Oh, no. I have become one of them. You know, those people who are never without their cell phone and panic if they don't have it? Yeah. I, the phone averse one who scoffs at the social neediness of others, at their inability to tolerate silence for any length of time at all, have succumbed to this sad fate.

I cannot find my phone. I know exactly where I set it down, over by the CD player. I have tried to call it from my son's phone, to no avail. And this is driving me nuts. What if something goes wrong? What if there is an altercation? How am I supposed to plan out my day tomorrow without a phone? What if someone tries to call me and I don't know about it? :-(

Oh, this is so, so, sad....
