Liquid Damage

Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I overcame the biggest fear that I have here....

July 26, 2016 

Today started off like no other. I arose early to get ready for school, work, class and all that good stuff. And of course, who wants to go to work? I'll wait. The real question is who HAS to go to work? Definitely me! So I finally get to the lab and begin whipping my bricks... *not really, its just sounds cool LOL but you're free to use your imagination and think I live this lifestyle* I have to use the restroom REALLY bad! I stop what I'm doing, take off my los guantes (gloves), lab coat, and everything else that's restricting me so I can do a race to the restroom. Well, let's consider it a very quick power walk. I get to the restroom and proceed to handle my business... Until I heard a "THUD"..... *heart stops* Immediately, I look down and see this precious, indispensable tool used as my only means of communication. Before I could fully think, I reached in the awful public bacteria playground considered a toilet and pulled that expensive ass phone out of that bacteria dungeon, I wash my hands and fix myself before frantically returning to the lab to search for the strongest antibacterial solution and a desiccator (an apparatus used to keep things dry). I douse my entire phone and myself with 200 proof ethanol!!!!! For those who don't know what ethanol is, its a type of alcohol used to disinfect and kill bacteria, only laboratory grade. Maybe thats why this doesn't work ahaha! Bump some liquid damage, this phone and I have ETHANOL DAMAGE LMAO. 
Alcohol errrrwhere.

Moral of the Story:

Dropping my phone in the toilet has been one of my biggest fears for a loooonnng time. As if it were the worst thing on Earth. However, after going through this situation, I understand that even when you think things are going bad in life or experience unexpected situations, God is still on your side. I was so scared because I live in another state BY MYSELF. Someone could have taken me or something, which I highly doubt lmao. I'm on that cake diet so I'll remain un-kidnapped! I use my phone as my alarm clock and calendar so how am I going to get up and handle my business?! BUT GOD! I set my old fashioned alarm clock and put on my wrist watch! Its possible! All things are possible through CHRIST! So everything is cool! 

I was too sad to not be able to connect with others but I don't like talking to people anyway, so ITS ALL GOOD! This situation has been a blessing in disguise because I haven't been distracted by technology. So, in closing, go into every situation with an open mind knowing that God won't let you know. His grace, love, and mercy are abundant and sufficient. 

Peace ya'll!
