I'm still alive
Ever have one of those days where every single thing you do seems to go wrong, but not in a big life-altering way, just a little driving-you-absolutely-out-of-your-skull-insane kind of way?
If you haven't, don't tell me, OK?
Yesterday I burned myself twice (splattering grease from frying bacon beside my eye, AND scalding coffee all down the front of me because I was drinking from a thermos wrong, shut up, ANYONE could drink from a thermos wrong), spilled things a huge number of times, tripped a lot, and generally acted like a person in a cartoon while people politely pretended not to notice (at least I didn't burn the london broil. Yes, I used the barbecue. Maybe I had a death wish, I dunno.). I considered staying in bed this morning but figured that if I did, before long the whole thing would somehow manage to collapse and then we'd have to buy a new bed on top of everything else.
So far, today, I haven't endangered myself too much. I did catch my toe on the edge of the sidewalk while I was out walking and let out a loud yelp while I narrowly avoided landing on my face, but fortunately nobody was around. I think. At least I didn't hear anyone laughing.

Oh man, I don't think I will ever perfect the art of drinking from a thermos. I can't even get a take out cup of coffee at Starbucks without asking for it in a cup with ice and a straw. The other day I turned the corner in the car, with Jason holding his cup and brilliantly removing the lid at the precise moment I sped on the curve and spilled it all. over. him. Oh the screams. The horrible, horrible screams. I'm sorry you got so many boo-boos. Good thing nothing terrible happened.
