Poor Timing

This is the timepiece I use not just to tell time, but also to wake up in the morning, to know what day and date it is, and to generally keep my life in order. It is therefore quite unfortunate that the screen is all but blank. The batteries are dying and I can only read my watch from certain lighting angles or else this is all I get. Still I keep it on my wrist, as it has been since I was in fifth grade. I know I'll get a new watch soon, a grown up watch with hands and a ladylike strap of appropriate size, and I know that the batteries need to be replaced stat, but for the time being, this is how things are going.
