Belly dialing

When I head out for a walk I take just my phone and a bottle of water. The bottle has a
built in handle and is easy to carry but the phone isn't so comfortable, which I why I stick
it down my pants.

I've been wearing spandex capris which isn't as horrifying as it sounds since I've lost
that weight, but then I can't see myself from behind so what do I know? The phone
goes inside my knickers because I'm counting on drag to hold it in place. It's a much
better idea In theory than in practice, but I still think it's better than sticking it between
the knickers and the capris. So that's where it goes and it's ok for a while, but as I start
sweating all hope for drag disappears. This is where it gets delicate. I obviously can't
let it slide down to my crotch so periodically I have to retrieve it. I have to plan on no
cars coming from either direction because no matter how you look at it, my hands are in
inappropriate places. I also regularly hit the On button with my thumb or, as I did a couple of days ago, I hit the call back button to a friend who got a mysterious empty voice mail mid-grope. I say it was belly dialing because it makes for a better title, but I'm sure it was my thumb that was to blame. Quite sure.
