OK, so a few big things went down yesterday. My iPhone 3G died and forced me to bite the big expensive bullet and buy the iPhone 4. This unexpected expense really sucks right now, but what I need to do is focus on work and making up that extra expenditure. On the brightside, I did take a close look at my voice and data plans and cut them back to save myself $20/month – so that’s a good.

Abbe’s new phone also arrived yesterday. Abbe had a dinosaur of an cell phone and finally was able to get a new Blackberry Curve (for only $10 via her upgrade plan).

Now the bad news, so after I got back from the Apple Store. I found that my ex was still suffering from a bad, bad migraine and wasn’t able to watch the kids. On top of that, Abbe was feeling a little under the weather too. So I had to back out of going to see Arcade Fire and Spoon last night. A bummer, but somedays, it feels good to have folks that need you.

And now the worse news, my new favorite running trail, the one around Shawnee High School? Well, I’m now very convinced it’s riddled with poison ivy. How do I know? Well, mostly because it’s all over my feet and legs. I used to catch it every summer as a kid and be flat out miserable. I think that might be why I hate hot weather. I spent many summers hot, itchy, and swollen. So I’ve got it on my feet and lower legs, although a few other spots popped up last night. This sucks.
