Scatter-brained me
It wasn't till I was well on my way towards the bus depot that I realised I didn't have my mobile phone with me. Turning my waist pouch inside out proved fruitless, as did a search of the front compartment of my backpack -- the two places I normally put my phone. Oops. And to think I'd packed my phone charger!
Not only was I without a phone... I now didn't have any way of telling time, coz I'd quit wearing a watch months ago, relying on the time display on my phone screen. Do you know how weird it feels to not know exactly what the time is? I knew I was early, but now I had no idea just HOW early I was. I sat down in the bus depot and didn't dare move, for fear I'd somehow miss the bus!
So I spent my weekend without my mobile phone, only to come back and find that one of the speed-dating guys had called on Saturday. The first time he called, I had to cancel coz my car broke down. The following weekend was Easter. This weekend I was out of town and didn't bring my phone; goodness knows what he was thinking when I didn't return his call immediately. Next weekend I might be going out of state again. At this rate, he's gonna think I've been conjuring up excuses not to meet him!! (And very creative excuses they are, too... *grin*)
Honestly I felt so dumb confessing that I'd left my phone behind and gone away without it. *doh*
I had a fun weekend, managed to catch up with some old friends and chat about everything including but not limited to the state of our spiritual lives, men & relationships, chest hairs' texture & sexiness, married life, self-image & losing weight, God's faithfulness, and sex. Came back happier and more relaxed... only to get into a flap this morning over losing a very important little scrap of paper. But I found it after a massive search and several frantic prayers, so all's right in my world again... temporarily. *rolls eyes*
