Whew...Hello?

Whew! Let me stop a minute and catch my breath. I have one of those cell phone plans with unlimited minutes. I was just thinking of revisiting that idea and going with a different-lesser-minute plan to save a little money. Well, that was probably a bad idea. Just as I had the thought, my phone began ringing and it hasn't stopped.

Another sign from the Universe? Why does the Universe care what cell phone plan I have? I've had calls from mare owners about breeding mares next year, mare owners with mares to foal, foal owners with foals to sell, foal owners with foals to brag about. Also, old friends with new husband problems, new friends with old husband problems, a friend who was re-connecting, and a family member from whom I have disconnected. And, best of all, people who are wanting to buy horses. Oh, and I spoke with my banker, lawyer, AND accountant all today.

All of these phone calls make me wonder how we functioned before there were cell phones? I truly cannot remember. I think it's some sort of self-imposed amnesia. I don't remember a time when I could not pick up a phone and reach the person I wanted nearly instantly. Worse yet, if I can't reach them by phone, I can generally just leave a message on Facebook and speak to them even sooner.

All of this "connection" to my fellow man has made me become even more impatient. I find myself becoming more irritable in restaurants, traffic, and don't even make me wait in line at the Post Office. Is my cell phone causing this phenomenon? Hmmm, I wonder- there must be someone I can call to ask?
