the usual, example # 579, 385

a new friend kindly invited me to his swanky condo apartment yesterday on a beautiful san francisco day
we went to his outdoor jacuzzi
we wore bathrobes over our swimwear
it was a little cold out
but the water was warm and inviting

i loved the bathrobes!
so warm and welcoming too
and they had big deep pockets
i put my cell phone in one and it dangled lightly and it was fun

the water was warm
we stayed in for about 20 minutes
and chatted
no one else was around
we chatted
and enjoyed

i can't really do hot tubs or saunas or jacuzzis for too long
i get too hot
too overly hot
even though it was nice

so we got out eventually
dried off
put my shirt back on
and then happily pulled the robe around my body to warm myself back up

then...
the usual happened
everything's going well and beautiful and fun
but
i forgot my cell phone was in the pocket of the robe
and it came flying out as i pulled my robe on over my shoulder
and slid right into the jacuzzi

plunk

omg (as my niece would say, OMG!)
i quickly stepped into the jacuzzi
and grabbed it
soaking my shirt and robe and towel

so now i was wet all over
and my phone was making these strange vibrating noises
and now my phone won't stop making those strange vibrating noises
i think it's dead
it's dead
i know

anyway, i have to go replace it today
so if you've called me in the last day or two,
well, that's what's happened
and if you haven't
well
you should have
cuz at least now you have an excuse for why i didn't return the call

anyway
phone's dead
my jacuzzi moment, so rare and fun, turned to the usual self-destructive embarassment
but it's ok
we move on...
