Moron…

 Well my friends… I am a moron.

I went for a swim today, trying to get some exercise in.  I got a towel, put my phone in my pocket, my keys in the other, got my goggles and wandered down to the pool.

Set my towel on a chair, put down my bottle of gatorade, took off my t-shirt and realized I’d forgotten sunscreen.  This was made worse by the fact that the sun was already cresting over the clubhouse.  "Well, we can go quickly.  Let’s try for 15, bust them out as fast as we can, and in between laps you can hang out in the shade."  Sounded like a good plan.  Grab my goggles, walked to the edge of the pool and descended into the slightly cold water.  I put the goggles on and realize I wanted to text Abby to come join me when she……

FUCK!

MY PHONE IS IN MY POCKET STILL!

Well, to be fair, my keys are also in my pocket, which have the key fob to get me into the gates here at our apartment complex, as well as the gym, various other doors……

AND MY FUCKING PHONE IS STILL IN MY POCKETS!

I LEAP from the pool* and take my phone out my pocket and shake it vigorously.  (The keys, on the other hand, I wouldn’t find until lap 5.  Also, this is the second time I’ve got in the pool with my keys in my pocket.)  I go to try and turn it on, and remember, never turn your phone on while it’s wet.  Let it sit for many hours and dry.  (Or put it in a dish of rice to help dry it, which I did promptly after getting home.)  So I set it down and let it be, and get back in the pool.

Couple things: My contract isn’t over until February of next year… I haven’t synced my phone with my computer is over 6 months.  (It’s an iPhone 4GS, in case you don’t remember the saga of getting this phone last year…)

*hangs head*

To make things even worse, I remember putting it in my pocket and thinking "I’m gonna leave it there, aren’t I?  No, I’m not that stupid… I’ll remember…"

Oy… so yeah.  I no longer have a phone for the moment.  I still have my 3GS, which I’ll probably have to use for the time being…  We can’t really afford to get me another phone.

I’m so stupid.

That is all.
