Summer? What?
I was persuaded to pick up a new LSAT class. It starts Wednesday. I just realized that with summer school, the class I’m teaching now, and the one about to start, I will have no free time at all for the next three days. In fact, I will have negative free time, because I’ll be out of the house all day both days, and even if I slept straight through from the moment I got home to the moment I had to leave, I *still* wouldn’t get enough sleep.
My brilliant solution is apparently to start off on the wrong foot by not getting enough sleep tonight—it’s 2:00 and I’m obviously not in bed. I AM SO SMART, PEOPLE.
More evidence for my intelligence: I broke my phone today. It was in my back pocket as I was filming a video at my elementary school, and I tried to swing from a soccer goalpost but fell flat on my clumsy ass, smashing the phone between said ass and the hard, hard ground.
It can still make and receive calls (the phone, not my butt), but the screen is completely busted. Now I can only call people if I’ve memorized either their phone numbers or the key combinations that look them up. I’ll try to set my alarms for tomorrow, but I’ll have to do that by memory, too. Menu, 7, 5, down, down, . . .
If the fall was hard enough to break my phone, you can only imagine what it did to my ass (I mean that literally—I’m not posting photos). I now have a huge, nasty butt-bruise to match the one on my leg. It hurts to sit. Seriously, my ass is swollen and hot to the touch—how sexy is that?*
Oh, and my car refused to start twice today**. Fun automotive fact: brake lights alone, if they randomly decide to stay lit even when the car is off and unoccupied, can drain a battery in about two hours. Oy.
So how was your day?

* NOT AT ALL.
** Much love to AAA. Their phone-center CSRs are polite and efficient, and the contractors who showed up to jump my car were on time and even called from the road to let me know when to expect them. Quick, easy, and about as painless as a dead battery could possibly be. I think I will send them a pleasant email.
