that moment when....

10:00 appointment.

Left house at 9:20 to go to the island.

Important text needed to happen

when I finished with said appointment.

Turned on some music.

All going well.

Got stopped by a train...

road work,

slow moving traffic.

It was somewhere between the road work and the slow moving traffic,

way too far east to turn back,

that I said to myself....

"I need to make sure I got my phone,

something tells me that I didn't."

Grab purse.

Now thankful for slow moving traffic.

Started digging.

Didn't "feel" it.

Tossed purse aside to pay more attention to the task at hand,

Driving.

Stop light....Yay!

I can find out for sure.

Grabbed purse.

Took everything out one by one.

It wasn't there.

After going through the 5 stages of stress,

starting with denial

and ending with acceptance,

I calmly drove on to the appointment

without my phone.

What in the world did we do before?

Completely lost without our cells....

unable to function properly,

totally rendered helpless.
