Do Not Disturb — what a lovely, wonderful, sigh-of-relief setting — one of many pretty bells and whistles the iPhone comes equipped with.

Except when you’re the one that’s silenced.

Been there.

Words of affirmation this week: I am not easily and immediately accessible to every and anyone simply because I post online.

Maybe.
