Bizarre Weekend.
I had a very strange weekend. I just became a hyper klutz for 48 hours. I woke on Saturday morning to the sound of rain, which is really strange for a day in January anywhere in Canada except maybe BC. So I go to make my breakfast and, I decide to check the thermometer first. It is right outside the kitchen door. I step out and take a quick look and get locked out for 15 minutes until I am able to get my neigbour's attention by pelting his window with a couple of snowballs. I get let in, warm up, have breakfast and go about my Saturday. I end up losing a glove on the metro (subway). Taking all things in stride I didn't let it get me down.
Then Sunday rolled around. Nothing humourous occurred before breakfast. But about ten minutes before I am about to leave for church, my glasses slip a lens pops out as they hit the floor and the screw (that holds the lens in place in the frame) goes flying. I remember there being a frantic search for the tiny piece of hardware which lasted about 5 of my remaining 10 minutes (which concluded in success). A period of indecision, which led me to conclude that I would need to conduct my business for the day in a near sighted way if I was going to be on time. I managed to squint my way through church and replacing my gloves, nearly missing my bus stops because I really need glasses. However once I return to my abode I am able to return my lens to its rightful place. I spend the rest of the evening relaxing, cooking supper and doing my laundry.
Imagine if you will it is now ridiculously early on Monday morning. About 5 minutes before I catch a bus to work. I appear to be missing a buss pass. Knowing it has been one of those weekends I get the pair of pants that I laundered last night after wearing them about the town the last time I had my pass. Did you know that card used for that particular pass completely disintegrates after going through the wash?
Now here is the punch line. That was the second one I had to buy this month because I lost my fist one a week earlier.
