Between phones

My phone died on Wednesday. It rebooted once in the afternoon, then it froze and went off after I got home, and never came back, although it went through a protracted series of symptoms before I abandoned hope completely.

I ordered a new one, but it isn't set to arrive until the end of the week, and we're going camping Thursday and Friday night, so I may not have it until Saturday.

In the meantime, I probably won't answer calls or text messages, and may be slower than usual to respond to e-mails and chats, especially outside working hours.

I probably should have posted this sooner. Hopefully no one is already wondering why I've been ignoring them.

Living without one requires some adjustments. I have no idea what time it is. (I could resurrect one of my several watches, but I think they all have dead batteries.) I took the rest of the kids to the library and the park while Nicole and Rachel went swimming yesterday, and had to arrange meeting afterwards in advance!
