When I was a kid I used to glitch really bad. Not me, persay, but everything around me would break mysteriously within a small window of time. I started to think (realize) that it was me. I believe(d?) I somehow would glitch the system, making things that normally work not work merely because I approached them during this terrible window of time. Now I don’t glitch like that so much anymore. However, today was rough because it truly felt glitchy. It wasn’t tech this time. Instead it felt like anything that could go wrong would go wrong–as though my reserves of luck had run entirely dry and I was operating in the deep red.
It started with a case of the clumsies. The sink nozzle turned against me. It actively assaulted me, soaking me from head to toe while I was trying to put flowers for the Lady Talis into a vase. After I’d mopped and changed I went to eat a wrap I’d picked up from salad and go and indulge myself with a cucumber mint lemonade. The universe had other plans. Somehow reaching left across the small table I was using to hold my meal caused that drink to fall right and completely off the table landing on its head. On the floor. Spilling everywhere. So I went to get the mop bucket and fill that with water. It rebelled, sliding into the sink and again causing water to spray everywhere. I put that cleanup on hold–the sticky lemonade took priority. Retrieving the mop and half filled bucket, I returned to the room to cleanup the mess. Then I went back to clean up the other new mess. Finally, it was time to eat.
They put the wrong stuff (or just bad tasting stuff) in my wrap. I tried to power through for the sake of little victories (any meal is a victory in my book and if you’re eating once or twice a day, you don’t get a lot of victories). Of course the wrap fell apart and created a small mess. I gave up then. I threw away what was left and called the day a loss. This was 2 pm. I’ve had over 6 hours since of dodging falling scissors, making wrong turns, discovering my favorite dry cleaners is suffering from a plumbing issue that shut the store down, and a rather inane student freakout. My day has been…. bad.
A Better Tomorrow, yeah?
