If it's not one thing...

...it's my phone. Always my phone.

My usual phone situation is:

• I only have a cell phone


• A home phone isn't possible until the phone company comes out due to the lighting that struck my house almost a year ago


• I have no reception inside, so I have to go outside to talk on the phone


• The volume is busted (plus I'm deaf) so I have to talk with it on speakerphone


• The battery cover pops off periodically. It just doesn't fit right. I don't know why. It has NOT been in water.

And now it won't charge. I have to wiggle the charger cord around to try to get the little light to light up. And, even if I get it to light up, it somehow unjiggles itself and is no longer charging. So, even though it was plugged in overnight, it is dead. Dead dead dead.

And I'm ticked ticked ticked.

I was going to stay home today and keep cleaning and saving gas, but I just can't stand it, so I'm going to the T-Mobile store. Oh wait. I better think twice. The account is in Andy's name, and if I get down there and they tell me they can only help Andrew Ruggles, I will LOSE MY RELIGION on those people. So, I'd better call Andy first. OH WAIT. I CAN'T. NO.PHONE.

I'll email him from the computer, and if they internet goes out, I can't tell you what I'll do, but it will not be rational.
