I kinda know what I did. A lot of cleaning, and I read at the park and talked about re-reading books with some people many years after your first time. I'm at the library now, and I have a book in the holds section to take out in a bit. I put it on hold Friday online (they were closed), was busy yesterday (and it wasn't "ready" anyway) and got notified this morning it was ready, but haven't checked it out yet. So I started re-reading The Great Gatsby this morning after going to the park, and I'm already on pg 113/184, so I'm probably gonna stay here and read for another half hour/hour or so, take my book home and drop stuff off/get my grocery bag, and walk down to the close, stupid, expensive grocery store for a quick thing (or two, depending on how expensive the 2nd is).

I've been really frustrated though with my phone because I think Apple Music is ****ing it up. If I'm listening to music while walking it'll randomly stop. If I'm talking to someone on the phone, even if I'm in a service zone, the call will drop and some random song will start playing. The other day I was talking to someone and then all of a sudden "**** Luck" by Modest Mouse of all songs came on (I opened all my apps and Music wasn't even there...I had to open it to close it) (but really, go look up that song, it's phenomenal, but be prepared for a surprise start). Oh, sometimes I'll be listening to music, it'll stop, and the little Siri circle opens waiting for me to say something even though I supposedly have Siri disabled.

I've tried restarting the phone and having it off for 10-30 minutes a day, signing out and signing into everything, changing all these different settings based on what other people with similar problems have done, and I don't know. Haven't found the answer. Is it wrong of me to want to listen to Weather Song by Colourblind when I'm having a mental breakdown in a rainstorm while walking around just trying to see tomorrow?
This happened to me with Spotify. It would keep turning off every few seconds. The issue was my headphones. Once I got new ones i haven't had an issue.
