The vet just called to reschedule Snookums's dental appointment next Friday because one of the veterinarians hurt her shoulder in a skiing accident and they don't know for sure when she'll be able to use the arm again! OUCH, poor her, but also, I was laughing with relief that (a) she didn't get covid-19 and (b) I don't have to go to another vet (just wait 2 more weeks). Yipes. And I'm glad she survived... sounds like it was a tossup if she got an injury like that.
The other day I dropped my phone in the [clean] toilet at work, something that's never happened to me before, and I was freaking out... but my phone was completely fine. I didn't even have to turn it off! I sanitized the heck out of it with alcohol-based sanitizer and blotted at it with a paper towel. I suppose the water didn't go inside! It wasn't fully immersed in water of course, because modern toilet bowl are not that deep, and it wasn't in the water for too long, but still, I was SO relieved! I was really expecting to have to get a new phone, or at least dry it out in rice, after that, but nope.
In fact thise phone is over 3 years old now (a Oneplus 5T), so it's a bit remarkable that it's working exactly the same as always with no glitches or problems still, apart from a slightly reduced battery life. It still goes the whole workday no problem, even when connected to the internet most of the time: it only gives me trouble if I want to listen to music for a long time as well. I've destroyed at least five of those shatterproof glass screen protectors so far on it, but the screen underneath is flawless.
The only result of the misadventure was the vinyl octopus sticker on the back of it peeled off, and since the case is clear that meant I have to find some other sticker[s] so I can still distinguish it at a glance from all the other black phones the same size that are always lying around. So I spent like... two days in an absolute orgy of browsing stickers on Redbubble, and I'm not even a big sticker user. It was just really hard to decide! In the meantime I put the SINGLE unused sticker of appropriate size that I had lying around on it, and it's a Kaweco brand logo, which is... fine... I'm not really a giant Kaweco fanatic, but I do own four of their pens, so. That's legit.
More than I've spent on any other brand of pens. (Wonder which one it came with? Probably the brass one, that was the most expensive. And ironically is the least used because the cap doesn't post securely which makes it a pain to write with, even though the feel and weight of a brass fountain pen IS delicious in the hand.)
