I've definitely had an interesting week. As some people out there already know, I've been without a phone for almost a week. And let me tell you...I feel like I've been living in the dark ages. SERIOUSLY! I'm know I'm over reacting, but still.
Last Friday, as we were leaving to go get Lucy's brace, my mind was in a million different places. I realized as we were walking out the door, that I had left my phone on our "mini-bar." I reached over the sink to get it and proceeded to drop it in a pan that was soaking in nice hot water. I immediately took it out of the water (with cat like reflexes I might add), took it apart, and threw it into a bag of rice. It didn't help. My phone was a dead. No longer my life line. What was I going to do? We couldn't afford a new one. I felt like a doofus.
A friend came through in my time of need and offered me his for as long as I needed it. Turns out, it wasn't going to be as easy to activate as we had thought, so I bought a refurbished one offline and it came today! Now I just have to work on getting all my contact numbers in. Yikes! Big job!
I did think about a lot over the last week about time spent with my phone and a few things I'm taking away from this experience are:
1. Don't drop your phone in water, or leave it in a place close to water
2. I rely waayy too much on my phone.
3. I check facebook way too often with my phone
4. I need to be ok with not having a phone from time to time.
I waste too much time just fiddling with my phone, folks and I'm going to try and be better about that.
