ditziness

i managed to draw on my linen skirt today in the most unintentional way... thankfully the ink was water-soluble, or i might not forgive my silly self...

just before leaving work today (or my attempt at work; my head is clearly not quite back in the us!) i spilled coffee on my keyboard and my pc-mouse drank some of it... the mouse pad was nearly drowned in the brown stuff... and my table and drawers were nearly consumed... but i got help cleaning up my mess... and i think the electronics still work...

i finally went food-shopping and filled up my (somewhat) empty fridge... among the purchase was this half gallon (1.89L) glass bottle of fresh farm milk. the traditional sort which has a layer of cream on the top underneath the cap... quite rare these days... but it was on offer today and i really miss such traditions, having been reminded so very fondly by my generous hosts and friends back in the uk during my recent return... i was really excited to have some and couldn't figure out how to get the cream out to get to the milk... broke the creamy seal with a silver teaspoon (fossicked at a british charity shop, which travelled with me to germany, back to edinburgh, and to the us!) and the milky liquid splatter all over my wee work top, over the other cutlery in the drawer which i absent-mindedly left open, and all over me... in my apparent state of sleepy shock, i dropped the wee spoon into the bottle which engulfed it whole... then i spent the next quarter of an hour figuring how to fish the spoon out!

the all-purpose chopsticks were shockingly no good in this instance... eventually, i ended up pouring the milk out into smaller containers... and rescued the wee spoon...

i don't think anyone could beat me to all that ditziness in a day! oh well... =CS
