Defeated by a bowl of salad...

[fajrdrako]

So frustrating.

A few hours ago I was trying to get something in the kitchen - always a challenge - and my crutch fell over and hit a bowl of salad on the counter, which landed on the floor and broke. I was able to pick up some of the bigger pieces of bowl (because I could reach them) but I can't do anything about the salad. I can't even think of any good ideas. A vacuum cleaner won't work on it even if I could move the vacuum. I can't pick it up with hands or tongs or paper towel because I can't reach it. I can't use mop or broom or dustpan because I can't use two hands. I can't think of anything to do except wait till someone with more limbs or dexterity than I currently have comes by, and then beg them to do it.

Meanwhile the salad sits on the floor, looking depressing.

I shouldn't let it get to me but I hate this helplessness.

the image presented by your subject title had me envisaging a salad bowl dancing around your helpless form on the floor

LOL!

I think I read too much Torchwood crack!fic

Impossible.

The most annoying thing was having to go up the stairs backwards.

Thank goodness - no stairs in my apartment!

remember that it will get better.

Yes. It will. Thank you for saying that.

And yes, salad on my floor isn't the end of the world.

I'll put the paper towel over it now.

"Defeated by a bowl of salad!" does sound a bit like a grumpy Doctor griping about a temporary setback in fighting off the Krynoids (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Seeds_of_Doom), or something like that.

I'm the victim of a Krynoid salad! And yes, I would make a very grumpy Doctor just now. Frowny-face Doctor.
