Bad day, just getting worse.
I tried to clean, hit my leg on the table... big bruise. Bad.
Went to collect my drink cans to recycle and accidentally toppled the one I was drinking from, sending lemonade all over my keyboard, lap, desk, floor, chair, you name it. Which of course resulted in realizing that I was short on paper towels. Gah! Keyboard and mouse seem fine... wrist wrest destroyed... hopefully pants will survive, I don't know.
So then I changed into new jeans, right? And went to put the recycling in the car, taking my car keys and forgetting- that's right- my house keys. So I was locked out of my apartment until boyfriend got home 2 minutes ago. It got very cold in the car as I sat there for 2 hours. GAH! I couldn't drive anywhere because I didn't have my wallet which has my id card (so I can get into buildings on campus) and my driver's license. And then the battery of my cell phone went dead. ACK!!!
I don't like locking myself out of my own place for 2 hours. I really don't. I feel like an idiot and a half. But at least I was wearing dry pants. ANd I got some writing done in the car- wrote on the back of receipts... took me back to my days of writing on receipts and napkins and anything I could find whenever I had a spare moment.
Off to change and go to dinner and HOPE this is the end of the series of unfortunate mishaps! LOL

My door is one that locks from the inside when you turn the handle- you can't lock it with a key from the outside. Which means no key required to lock... so it's easy to leave without remembering your keys. I've locked myself out twice now. Ack!
My mouse is still a little sticky... I think I need to wipe it down again, once I buy new paper towels. But thanks much for the hug! I'm all toasty warm in jeans and a long shirt again, feeling very happy. As much fun as writing stories on the back of receipts is, I think I prefer the computer in the long run!

And that's true... a lot of inspiration comes from bad incidents in my life... so yeah... that's a nice way of looking at it! :-) Thanks!
