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.

Budgies are certainly cute and the little guys gave a chirp of joy to hear you are thinking of them.

I had a reasonably good day, but sooo tiring...!

Hee. I smile to think of them chirping thus!

I am on the way home from work; had a not-bad day, apart from two and a half tense hours at the start because the acting-supervisor who'd yelled at me and threatened me with a disciplinary action last Friday was there again today... but he stayed away from me. Hasn't learned anything yet, however, as he was riding some of the other people pretty drastically. He needs to accept that people work best when they are respected and left alone.

That said... "reasonably good day," yes. My hands ache from the unaccustomed machine-feeder work. My right foot hurts badly, I don't know why, maybe from standing on thinner safety mats? Maybe I just need new shoes.

But I felt company most of the day. Good energy. I smile.

I'm glad you had a good day, and that the supervisor didn't bug you.

I had a pleasant day, with an afternoon nap and a certain amount of Doctor Who watching with maaboroshi and meri_oddities - "Blink" and "Utopia".

Yes. "Good" only inretrospect, as all the while I was terrified that he'd be walking up to me any minute. Sigh. Sorry to see someone turn into a martinet when placed into a position of minor power... and sorrier still to have lost a friend, as I just did. But glad that others have come forward and said that they saw the same irrational behavior.

Never a bad thing! Whoa, good episodes, too. Next time you watch them both, can I come watch too? Please? ...No. Wait. I lack something, Oh, right, I remember: those little green and white pieces of paper with the images of dead presidents on them! WEll, bummer.
