and true,

Unless you don’t have the data, unless you forget your ring on the charger, left at home,

Two reminders, “Got ring?”, didn’t help, one in the morning, one at night, didn’t help, missed them,

Then the flush of emotion, “I won’t have the data!” Ah well, try again the next day,

Gotta remember, that silly (and quietly helpful) thing,

Got ring?
