Better off without

Yesterday evening was terrible.  I left my cell phone in the Moon's car after going for a walk around the hospital with her, which ordinarily wouldn't be too much of a problem.  (Google Voice, did I mention I love you?)  But because I am living in a hotel for the moment, the internet is a bit sketchy at times ... and last night was one of those times.  So basically, my mom was trying to call me, but I didn't have my phone; I couldn't call her via my over the internet, which is my back-up plan; I am living in a hotel, so I have no landline (well, it costs a ridiculous amount to call); and when I did try to call my mom with the hotel phone, 1) her work was closed so it went straight to voicemail, and 2) she had her own cell phone turned off.

And to top it all off, someone downstairs was cooking something and set the fire alarm off.  FIRE ALARMS SHOULDN'T HAPPEN IN REAL LIFE.  THEY SHOULD ONLY HAPPEN IN COLLEGE DORM ROOMS.  :P  Silver lining:  the cats were extremely confused about what was going on, and confused cats are adorable.

And now I have to go finish editing The Door in the Basement and Black and White, because I foolishly signed up to beta TWO books at the same time.  Before school starts.  On Friday.  :'(
