Is my battery on its deathbed?

Hey all - I was astounded at the Turbo battery life when I first got the phone, and it's behaved normally until about two weeks ago. Since then, I've been lucky to have it last one day. I really don't use my phone very much; maybe five or ten brief calls a day, an hour of surfing, some wifi hotspotting, etc. My first thought was some sort of draining app, and the phone had been bugging me to OTA upgrade forever, which I didn't, because I rooted with mofo. So I took the plunge on Sunshine/bootloader/5.1 and at first everything seemed fine, but I'm experiencing the same kind of things now. I'm at 36% now, having spent eight hours today outside doing yard work with the phone in my pocket. I did a bit of browsing, texting, phone today but not much.

I'm wondering if my phone battery, like all batteries eventually, is at the end of its life. I'm going to NYC early next week and really don't want my phone to be dying while there. Here's a screenshot of my battery usage today:

FWIW I didn't open Google Play today, so perhaps it was updating apps automatically - but I really don't have very many, so that shouldn't have taken massive amounts of battery.

There's a LifeLine place in town that's been good about replacing screens in the past so if it is my battery, I may take it to them.

Many thanks for your input!
