If I'm home in leggings and a T-shirt, I don't have a pocket for my phone, nor do I want to take a chance of dropping said phone in a bucket of soapy water. It's a heck of a lot more expensive than my little mp3 player. Which means a lot of dead time that I used to fill with listening to library books that Libby has made inaccessible.
