Done for Me...

I broke out in a cold sweat.  The unthinkable had happened.

 I left my cell phone at home.

 Yep, enroute to the beach house, I went to call my Mom.  With that dull feeling in my gut, I realized that I had left my life link at home.  Quell horreur! That's French for 'Damn, I'm an idiot!'  Gasp, sharp inhale,and pop eyed realization-I was without my phone for, say...THE NEXT 40 HOURS!

After a few calming breaths, I got logical and realized that if anyone had an emergency, they could reach me via Randy who would be joining me later that night.  Okay...I'm cool, I got this.

BUT..but..what if, say, someone needed to text me?  Kristin, Matt, Lisa and others regularly update me on the trivialities of their lives-bringing a smile to my face.  Well, I guess by Monday morning I'll have plenty to be amused by.  But, what about Facebook?  Someone surely would be sharing pics of their kids that are ten years old, and I hate to miss that!  What if someone was checking into an airport?  Could they even board without my knowledge?  Guess I'll just have to suck it up and listen to Sirius instead of my custom Pandora playlist.  And it seems Siri has the weekend off, if I need clarification on anything.  Guess I'll just drive along without calling anyone and see how it goes.

The short story is yes, of course, I survived.  I kind of liked not being sucked into the vortex of my phone.  I didn't miss a thing.  Heading home this morning I saw a mama doe and her little spotted fawn that wasn't much bigger than Hazel the one-eyed wonder Cat.  Sooo cute.  Also a giant eagle perched in a tree.  And all of these sights were in my driveway!  A bit further up the road I had to brake for a fox with a giant plume tail and two more deer.  Had I been on a phone convo, I may have missed all of this beauty and possibly cracked up the front of Rocky Balboa.

It was nice and maybe I'll go phone free next weekend--NOT!  XO
