for the first time since this adventure began

In late fall of 2008 I was diagnosed with high blood pressure. It's astounds me that it's nearly a decade. I thought I'd slay the beast in a couple of month. Clearly that didn't happen.

After I was diagnosed, I bought a pedometer. Then I bought more pedometers, and finally FitBits. I'm probably using those since 2013.

The last few weeks the battery on my FitBit has been wonky. At one time it took two weeks for the battery to die. Then it was a week, and then two days. Then one day. The end was near. But I refused to give up.

Saturday it didn't work at the AT hike. I charged it when I got home. Sunday I charged it again. Monday it wouldn't charge.

RIP FitBit.

Now the real quandry. Do I need to buy another. Or has using these devices for nearly a decade taught me everything I need to know. Do I need the security blanket?
