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.

Do your budgies eat salad? You could let them out for a special treat, which you kindly scattered on the kitchen floor for them...

They'd love that! Problem is.... I'd never get them all back into the cage; they'd consider it budgie party day, and take over the apartment.

Come to think of it... that's not so much different from always. [g]

Budgie liberation! They were behind this all along. They knocked over your crutch with their shrill cheeping! Sound wave attack! Little Black Bolt budgies! And now... freedom is near!

(OK, I already know the salad has been cleaned up [g]... but I couldn't resist, this was too much fun.)

(Also agree about borrowing a bunny, and about chocolate being the answer to all things. Yes.)

Love you!
