This is what happens when you drop your phone in the toilet. 

I feel like such an idiot right now, but thankfully I have Toph in my life, who suggested we get insurance on the phones. So I’m only out about half what it would cost to normally replace it. Still, with this and the hammock thing the other day, I’m feeling like a real moron lately. Get it together, Chels. 

(P.S. I already put it in a bag of rice for a day and a half. This is the improved version. Earlier the keys wouldn’t work and the battery got all hot. I tried all the internet-search-able remedies, folks. Believe me. It’s shot.)
